This chapter examines the rationale for reform options that are presently in negotiation (Inter-Departmental Task Team on Social Security 2012). In doing so this case study looks at the role a system of comprehensive social protection could play in addressing structural inequality. The focus on policy recommendations is instructive as insight is offered into reform approaches relevant to countries at a similar or lower level of development to South Africa. The chapter is broadly divided into two main sections. First, a situation analysis is offered which identifies the strategic policy gaps in the South African system of social protection in terms of both entitlements and the institutional framework. Second, the emergent recommended policy reform framework is presented.

The idea of a basic income grant (BIG) is not new and there are ongoing debates internationally as well as nationally in low- and middle-income countries just like in high-income countries of a BIG as a social protection policy option. The challenge is that there are different conceptualisations, which conflates and muddles the understanding. In the context of social assistance provision, a universal basic income grant (UBIG) is often compared and contrasted against targeted cash transfers (CTs). This case study systematically presents the arguments for targeted CTs and UBIGs. The value of the case study is that it systematically brings together these arguments, highlighting the variations in UBIG applications, including the evidence and actual impact of UBIG experiments. The structure of the case study is as follows: Section 2 simultaneously contrasts and compares the arguments for targeted CTs and UBIG. Section 3 discusses UBIG experiments, as well as presenting the evidence on the application of the UBIG idea, and Section 4 concludes.

Driven by the exponential increase in the computational power of machines, data digitalization and scientific advancement in robotics and automation, the current wave of technological change is seemingly unprecedented in speed and scale. It transforms manufacturing and businesses making them more flexible, decentralized and efficient (Lasi et al. 2014). Even though technological change is nothing new, some argue that it is different this time. The new technologies have not only the potential to substitute labor (Nomaler and Verspagen 2018), they also change the way people work. The trend towards new forms of employment is no longer a marginal phenomenon.
在机器计算能力的指数级增长、数据数字化以及机器人和自动化科学进步的推动下，当前的技术变革浪潮在速度和规模上似乎是前所未有的。它改变了制造业和企业，使它们更加灵活、分散和高效(Lasi et al. 2014)。尽管技术变革并不是什么新鲜事，但有人认为这一次有所不同。新技术不仅有替代劳动力的潜力(Nomaler and Verspagen 2018)，而且还改变了人们的工作方式。新就业形式的趋势不再是一个边缘现象。
