Extending Social security in Latin America and the Caribbean: integration of schemes and solidarity in financing
Effective and dynamic coverage extension of social security
The report surveys current practices on coverage extension in Latin America and the Caribbean, and proposes new goals and strategies.

It recognizes that inequalities and budget constraints restrict the possibility of achieving the normative goal of social security for all. Inequalities are implicit in segmented labour markets where a large share of citizens cannot comply with the obligations of a contributory social security system. Budget constraints are the result of contributory and tax-collection bases that are insufficient to finance adequate benefits for all. Recent experience shows that countries are integrating different mechanisms of social protection into a single social security system, thus integrating contributory and tax funding, increasing competition in the provision of benefits, and improving overall regulation and surveillance.
