Social Protection
Social protection for workers is a form of protection provided to workers and their families against various labor market risks, for example, the risk of losing a job, decreasing wages, work accidents, illness, disability, old age, death, and others.
The social protection system provides protection not only for those who work but also for the whole community. In developed countries, labor social security is the most crucial part of the social protection system because the labor social security program will cover almost all families in the community.
- However, in developing countries, especially in the Asia Pacific, formal labor social security covers only a small number of families because most of the population is engaged in the informal sector.
The social protection system can be seen as a tool to fulfill at least some basic human needs. Social protection has been accepted almost universally, both as a means of reducing and preventing poverty.
