Social Protection and Labour, World Bank


The mission of the Social Protection sector is to assist World Bank country clients to alleviate poverty and promote equitable and sustainable growth through:

  • Expanding opportunities: helping the creation of good jobs through better labor market regulations, active and passive labor market policies, and wage setting processes
  • Providing security: assisting in better managing risks to reduce vulnerability, securing an asset-base and being able to engage in higher risk/higher return activities
  • Enhancing equity: providing minimum levels of subsistence and helping to correct market-based distributive outcomes.

The website provides access to research topics under the heading of social protection and labour, news and events, and publications and documents.
