Social protection in developing countries

Аннотация

Social protection, or social security, as a human right is defined as a set of measures and programmes aimed at reducing and preventing poverty and insecurity during a person's lifetime. Social protection includes child and family benefits, maternity, unemployment, work injury, sickness, old age, disability and survivors' benefits, and health care. By 2030, the world's countries could provide their populations with a basic set of social protection measures, known as the social protection floor, for which more than US$500 billion a year would need to be spent.
