Introduction
We are observing a renewed appreciation of social protection: the recent pandemic once again reminded us that rights-based social protection systems, are powerful socio-economic stabilizers and engines of development.
The essential remerging questions in the current debate around the future of social protection systems go back to reflections on different forms of protection, adaptive strategies coordinating social protection with other public policies, diversity of schemes and their design, and sustainable solutions to finance these systems.
- Who should benefit from social protection? Poor and vulnerable or all of us?
- What are the main barriers and possible solutions towards extending social protection coverage?
- Who are the architects of social protection systems: lawyers or economists?
- Do all countries can afford comprehensive social protection solutions?
- Is social protection a necessary investment?
- Who are the key actors who make transformative decisions?
- What are the current trends and examples of innovative solutions?
These are only a few of the many questions we invite you to reflect on together with the key speakers of this Masterclass who are ready to tell you their stories.
