In this episode, we explore the issue of the social protection needs for older informal workers. In the context of a growing aging population also in the developing world, the debates around schemes to guarantee access to these informal workers to healthcare and to income security has become increasingly important. To help us understand more about the fundamental concepts, debates and trends around the social protection for older informal workers, in particular in SouthEast Asia, we invited Aura Sevilla. Aura is a specialist and an advocate on issues related to dignifying aging policies in SouthEast Asia and in the Phillipines, in particular, where she is based. She's currently an affiliated at WIEGO as the Programme Consultant in Southeast Asia and Older Workers. *Our theme music is Focus from AA Aalto (Creative Commons) **** References WIEGO page on Income Security for Older Workers https://www.wiego.org/income-security-older-workers Conference Presentation by Francie Lund https://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/resources/files/Francie%20Lund%20Growing%20Older%20in%20the%20Changing%20World%20of%20Work.pdf ILO Recommendation 202 (Social Protection Floors) https://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:12100:0::NO::P12100_ILO_CODE:R202
