Social Security and the Informal Economy

This webinar is the second, in a webinar series entitled: “Social Security in the Caribbean: Facing Challenges and Building Resilience”. Workers in the informal economy may be wage earners or self-employed and the extension of social protection to these workers remains challenging for many countries in the region where there is high and increasing rates of informality. In this webinar “Social Security and the Informal Economy” the nuances of this topic in the Caribbean context are explored by our presenters.
