They play important roles in social policy. Safety nets redistribute income, thereby immediately reducing poverty and inequality; they enable households to invest in the human capital of their children and in the livelihoods of their earners; they help households manage risk, both ex ante and ex post; and they allow governments to implement macroeconomic or sectoral reforms that support efficiency and growth. To be effective, safety nets must not only be well intended, but also well designed and well implemented 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEconomic assistance, Domestic 606 $aPoor$xServices for 606 $aPoverty$xPrevention 606 $aSocial planning 606 $aSocial policy 615 0$aEconomic assistance, Domestic. 615 0$aPoor$xServices for. 615 0$aPoverty$xPrevention. 615 0$aSocial planning. 615 0$aSocial policy. 676 $a362.5/6 701 $aGrosh$b Margaret E$01508815 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782571403321 996 $aFor protection and promotion$93740304 997 $aUNINA
