摘要
尽管全球在扩展社会保护方面取得了重大进展,但对于大多数人口来说,社会保障作为国民权利仍然尚未成为现实。全球仅有45%的人口被至少一项社会保护制度有效覆盖,仅29%的人口享有全面的社会保障。覆盖面缺口与社会保护方面的投入严重不足有关,特别是在非洲、亚洲和阿拉伯的一些国家。缺乏社会保护造成人们在整个生命周期中容易陷入贫困,遭受不平等和社会排斥,从而构成经济和社会发展的主要障碍。联合国可持续发展目标提倡全民普遍的社会保护。尤其是,各国有责任向全民提供起码保证基本水平的社会保障作为社会保护制度的组成部分。虽然多国已经实现全民保障,但放眼世界则尚需付出更多努力以扩大社会保障覆盖面并确保充足的待遇给付。
Despite significant progress in the extension of social protection in many parts of the world, the human right to social security is not yet a reality for a majority of the world＇s population. Only 45 percent of the global population are effectively covered by at least one social protection benefit. ILO estimates also show that only 29 percent of the global population are covered by comprehensive social security systems that include the full range of benefits. Coverage gaps are associated with a significant underinvestment in social protection, particularly in Afiica, Asia and the Arab States. Lack of social protection leaves people vulnerable to poverty, inequality and social exclusion across the life cycle, thereby constituting a major obstacle to economic and social development. The SDGs call for universal social protection. In particular, countries have a responsibility to guarantee at least a basic level of social security--a social protection floor--for all, as part of their social protection systems. While many countries have already achieved universal protection, more efforts are needed to extend coverage and ensure adequate benefits.
