Minimum standards of the Convention and national social protection floor. The Government’s report describes the many areas of progress achieved in the implementation, within the framework of the social security system, of a national social protection floor, in accordance with the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 (No. 202). The formulation in 2015 of a preliminary proposal concerning the essential guarantees which could make up the social protection floor has resulted in a process of national dialogue undertaken with ILO support. A study on the budgetary resources necessary to finance the various elements of the social protection floor has been validated in a tripartite context, followed by the preparation of feasibility studies for the progressive implementation of universal health insurance.

With regard to the establishment of basic social security guarantees for all those in need of such protection, the Committee recalls that Convention No. 102 provides for the possibility of their implementation through basic benefits paid to all residents whose means do not exceed certain limits. The Committee requests the Government to specify the extent to which this option is taken into account in the introduction of the various elements that make up the national social protection floor, with an indication of the manner in which the new social protection mechanisms are articulated with the existing social security system. More particularly, with regard to the elements intended to ensure basic income security for persons over 65 years of age (Part IV (old-age benefit)) and basic income security for families with dependent children (part VII (family benefit)), the Committee invites the Government to consider the options envisaged in Articles 27(c) and 41(c) of the Convention, read in conjunction with Article 67.
