Responding to the crisis: Building a 'social floor'

Magazine World of Work (December 2009) 67

Cover story: Current estimates suggest that 50 per cent of the world’s population currently live without any social security protection while 80 per cent live without adequate protection.

What’s more, the present global financial and economic crisis is expected to impact heavily on existing social security systems worldwide. But the crisis also provides opportunities for change – not least in policy thinking.

World of Work magazine is published three times a year by the Department of Communication and Public Information of the ILO in Geneva.
