Preface

In rich and poor countries alike, economic security is under threat. Sixty years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirmed that everyone should have access to a standard of living adequate for their health and well-being, “…including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control” (article 25). Yet, despite considerable progress since then at all levels, heightened risks and new threats jeopardize a more secure future and the goal of achieving development for all.
