PREPARATORY ASIATIC REGIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION NEW DELHI, 1947 Problems of Social Security First Item on the Agenda NEW DELHI International Labour Office JL947 PREFACE The title of this item of the agenda is as vast as the multi tude of problems, social, economic, political, financial and administrative, nationa... more »l and international, that are involved in the realisation of the broadest conception of social secu rity. Nevertheless, it is well chosen as a subject for discussion by a Preparatory Asiatic Regional Conference. Social secu rity, whatever the precise meaning assigned to it, is certainly something greatly desired by peoples everywhere. From a discussion in which every participant can explain his own approach to the subject, it should be possible to distil seine conclusions which specify the problems of social security for practical purposes and recommend a programme of further study and action. The Report prepared by the Office on this item ought clearly to contain a working definition of social security, and for that the pertinent Recommendations of the Philadelphia Session of the International Labour Conference supply the indications. It is also clear that a summary of those Recom mendations and likewise of relevant provisions of the Recom mendations, adopted at the Philadelphia and Paris sessions, on social policy in non-metropolitan territories ought, for convenience, to be included. It is obvious that a survey, in complete though it must be, ought to be given of the present law and practice of social security in the countries concerned thanks to the prompt action of the Chinese and Indian branches, important sources for the survey have been added to those already available in Montreal. It should be added that the Report was communicated in proof to the Governments of Asiatic countries which will be represented at the New Delhi Conference. A mission of officials of the Office also visited several of these coun tries with a view to having the information contained i the draft verified and amplified through discussion with 11 PROBLEMS OF SOCIAL SECURITY local officials, in accordance with a proposal made by the Director-General, and approved by the Governing Body, of the International Labour Office. The observations made by the local officials have been taken into account as far as possible in preparing the Report for publication, and the valuable assistance received from them in making the facts and figures mentioned in the Report accurate and up to date is hereby gratefully acknowledged. It seemed that, for the Office, the reasonable approach to the subject would be to ask, first, whether and how far the main structural principles oi the above-mentioned Recom mendations are applicable to the situation and prospects of the Asiatic countries and constitute a desirable, if distant, objective for them. The alternatives of social insurance and social assistance have been summarily examined. The prob lem of social security for the agricultural classes, who constitute a very large majority of the population of Asia, has been all too briefly considered. Wkile any practical suggestions that the Conference can make must be thoroughly pursued, the conclusion would seem inescapable that, in. the matter of cash benefits, the established techniques of social insurance or social assistance cannot yet, or for a long time to come, be applied to the great mass of small cultivators. On the other hand, the Office does believe that ordered, if slow, progress can be made in the building up of a medical care service for the agricultural population. The remainder of the Report is intended to prepare the v ay for the adoption of a social insurance programme for wage earners, especially in urban areas, and of a medical care programme. Here the Office has ventured to describe the main features of the programme it would recommend...
