L’ONU sostiene la creazione di una base comune per la protezione sociale mondiale

Monday, February, 14, the Commission for Social Development met for the week of preparation for the June summit, during which governments, private companies and trade unions of 183 UN member states in addressing the issue of establishing a common basis for social protection worldwide.

On that occasion, the Director of the Social Security Department International Labour Organization, Michael Cichon, said that "the United Nations has begun to lay the foundations for a" social protection "that would ensure the world food security, health services for all and old age pensions. "What is lacking, he added, is only the political will.

The Director drew attention to the need for more effort in this direction, pointing out that social security is a human right and that 2% of global GDP would be sufficient to ensure that right to all the world's poor.

addition, Michael Cichon recalled how social transfers represent the most effective tool for redistribution of wealth and poverty reduction: "80% of world population has no access to social protection, and this' seriously undermines the possibility developing countries to enjoy growth that is strong and consistent. "

Currently, approximately 17% of the world's wealth is allocated to social protection, but with a strong inequality in the distribution between the developed and developing countries, towards the former.

before the press, the Director pointed out four pillars on which form the foundation to create a comprehensive social protection system, namely: a minimum income for all children, access to social support for people of working age, old-age pensions, basic health services for all.

Michael Cichon, he concluded by maintaining that the key to effective action lies in political will to combat the tendency of developed countries to reduce public expenditure, especially in times of economic crisis. The victims of these wrong choices agriculture policies are the very people who would have more ' need assistance: the elderly, the sick and poor.
