ILO's contribution to the outcome

Following the official request of the Public Pension Agency and based on extensive consultations with employers’ and workers’ organizations, ILO carried out an actuarial valuation of the social security schemes for public sector workers administered by the Palestinian Pension Agency. ILO organized a high level workshop in November 2014 to launch the ILO Actuarial valuation of the social security schemes for public sector workers administered by the Palestinian Pension Agency. On this occasion, a high level briefing meeting with members of the national social security advisory committee, as well as a press conference were also organized at the Prime Minister’s office. RBSA funding has contributed to supporting this work and to the achievement of the reported results.

Gender equality & non-discrimination

• The new social security system of Palestine will provide social security to private sector workers without any discrimination. • The new maternity insurance scheme will transfer the liability of financing maternity leaves from the employer to the new social security institution, financed by all insured workers and their employers. It will equalize the labour cost of men and women and thus support female labour market participation. • The new social security system will help to formalize the informal economy through the registration of employers and workers and their participation in the new social security system.
