Thanks for you comment, Wellignton.
Indeed, I meant welfare policies made by governments for their own people, not international policies. Is there welfare policies in Ethiopia, like income transfer, free public health care, or free public schools? Is there any kind of social protection for those unable to get a formal job? Here in Brazil, many jobs are still informal, so there is no protection like health insurance, etc.
Yes Roger! I read between the lines. My head I think is full of war because the world is at war.
Sorry for that. Ethiopia is a very poor country and I am not sure they could afford such welfare policies. I am Zimbabwean and I know there before the economic meltdown welfare policies included free education and health for a certain category of poor citizens. At the moment what is free is handouts of food stuffs. They also used to have 'food for work'. It was some form of welfare but people were given this food or money after closing drains/dongas, putting water in dip-tanks, etc. I hope with the political and economic difficulties there they are still ccontinuing.
