The right to social security of the workers in the informal economy/ sector
groups. There are existing efforts on developing and enhancing the programs of SSS on
the system of the temporary need of workers as well as risk protection programs,
however, taking into consideration the pandemic, it becomes now an urgent matter to
institutionalize not only the financial assistance programs but the social security
protection programs which are both non-contributory and targeted social assistance
schemes) for the displaced formal and informal working sectors.
a. Establish and implement the social protection floor framework to ensure that
there is a nationally defined set of basic social security guarantees which secure
protection aimed at preventing or alleviating poverty, vulnerability, and social
exclusion.
2. Consider the “Guidelines concerning a statistical definition of informal employment”
endorsed during the 17th ICLS in adopting a definition and indicators of employment
in the informal sector and informal employment to provide more clarity on the complex
issue of generating statistics and to be more inclusive.
a. Ensure that the PSA periodically updates the registry of the employment in the
informal sector and informal employment to deliver timely, responsive, and
appropriate social protection services.
3. Review the minimum wage prescribed by the NWPC as well as the existing poverty
and food threshold, taking into account the vulnerability and risks factors of the
individual and/or families, especially the geographical characteristics of the country.
This is to capture the real situation on the ground and identify the actual minimum level
of income deemed adequate to meet the basic food and non-food requirements.
4. Develop a non-contributory social security scheme, other than for health care, to
provide benefits in the event of the social risks and contingencies mentioned in the
normative contents i.e. old age, unemployment, disability, among others. This scheme
should include part-time workers, casual workers, seasonal workers, and the selfemployed, and those working in atypical forms of work in the informal economy.
Benefits should be provided to cover periods of loss of earnings by persons who are
requested not to report for work during public health or other emergencies.
5. Intensify the information drive by ensuring that the information shared to the public is
within the level of their understanding and the language used is the one that the locality
speaks. The message must likewise reflect the importance and value of social security
