Clinic 7 - Linking - and transitioning between - non-contributory and contributory SP for informal workers and beyond
This thematic clinic will provide an opportunity to discuss issues around the centrality of links between non-contributory (social assistance) and contributory (social insurance) elements of social protection systems, including on:
facilitating transitions between different schemes,
designing and implementing contributory schemes that provide for subsidized contributions or exemptions for those with low incomes,
measures to promote solidarity and risk-sharing and avoid fragmentation and exclusion,
broader policies and strategies that promote the extension of social security coverage to those in the informal economy; and
ensuring a gender-responsive and disability-inclusive approach.
'Clinic' sessions are an opportunity for participants to ask practical, technical questions on various topics that have been very relevant to the COVID social protection response. These will either be answered 'live' or via a subsequent written discussion forum. The sessions will be staffed and moderated by designated 'resource people' on that topic, but answers can and should be provided by peers as well: we are all experts and can all learn from each other's country experiences.
Designated resource people: Laura Alfers, WIEGO and SPACE Ludovico Carraro, OPM and SPACE Nuno Cunha, ILO Bangkok Jasmina Papa, ILO Moscow Luca Pellerano, ILO Beirut
Moderators: Christina Behrendt, ILO Quynh Anh Nguyen, ILO
