The Americas Social Security Report 2010

In this occasion the Americas Social Security Report 2010 deals with the relation between economic cycles and social insurance and aims to provide a view of some of the main issues that have arisen with the global crisis since mid-2008. This report analyzes outstanding issues such as the limits of unemployment insurance and the lack of it in many countries, the challenges faced by financially weakened national governments to face the problem of lack of coverage, and the structural deficiencies of pension systems that have been stressed by the fall in asset prices brought about by the economic downturn.
