Unpaid care work and women's human rights 2013, para. 51
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- In contexts where the majority of the population is not formally employed and does not benefit from contributory social insurance, social assistance schemes such as social transfers are critical to ensure sufficient income for an adequate standard of living, and to purchase the necessary inputs into caregiving. Under human rights law, States parties are obliged to establish non-contributory schemes in order to uphold this right for the most disadvantaged and marginalized groups. For example, social pensions often play a critical role in ensuring that women receive adequate protection in old age (see A/HRC/14/31).
