当前的全球金融危机将对发展中国家的穷人产生短期和长期的不利影响。虽然这场危机的复杂性使其发展道路难以预测，但社会保障思想和做法的最新进展为发展中国家和发展机构应对危机提供了一套可借鉴的经验。认识到这场危机将对国家预算产生压力，并可能导致社会和政治动荡，本文认为，决策者思考和设计社会保障应对措施的方式将需要仔细考虑。它提出了一个确定应对措施优先次序的框架，并主张在设计社会保障措施时，既要考虑到当前的需要，又要考虑到社会保障计划的更广泛的发展作用。社会保障措施可以成为重建社会契约的一个重要因素，从而为发展建立有效的未来治理。
The current global financial crisis will have adverse effects on poor people in developing countries in both the short- and long-term. While the complexity of this crisis makes its path difficult to predict, recent advances in social protection thinking and practice provide a body of experience for developing countries and development agencies to draw upon in responding to the crisis. Recognising that the crisis will produce pressures on national budgets and could lead to social and political unrest, this article argues that the ways that policymakers think about and design social protection responses will require careful consideration. It proposes a framework for prioritising responses and argues for an approach to designing social protection measures that take account of both immediate needs and the wider developmental role of social protection schemes. Social protection measures can be an important element in reconstructing a social contract that builds effective future governance for development.
