This book pays detailed attention to each of the Recommendation's key principles, including the following:
- - state responsibility;
- - universality of protection;
- - entitlement based in law;
- - adequacy and predictability of benefits;
- - non-discrimination;
- - financial solidarity;
- - good governance;
- - coherence of policies; and
- - social participation.
A special feature of the book is its inclusion of case studies that display innovative social protection schemes focusing on children and families, persons of working age (particularly informal sector workers), and elderly persons. A concluding section offers useful insights on measures that can be taken and lessons learned.
As a deeply informed and practical guide to ways in which states can (and do) establish and maintain a social protection floor as a fundamental element of their national social protection systems, this book has no peers. It will be warmly welcomed by jurists concerned with social protection throughout the world, by pertinent government agencies at all levels, by non-governmental organizations, and by academics in the field.
