Social Security: A New Consensus

At its 89th Session in June 2001 the International Labour Conference held, as one of the main items on its agenda, a general discussion on social security. The Committee on Social Security attracted a high level of interest among delegates, with as many as 111 Government members, 59 Employer members and 79 Worker members, and also numerous advisers and observers. This volume contains the committee’s conclusions, large extracts from the report of the Committee’s discussions, and the whole of the report which was prepared as a basis for the Committee’s discussions.
