Social Protection: Key to Reducing Poverty and Inequality

Social protection is a vital tool for reducing poverty and inequality, ensuring that individuals and families have access to support during challenging times. By providing safety nets such as cash transfers, pensions, and unemployment benefits, social protection strengthens resilience and promotes economic inclusion. It plays a pivotal role in reducing poverty by helping vulnerable communities meet basic needs, while also addressing inequality by creating equal opportunities for all. Investing in social protection systems not only improves lives but also fosters long-term economic growth and social stability. Prioritising social protection for reducing poverty and inequality is essential to building a fairer, more inclusive society where no one is left behind.
