Background
Since before its independence, Lebanon has adopted a “political sectarianism” system.
From an economic standpoint, a capitalist (neoliberal) market economy was adopted, and the state’s economic role has been limited compared to other Arab countries. With regards to social protection, the relevant state institutions and related laws were introduced in the 1960s (for example, the National Social Security Fund and cooperatives). There have been no fundamental changes in the social protection system in Lebanon since the end of the civil war up to the present time. Today, the system is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation and weak coordination and integration.
