Economic Policies for Social Justice

Social Protection and Equality

Inclusive development cannot be achieved without strong, universal social protection systems that safeguard people against poverty, insecurity, and exclusion. In many contexts, gaps in coverage leave informal workers, women, and marginalized communities without adequate support in times of need. Strengthening social protection is therefore essential for advancing equality, promoting decent work, and ensuring resilience in the face of crises. Through research, advocacy, and multi-stakeholder engagement, efforts in this area aim to design and implement sustainable systems that protect rights, reduce inequality, and build fairer, more cohesive societies.
