Bridging Social Protection and Occupational Health to Advance Sustainable Development Goals
Résumé
Social protection and occupational safety and health systems both aim to address some of the social and environmental determinants of health for the working population and in particular, occupational health services (OHS) and social protection schemes covering healthcare and employment injury and occupational diseases.
In support of coordinated and holistic approaches, a research project consisting of a scoping review and three country case studies was undertaken as part of the ILO-France Project “Universal Access to Social Protection and Health and Safety at Work” to generate an understanding of existing linkages and coordination mechanisms between national social protection systems and occupational health services, while also highlighting the current gaps in knowledge that need to be filled. This report brings together the findings of the project.
