A new ILO report shows that massive efforts are still needed to ensure that the right to social security becomes a reality for all. The report highlights that universal social protection contributes to eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, promoting economic growth and social justice, as well as achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The ILO flagship report gives a global overview on the recent trends and following a life-cycle approach analyses the current state of social protection for children, women, men of working age, persons with disabilities and for old-age pensions and care.
