Synopsis

Social protection is a term used to describe a range of policies and services designed to protect individuals and families from financial hardship and social exclusion. It includes both public and private measures, such as cash transfers, health services, pensions, employment insurance, and other social programs. In recent years, the concept of social protection has expanded to include not just economic security, but also social inclusion and human rights.

The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, with more people living in urban settings and moving across borders for work, study, and other reasons. This new reality has created a need for social protection that is both more effective and more progressive. Progressive social protection is a social protection approach tailored to the particular needs of different populations and contexts. It seeks to ensure that all people have access to essential services and support while also promoting inclusion and social justice.

This book aims to provide an overview of progressive social protection, looking at its definition, need, benefits, implementation, and challenges. It also offers insight into how progressive social protection can be maximized to benefit individuals and society as a whole.
