There is no lasting peace without social justice, and there can be no social justice without social protection such as healthcare, unemployment and disability insurance and retirement care as well.

Today, nearly 80 percent of population lives without such social welfare system.

A the 28th International Social Security Association General Assembly, also known as the most influential world social security organization, is being held in Beijing in mid-September. Today, we are going to explore the theme of the forum--securing social justice.

Join today in this dialogue are Dalmer D. Hoskins, Secretary General of the International Social Security Association and Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics, from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences.
