Reiterates the key principle of poverty prevention in social insurance policies and asserts that any other income redistribution objectives should be explicitly and transparently pursued with instruments financed from broad-based taxes. Financing the proposed protections can be achieved in many countries by reallocating existing expenditures and redeploying resources spent on broad price subsidies; in others, revenues may have to increase. Technological change, one of the global drivers of disruption, also offers opportunities for governments to transition away from, or leapfrog over, prevailing industrial-era policies and to offer more effective risk-sharing to citizens and residents. With more effective national-level insurance assistance in place to help people manage risk and uncertainty, governments would no longer need to rely as heavily on mandated firm-based, employer-provided protections as they have to date. Important lessons for social protection can emerge from universal health coverage (UHC) experiences in many countries, especially those with programs designed for poor people.
