This assessment identifies areas for further strengthening the social protection floor in Armenia, with particular attention to gender equality. It also reiterates the importance of social protection floors to protect people in case of risks across their lifecycles, and as a result of external shocks. The report was produced for UN Women, under the framework of the project “Women’s Economic Empowerment in the South Caucasus”, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC). The ILO provided additional technical support and guidance. The assessment shows that Armenia’s social protection system exhibits many strengths. Notably, the use of a multi-tiered model for old-age, disability, survivors’ and now maternity benefits can serve as an example for other countries with similar economies as they seek to balance multiple policy objectives. However, there are, without doubt, other gaps in Armenia’s SPF, particularly for children and people of working age. The report proposes to close these gaps by focusing on three lifecycle benefits that are either missing or largely inadequate: (1) a full BBP (health package) for all residents of Armenia to ensure universal access to healthcare throughout the lifecycle; (2) a universal child benefit to immediately cover all children aged 0–18 years; and (3) a permanent unemployment scheme to cover a minimally adequate period of unemployment, in line with the minimum standards of ILO Convention No. 102.
