In a world grappling with growing economic disparities, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has launched a working paper titled <em>Combating Inequalities: What Role for Universal Social Protection?</em> The publication, released in late 2024, was unveiled at an expert panel event featuring representatives from the ILO, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD). The discussion centered on the critical role of universal social protection in mitigating income inequality, financing strategies, and the broader structural causes of disparities.
