Tanzania mainland is susceptible to many factors present in the demographic, labour market and economic environment that could challenge the social protection system. The ILO-DFID funded project indicates that a global minimum social protection package would substantially reduce the poverty head-count, close the shortfall in consumption and cost no more than 3 to 4 per cent of GDP. This report builds on this work to analyse and provide the foundation for future analysis of policy options regarding social protection as means of reducing poverty in the region. This report takes into account demographic and macroeconomic information specific to mainland Tanzania and makes projections from a baseline year based on the two types of social protection schemes - contributory and non-contributory.
