As the number of migrants continues to rise worldwide, policy makers face a multitude of challenges in adapting social protection programmes to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population. This article explores the relationship between migration and social protection, highlighting key issues and trends that have emerged in recent years. It examines the impact of migration on social security systems in both sending and receiving countries and reports on the ways in which migration patterns can create both opportunities and challenges for these systems. The article provides an overview of social protection measures and gaps in selected countries and considers the need for policy makers to take account of the unique needs and circumstances of migrant populations. The article also explores the role of international cooperation in addressing the social protection challenges and opportunities posed by migration. It considers some of the emerging trends and innovations to support the governance of social protection schemes that may help to address some of the legal and practical challenges faced by migrant workers and social security institutions. The article highlights the importance of understanding the complex relationship between migration and social protection to develop policies and programmes that are responsive to the needs of all members of society, regardless of their country of origin or immigration status. It also underlines the importance of quality administration and good governance for the effective implementation of social protection measures. In support of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, a call is made for continued dialogue and collaboration among policy makers and stakeholders to ensure that social security systems are equitable, effective, inclusive, and sustainable in an increasingly globalized world.</p><p>La migration est un phénomène complexe qui revêt des implications considérables pour l’accès des travailleurs migrants à la protection sociale et pour les systèmes de sécurité sociale, à la fois dans les pays d’origine et d’accueil.

It examines formal providers of social protection, including state institutions, development agencies and humanitarian organizations. In recent years, there has been an increase in funding from multilateral donors, especially in the context of the COVID–19 pandemic, leading to the establishment of national assistance programmes in LMICs that also encompass refugees and to a lesser extent migrant workers. International agencies play a crucial role in providing humanitarian cash assistance to refugees, given their status under international protection under the 1951 Refugee Convention and related protocols. Access to social insurance remains tied to formal employment. Social insurance entitlements for migrants are often restricted and refugees are typically excluded from formal employment in LMICs. Regarding labour market interventions, refugees and migrants are often excluded from national programmes, with migrants’ residence permits being often tied to employment. For refugees, international agencies take a prominent role in providing livelihood programmes aimed at enhancing income-generating opportunities, economic inclusion and financial independence. However, the effectiveness of these interventions remains unclear, lacking rigorous evidence, and often being short-term with limited coverage.</p><p>Cet article examine les pratiques actuelles en matière de fourniture de protection sociale aux réfugiés et aux migrants, en se concentrant principalement sur les pays d’accueil à faible et moyen revenu. Il s’intéresse aux prestataires officiels de protection sociale, notamment les institutions publiques, les agences de développement et les organisations humanitaires. Ces dernières années ont vu une hausse du financement venant de donateurs multilatéraux, en particulier lors de la pandémie de COVID-19, permettant ainsi l’élaboration de programmes nationaux d’assistance dans les pays à faible et moyen revenu qui s’appliquent également aux réfugiés et, dans une moindre mesure, aux travailleurs migrants. Les organismes internationaux jouent un rôle essentiel dans la fourniture d’une assistance humanitaire en espèces aux réfugiés, compte tenu de leur statut de protection internationale, conformément à la Convention de 1951 relative au statut des réfugiés et aux protocoles y afférents. L’accès à l’assurance sociale demeure lié à l’emploi formel. Les droits à l’assurance sociale sont souvent restreints pour les migrants, et les réfugiés sont généralement exclus de l’emploi formel dans les pays à faible et moyen revenu. En matière d’interventions sur le marché du travail, les réfugiés et les migrants sont régulièrement mis à l’écart des programmes nationaux, tandis que les permis de séjour des migrants sont souvent conditionnés au fait d’avoir un emploi.

The UNCRC is the most widely ratified human rights treaty to date. However, millions of children continue to be denied their rights and face poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion, merely because they are displaced – internally or across borders. Children bear the heaviest burden of displacement, despite not being responsible for its triggers. This reality underlines that a significant population is being “left behind”, threatening progress to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of international efforts to end poverty and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity. This article advocates for inclusive social protection systems for displaced children by highlighting the difficulties they encounter, emphasizing the potential benefits of social protection, and assessing the current status of inclusive social protection for this vulnerable group. Drawing on emerging lessons from UNICEF’s experience across several refugee and internal displacement contexts, such as Brazil, Ethiopia, Slovakia, and Türkiye, the article also offers recommendations to strengthen inclusive social protection systems specifically tailored to meet the humanitarian and development needs of displaced children.</p><p>La Convention des Nations Unies relative aux droits de l’enfant (CNUDE) énonce les droits de chaque enfant, à savoir le droit de bénéficier de la sécurité sociale et le droit à un niveau de vie suffisant pour permettre son développement physique, mental, spirituel, moral et social. La CNUDE est le traité relatif aux droits de l’homme le plus largement ratifié à ce jour. Toutefois, des millions d’enfants continuent d’être privés de leurs droits et subissent la pauvreté, la vulnérabilité et l’exclusion sociale simplement parce qu’ils sont déplacés – à l’intérieur de leur pays ou au-delà des frontières. Bien qu’étrangers aux causes de ces déplacements, les enfants en paient le plus lourd tribut. Cette réalité révèle qu’une large partie de la population est «laissée pour compte», mettant en péril les progrès accomplis pour atteindre les objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies dans le cadre des efforts internationaux qui visent à éradiquer la pauvreté, et à faire en sorte que tous les êtres humains vivent dans la paix et la prospérité. Cet article plaide en faveur de systèmes inclusifs de protection sociale pour les enfants déplacés en mettant en évidence les difficultés qu’ils rencontrent, en soulignant les bénéfices potentiels de la protection sociale et en évaluant la situation actuelle de la protection sociale pour ce groupe vulnérable.

Our approach to their coverage is based on the pillars of public health and social protection, which together provide the rationale and legislative basis for coverage. The social protection benefits to be covered are comprehensive health services, providing entitlement to services without conditions such as prior contributions or duration of residence. Refugees are vulnerable since they come from conflict areas or go through persecution and personal threat. They carry grief from the loss of family members and friends, property and livelihood, and social and cultural support. Some have sustained injuries before rescue and evacuation and need additional care. They may have chronic diseases and need medications they can no longer access. Some may have communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis, and children may have missed scheduled mandatory vaccinations. Refugees are vulnerable to new and re-emerging infections, as seen in the COVID–19 pandemic. While the focus in this article is on providing health care, the social determinants of health are addressed, including access to education, employment with decent working conditions, and safe environments. We focus on coverage by national authorities and institutions, legislative amendments to enable entitlement to non-citizens, and provide national examples. Experience has shown that coverage is feasible with the assistance and guidance of international and local organizations and associations and with an acceptance by the existing social protection institutions of the benefits of extending coverage to new members. This article concurs with the principle and pledge of the 2030 Social Development Goals of the United Nations to “leave no one behind”.</p><p>Cet article sur l’extension de la couverture de la protection sociale se concentre sur les réfugiés, tels que définis par le Haut-Commissariat des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés.

Les prestations de protection sociale visées sont un ensemble de services de santé complets dont l’accès est garanti sans conditions; il s’agit, par exemple, du versement de cotisations préalables ou d’une durée de séjour requise. Les réfugiés sont des personnes vulnérables qui fuient des zones de guerre ou font l’objet de persécutions et de menaces personnelles. En plus d’être affligés par la perte de membres de leur famille et d’amis, ils se retrouvent privés de leurs biens, de leurs moyens de subsistance, et de leurs repères sociaux et culturels.

While there are some indications of new momentum for reforms, we find that reforms to address gaps in legal social protection coverage have historically been hindered by the very design of the migration system, including the assumed short-term migration time frame and over reliance on employer-sponsored provisions, as well as the political economy in the region, which translates into a segmented labour market and associated social protection entitlements for national and migrant workers, and limited channels for migrant worker representation. Despite some new mechanisms being developed, labour dispute and judicial systems are often ineffective in protecting workers and their families when benefits are not paid. Bureaucratic, financial, language, documentation and geographic barriers constitute further obstacles to migrant workers’ access to social protection in practice. The article closes with key policy implications, including measures for: developing comprehensive legal provisions in line with international standards and principles as well as the commitments to leave no one behind and to ensure social protection for all in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; addressing practical barriers, power imbalances and outreach, monitoring and enforcement gaps; and strengthening dialogue and collaboration between all actors, including GCC and country of origin governments, employers, workers, and wider stakeholders advocating for migrant workers’ rights.</p><p>Cet article explore les facteurs qui influencent l’extension de la protection sociale aux travailleurs migrants dans la région du Conseil de coopération des États arabes du Golfe (CCG). Bien qu’un nouvel élan en faveur des réformes semble se dessiner, nous estimons que celles visant à combler les lacunes dans la couverture légale de protection sociale ont toujours été entravées par la conception même du système migratoire, à savoir la courte durée supposée de la migration et le recours excessif aux dispositions offertes par les employeurs. Par ailleurs, l’économie politique de la région se traduit par un marché du travail segmenté, avec des droits à la protection sociale différents pour les travailleurs nationaux et les travailleurs migrants, ainsi qu’une représentation limitée des travailleurs migrants. En dépit des quelques nouveaux mécanismes mis en place, les systèmes judiciaires et de règlement des différends au travail échouent souvent à protéger les travailleurs et leurs familles lorsque les prestations ne sont pas versées.
