- The International Labour Organization (ILO) revealed that more than half of the world’s population is covered by some form of social protection.
- The report is named “World Social Protection Report 2024–26: Universal social protection for climate action and a just transition”.
- 52.4 per cent of the global population is now covered by at least one social protection benefit, up from 42.8 per cent in 2015.
- In the 20 countries most vulnerable to climate change, a staggering 91.3 per cent of people (364 million) lack any form of social protection.
- Globally, 50.1 per cent of women are covered by at least one social protection benefit, compared to 54.6 per cent of men.
- Only 28.2 per cent of children aged 0-15 receiving child or family cash benefits globally.
- This leaves 1.4 billion children without coverage.
- High-income countries spend an average of 16.2 per cent of their GDP on social protection (excluding health).
- But low-income countries allocate a mere 0.8 per cent.
