The concept of social protection has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the context of low-income families. Social protection refers to a range of policies and programs designed to protect individuals and households from poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion. The primary objective of social protection is to ensure that all citizens have access to basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. This article will critically review the current state of social protection for low-income families, highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and future directions.
