Summary (English)

This document is a synthesis of six country papers - India, Jordan, Morocco, Syria, Thailand and Viet Nam - prepared for the ILO in the past 12 months. The papers describe the social protection systems currently in place in each of the countries, relating them to the challenges that each country faces and to the Decent Work Country Programmes (DWCPs) being undertaken in cooperation with the ILO and also to broader UN Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAF) and National Development Plans. This paper follows the broad structure of the papers prepared for the ILO although in reality there are significant differences between them in style and content. The papers provide detailed data and analysis on the coverage and cost of social security systems. All six countries are reforming or are considering reforms to their social security systems.
