Social protection does not include :
Answer: B
Social protection does not include doling out alms.
Social protection is the set of public policies and programmes that protect people against poverty and vulnerability across their lives: social insurance, social assistance and labour market measures. Examples are benefits for the unemployed, food subsidies such as the public distribution system, and care and support for vulnerable groups such as older persons, persons with disabilities and children ('core' in the paper is evidently 'care').
Giving alms is private, discretionary charity. It creates no entitlement and offers no security, which is precisely what distinguishes it from rights-based social protection.
