Resolution, Conclusions and report of the Committee for the Recurrent
Discussion on the strategic objective of social protection (social security) were
adopted at the 100th session of the International Labour Conference, Geneva
June 2011.
Other ILO publications related to this:

Social security for social justice and a fair globalization. Recurrent discussion on
social protection (social security) under the ILO Declaration on Social Justice
for a Fair Globalization, 2011(Geneva, International Labour Office, 2011).
The Governing Body of the ILO has decided that the 101th Session of the
International Labour Conference in 2012 should discuss the possible
Recommendation as a follow-up to the discussion in 2011. If adopted, this
Recommendation would provide a non-binding guideline to member States on
the implementation of national Social Protection Floors as means to reduce
poverty and promote sustainable economic and social development.
The ILO was assigned as the Secretariat of the SPG Advisory group, lead by Mrs.
Bachelet and has been actively involved in the preparatory work for the Report
entitled “Social protection floor for a fair and inclusive globalization”. Two
versions were published: an advance copy for the G20 (launch in Paris in
September) and a second version launched in New York in October. The
Geneva launch of the report was on 8 November. Both versions were
translated

subsequently endorsed at the preliminary meeting in South Africa. During the
meeting in Indonesia with the ‘Asian G20 countries’, Indonesia committed
itself to push the SPF concept within ASEAN (of which Indonesia currently
has the presidency) and include the SPF in the Indonesia Jobs Pact. A UNDPILO paper was prepared for the G20.

A costing tool and a simplified rapid assessment
protocol (RAP - developed by the ILO in close
collaboration with UNICEF) were used and a Rapid
SPF Assessments and Assessment Based National
Dialogue (ABND) was or is being conducted.
The costing tools enable to evaluate the cost of
steps that could be taken to close coverage gaps.
They allow to simulate alternative financing options
(i.e. fiscal space analysis).
The ABND involves a procedure to assess the state
of national Social Protection Floor Policies and
identify coverage gaps building on national tripartite
consultations : the methodology/TORs for ABNDs
were finalized in July 2010.
The general framework of the ABND methodology
was adapted to each country’s needs and context
with varying degrees of modifications.
