Description
The project “Improving China’s institutional capacity towards universal social protection,” is funded by the European Union under the EU’s Partnership Instrument “EU-China Cooperation on Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion.” The project focuses on 2 objectives. First, the ILO will work with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MoHRSS), other relevant ministries and the social partners to promote the ratification and application of ILO Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention (No. 102). To sustain the achievement of this objective, activities will be undertaken with a view to improving both the adequacy and the financial sustainability of pension schemes including through capacity building programmes in actuary and the development of long-term planning tools. Second, the ILO and its national partners will work together toward the extension of social security coverage so as to include workers in non-standard forms of employment, especially migrant workers, in line with international standards. Activities undertaken to reach this objective include the formulation of coverage models, the organisation of capacity-building programmes and the development of knowledge products including on the portability of benefits. Raising workers’ awareness about the benefits of social protection and contributing to a culture of social protection are important features of the Project. The project implementing period is 36 months starting on July 1st 2019.SDG
