4 billion people lack coverage to social protection amid planetary crises. @gabrielekohler proposes solutions: abolishing fuel subsidies, debt rescheduling, progressive taxation, and international collaboration to fund a more equitable global safety net. journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful…

The strategy launch has started a very important conversation about how Jordan will move ahead with an inclusive and comprehensive approach to providing financial security, and social and health care to older persons!

The second panel featured a lively discussion about how best to support older persons, especially through health and social services. The importance of quick healthcare, care homes, and proper communication of programmes were key concerns.

@JustKIDDing_DP also shares the benefits of universal pensions through experiences from other countries, not only raising standards of living for older persons but also for their families, especially young children. #SocialProtection #OldAgePensions

Ram Kumar Phuyal, Member-National Planning Commission, Govt. of Nepal shares how Nepal introduced a tax-financed universal pension for its older citizens, reducing the age from 75 to 68 over the years. #Pensions #UniversalSocialProtection #Nepal

How do you ensure financial security for older persons? Dr. Mohammad Al Tarawneh, Social Security Corporation Director General, and Ms. Khitam Shnikat, National Aid Fund Director General, discuss the government programmes in Jordan that support the elderly and their families.
