Promoting and Developing Social Security Worldwide.
In Focus: Extension of social security coverage

The extension of coverage is one of the greatest challenges for social security today. Studies estimate that between 70 and 80 per cent of the global population live in a state of “social insecurity”. There is, however, growing recognition of the contribution of social security systems to social stability and poverty reduction.
