Summary: | This report commences the review and documentation of the New Ireland Old Age and Disability
Social Pension.
The review has focused on the design and operation of the scheme, including the
payment modality, and the effectiveness of coverage of both the old age pension and disability
components. The economic and social impact of the pension on recipients’ wellbeing, the wellbeing
of their households and their communities has not been reviewed in detail, although limited
qualitative research through focus group discussions has been undertaken as part of the review.
The second objective of the report has been to draw key lessons from the New Ireland experience
with the implementation of the social pension, which may inform the implementation of the
national social pension. |
