Social security is a human right and key to combating hunger, poverty and inequality. Investing in social protection not only provides significant social and fiscal returns; it can also feed into a virtuous cycle of inclusive economic development and stability.

However, this ignores negative international influences on domestic resource mobilization for social investments grounded in our current global economic system, namely the imbalances of the global financing framework, tax injustice and unsustainable debt. This VideoCast centres on the question how these factors influence the right to social protection and what needs to be done to make social protection a reality for all.
