Submitted by fabbri on

.elfinanciero (04.07.2018) Si la nueva administración de Andrés Manuel López Obrador no aprovecha su mayoría en las dos Cámaras para aprobar una nueva Ley de Pensiones, en 32 años México tendrá más de 10 millones de personas de 65 años y más en condición de pobreza, 154 por ciento más respecto a los 3.9 millones reportados en 2016, según un estudio de la Asociación Mexicana de Instituciones de Seguros (AMIS) y la Asociación Mexicana de Administradoras de Fondos para el Retiro (Amafore).

New Deal For Irish Families

Submitted by fabbri on

Social Europe (10.07.2018)  With the repeal of the 8th amendment Irish women and their partners will have a choice if and when to have children later this year. This choice will have major implications for social policy and the development of a family-friendly welfare state in Ireland. From my own experience Irish people are extremely child-friendly but Ireland as a country offers little support to families. It will be the first time that women will make these choices on this island, so services and income protection will have to be attractive for families.

ILO (July 2018) This paper reviews proposals for a Universal Basic Income (UBI) in light of ILO
