Close social protection gaps to reset equitably after COVID-19

54min | 09/16/2020

Description

This episode is concerned with social protection and its place in the post-COVID reset.

We dissect this into issues of:

· Social protection gaps – how these need fixing to counter the immediate effects of the crisis, as well as to set countries on a more inclusive pattern in the long run;
· Women during the crisis – how they fell through the cracks and what is the place of gender in recovery policies;
· Digital and informal economy – how COVID-19 sped up the discussion on the social protection for such; and
· Universal basic income – is it feasible and/or desirable in this recovery?

The expert today is Monika Queisser, OECD’s Head of Social Policy, and is an expert on pension reform within the organization.

The host is John Crowley, UNESCO's Chief of Research, Policy and Foresight.
