Our results indicate that growth in national income and the frequency of social reform in MENA countries are related, first positively for low growth rates, then negatively for high growth rates.
Using panel data for seventeen countries from 1961 to 2015, we estimate RE Poisson regression models. This fills a gap in literature where analyses of MENA social policies have been lacking due to limited data. By constructing a novel measure on the frequency of changes in social protection policies, we provide preliminary, yet new evidence on the determinants of social security reforms in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries.
