Please see our new paper which shows that the ILO's claim that it will cost 19.8% of the combined GDP of low-income countries to introduce universal social security is completely wrong. It's way cheaper! developmentpathways.co.uk/publications/u… @SP_Gateway @scottsantens @soc_protection @Shiringul

@JustKIDDing_DP also shares the benefits of universal pensions through experiences from other countries, not only raising standards of living for older persons but also for their families, especially young children. #SocialProtection #OldAgePensions

@ArabReform_ARI @K_Beckerle @amnesty @luca_pellerano @ilo Key takeaways from our discussion are 🚫Poverty targeting is limited and has high exclusion errors, particularly in complex contexts where poverty rates are rapidly expanding and deepening. For example, in 🇵🇸 Palestine 58% of the poorest are left out of poor relief programs (2/3)

While @TheEconomist has published an important article on the importance of tackling undernutrition, it fails to mention the importance of building a universal, lifecycle social security system in all countries as a critical measure to tackle the problem. economist.com/briefing/2024/…
