Description

To support the implementation of the ASEAN Declaration on strengthening social protection the ILO Regional Office in Bangkok has developed a two-tiered strategy: 1) Support the development of a common social protection denominator in all ASEAN Member States, by: a. providing recommendations for the progressive development of social protection in all countries, building national social protection strategies; b. providing comments and inputs to social security laws and ensuring that these facilitate access to social protection for all uncovered groups, including migrant workers; c. supporting the design and implementation of social protection schemes, to ensure that all Member States guarantee at least a minimum level of social protection to their citizens, residents, documented and non-documented migrant workers. This common denominator will contribute to the progressive harmonisation of the levels of development in social protection and avoid “free riding” strategies among migrants (e.g. trying to use most advanced social protection services without contributing to their financing). 2) Support specific protection for migrant workers (both documented and non-documented) by: a. documenting all social protection systems in ASEAN countries; b. ensuring that social security laws are non-discriminatory for migrant workers; c. ensuring that procedures and tools are in place to guarantee access to the benefits in the country of destination, and that bilateral agreements are established between social security institutions to facilitate portability of benefits across countries. The present project will focus on the first part of this strategy, and aims at supporting the development of a common social protection denominator in all ASEAN Member States by conducting three complementary actions: - Design of social security schemes and social protection floor components - Implementation through SWS and IT systems - Documentation, research, training, awareness raising, education
