This strategy is another key measure in ADB's battle to halve the proportion of very poor people in Asia and the Pacific by 2015.
It has five basic components:
labor market policies and programs designed to generate employment, improve working conditions and promote the efficient operation of labor markets
social insurance programs to cushion the risks associated with unemployment, ill health, disability, work-related injury and old age
social assistance and welfare service programs for the most vulnerable groups with no other means of adequate support, including single mothers, the homeless, or physically or mentally challenged people
micro and area-based schemes to address vulnerability at the community level, including microinsurance, agricultural insurance, social funds and programs to manage natural disasters
child protection to ensure the healthy and productive development of children
