3.6 Securing incomes: Working Out of Poverty
Societies at all levels of development face the challenge of organizing systems to provide security against contingencies such as sickness, accident, death of the main breadwinner, disability, old age, maternity and unemployment that make individuals, families and communities vulnerable to poverty. Through solidarity and fair burden sharing, social security systems contribute to human security, dignity, equity and social justice. They are also a foundation for political inclusion, empowerment and the development of democracy. Half of the world’s population is excluded from any type of social security protection, with the rate of coverage varying from almost 100 per cent in some industrialized countries to less than 10 per cent in the poorest developing countries.

Free Market Capitalism Is The Worst Economic System
Sir Winston Churchill famously quipped: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." With apologies to Mr. Churchill, I would suggest a modernization of that quote based on today's political/economic environment in the United States.
