Social Protection in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Theoretically, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the world's countries that has made social protection one of the priorities of its policy. This desire has long been expressed through legislation which, despite its relevance, remains marred by weaknesses. In addition to the diachronic approach adopted to shed light on the successive changes in social protection in this country, this book also includes a legal analysis. The aim is to provide the reader with an enriching insight into the legal regimes governing social protection in the DRC. The book also highlights the importance of social protection to development, but in a country where governance has long been criticized. For this reason, the limitations of social protection instruments will not escape scrutiny in this book.
