Social protection and old age poverty 2010, para. 86
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Participation should be understood in a broad sense. It should include not only beneficiaries, but also civil society organizations that can play a role in advocating for the rights of older persons. Indeed, participatory processes are important to mobilize public understanding of and support for the establishment of social pensions schemes grounded on the recognition of the universal right to social security. In particular, public participation in budget exercises can ensure that public resources are devoted to expanding social security, in particular to the most vulnerable.
