The ITUC has welcomed the recommendations of a new report “Social Protection Floor for a Fair and Inclusive Globalization”


http://www.ituc-csi.org/ituc-welcomes-un-social-protection.html Presented this week to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon by former President of Chile and UN Women Executive Director Michelle Bachelet, and ILO Director General Juan Somavia. “The fact the vast majority of the world’s population is not covered is a scandal, and an indictment of failed policies in the era of globalisation. This report underlines the urgency and necessity of the task of building a global social protection floor for all women and men who have no such protection, and should also provide impetus to improve systems which are deficient.
