Welcome to the
Global Socio-Economic Security Database

Site SecSoc: Areas of work
The former programme on socio-economic security developed a global network - VoiceNet - to generate, collect and analyse information on socio-economic security. Information is compiled in the Global Socio-Economique Security database.

The objective of this database was to develop standard measures of socio- economic security performance, through a complementary set of indexes related to basic security.
This dataset is divided into three databases as regard to the nature and the type of sources of information. At present, the social security database is the only one that is accessible, without any password. A limited access is possible for the other sub-databases.
