Closing Financial Gaps for Contributory Schemes

Nuno Meira Simoes da Cunha, ILO - Other materials by the author

This presentation shares the International Labour Organization's (ILO) two-dimensional approach for the extension of social security: the vertical and horizontal approach. The former progressively ensures higher levels protection while the latter guarantees access to essential health care and minimum income security for all. It also recommends ways social protection and insurance can be more responsive to people's needs. Particularly, it discusses the role non-contributory pensions can play to extend coverage and reduce poverty.
