This report is a joint product of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the Government of Georgia and the United Nations Resident Coordinator

Office(UNRCO), in Georgia. 

The report assesses the extent to which the social protection system in the country fulfils its purpose using a lifecycle framework. This report focuses primarily on income transfers as a means of

delivering lifecycle social protection, in line with ILO Convention No. 102 and Recommendation No. 202. To this end, the report seeks to assess each category of social protection that is particularly enshrined in the latter recommendation on minimum standards for social security and addresses lifecycle contingencies, including old-age pensions, disability benefits, survivors’ benefits, cash sickness and maternity benefits, unemployment benefits, employment injury benefits, and family benefits. Specific focus is placed on underlining healthcare benefits.
