World Social Protection Report is published by -

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — B, International Labour Organization (ILO). The World Social Protection Report is the ILO's flagship report on social security systems worldwide, tracking coverage of benefits such as pensions, child, maternity, unemployment and disability protection. The ILO is the UN's specialized agency for the world of work, headquartered in Geneva.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) The World Bank publishes the World Development Report (and the 'State of Social Safety Nets' report), not the World Social Protection Report, which is an ILO title.  (c) The World Economic Forum publishes the Global Risks Report, Global Gender Gap Report and Global Competitiveness Report — not the World Social Protection Report.  (d) The WHO publishes health titles such as World Health Statistics and the World Health Report; social protection reporting is the ILO's mandate, not the WHO's.

Concept: The International Labour Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 and a UN specialized agency since 1946, is the only UN body with a tripartite structure — governments, employers and workers all take part. Its flagship World Social Protection Report benchmarks how much of the world's population is covered by social-security schemes and pushes the goal of universal social protection.
