Filipino workers have a
strong need for social security.
The structural adjustment measures
which must be undertaken to catch up with other
economies tend to make workers more vulnerable to
socio-economic problems.
The paper identifies
several measures undertaken by government to improve the
existing social security system in the country.
Among these are: compliance with ILO Conventions on social security, the
adoption of international standards on the coverage of
social security protection, and the initiation of
bilateral agreements on the protection of Filipino workers
abroad.
The
study concludes that social security is an area which
deserves continuous attention from both government and the
private sector.
