Summary (English)

This paper presents a broader concept of social protection within the Decent Work Agenda of the International Labour Organization (ILO). It provides an analysis of the different dimensions of social protection within the context of life cycle events, considering all phases of life, not only working life but also including childhood and old age. Within this framework, it examines the role of the Social Protection Sector and how a broader concept of social protection can be advanced within the Decent Work Agenda. It is hoped that this paper will enrich and make a positive contribution to the debate on social protection in a time when its need has become more important than ever.
