Webinar: Combating inequalities: what role for universal social protection?

Join the ILO, WHO and UNRISD for the Webinar  ‘Combating inequalities: what role for universal social protection?’

Income inequality remains a major global challenge, with the bottom 50 per cent of households holding only 25 per cent of total income, whereas the top 10 per cent hold 30 per cent. How can universal social protection and its financing help reverse this trend? Discover new ILO research showing that countries that have invested in social protection have lower income inequality. Let’s explore how social protection can foster equitable and sustainable development!

✅ Helmut Schwarzer, Head of the Public Finance, Actuarial Services and Statistics (PFACTS) unit, ILO
