Social Protection Floor for a Fair and Inclusive Globalization
This report, prepared under the guidance of Ms Michelle Bachelet and members of the Advisory Group on the Social Protection Floor convened by the ILO, shows that the extension of social protection, drawing on social protection floors, can play a pivotal role in relieving people of poverty and deprivation.
It can in addition help people adapt their skills to overcome the constraints that block their full participation in a changing economic and social environment, contributing to improved human capital development and stimulating greater productive activity. The report also shows how social protection has helped to stabilize aggregate demand in times of crisis and to increase resilience against economic shocks, contributing to accelerate recovery towards more inclusive and sustainable development paths.
