Guy Ryder, ILO Director-General (in English):
“The lack of social protection leaves people vulnerable to ill health, to poverty, to inequality and social exclusion throughout the life cycle. And it’s also, and I think this is an important thing to mention, a significant obstacle to economic growth and social development.”

Guy Ryder, ILO Director-General (in English):
“I think the key finding is that despite progress made, and there is progress there, 55% of the world population, we’re talking about 4 billion people, still lack social protection coverage of any type whatsoever. Now when the 2030 development agenda has clearly made universal social protection a goal for the next thirteen years we have to work out how to accelerate progress in this area. I think we all understand that social protection is a human right, so we should be operating because we want to meet those human rights, but also because this is good for our economies. This makes labour markets work better. These makes working people more secure in their lives. So a lot of progress to be made and we think this report gives a very important wealth of data about where we stand and how far we still need to go.”
