The Revised Social Protection Index
The revised SPI is a product of a commissioned study of the Asian Development Bank in 2010 following the limitations found in the SPI created in 2004. The revised SPI is a unitary indicator which can help governments evaluate the success in the breadth and depth of coverage of their entire social protection system.
The SPI can also provide useful information on the relative scale of the three major categories of social protection: social insurance (SI), social assistance (SA) and labor market programs (LMP). Further, the SPI can also supply indicative information on the distributional impact of social protection to the poor vis-à-vis non-poor and to women vis-à-vis men.
