Workshop on extension of social security coverage in Lao People's Democratic Republic
From 15 to 17 February 2023, a number of government organizations, social partners and civil society groups met in Luang Prabang for the workshop on “Extension of Social Security Coverage to the Informal Economy in Lao People's Democratic Republic”.
The objectives of the workshop were to present the findings from a recent ILO quantitative research on this topic; to share stories from the field and participants' experiences; to learn what other countries are doing to expand social security coverage to informal workers; and to better understand the real situation through a visit to the Luang Prabang provincial social security office.
