Universal Social Security and the Social Contract

Check out our latest episode of Pathways’ Perspectives: The Podcast featuring Dr. Stephen Kidd, Principal Social Policy Specialist at Development Pathways and Dr. Andrew Fischer, Associate Professor in Social Policy and Development Studies at the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague. Their discussion looks at our latest publication, in partnership with Act Church of Sweden, on social contract and the role of universal social security in building trust in government. They explore universal social security from the lens of post World War II Western Europe and debate whether COVID-19 can serve as a catalyst for universal public services in the Global South.
