Integrating social protection and occupational health services
Human health is shaped by physiological factors and by social, environmental, behavioural, and political conditions. Annually, occupational risks are a major contributor to a significant number of avoidable deaths and disability‐adjusted life‐years. Addressing such determinants requires action beyond the health sector, with increasing recognition of the value of multisectoral approaches to achieving health equity. Social protection and occupation…
Supporting coordinated approaches across health and social protection systems to enhance resilience
The channels through which shocks and stressors affect individual’s health and socioeconomic vulnerability are often similar or closely intertwined. Similarly, the effectiveness of the respective responses of social protection and health systems to shocks and stressors are highly interdependent or mutually reinforcing. The effectiveness of a social protection system response in supporting income security and ensuring continuous access to health a…
The role of mutuals and community‐based insurance in social health protection systems
The institutional architecture for the provision of social health protection varies across countries, as do the actors and organizations involved. In some countries, mutual benefit societies and community‐based health insurance organizations (CBHI) play a role in this area. In the 1990s, these were promoted particularly as a means of extending social security coverage, especially in sub‐Saharan Africa. In the current context, the adoption of the …
Long‐term care in the context of population ageing
With the acceleration of population ageing, healthy ageing is becoming an imperative for all. Social protection systems have an important role to play in this endeavour. Through a life cycle approach, social protection systems can support i) the prevention of disability in old age (i.e. by addressing the social determinants of health and rehabilitation), ii) effective access to long‐term care without hardship for those who need it, and iii) decen…
Universal Health Coverage and Social Health Protection
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Social Health Protection (SHP) are key policy foci that cut across all dimensions of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda. Understanding of these two concepts, their fundamentals and relations would improve health policy development and implementation to attain UHC and effectively protect the health of people and save lives and livelihoods. The COVID‐19 pandemic has provided useful lessons to improve m…
Income security in times of ill health
international interdisciplinary research network. SPARKS' multi-sectoral team characterizes and evaluates the direct and indirect effects of social protection strategies on health, economic, and wider outcomes
Reinvigorating the social contract and strengthening social cohesion
The COVID‐19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of those who are inadequately covered by social protection in more and less developed countries alike, and has exacerbated the fragility of a social contract that was already under strain in many countries. A weak social contract in the context of an exceptional crisis poses a very real risk to social cohesion. Nevertheless, many States have reasserted themselves as the guarantor of rights by pr…
