Although all countries offer some kind of social protection or security, in most countries, coverage is severely limited and targeted at specific groups. As a result, only a small minority of the global population has full, legally guaranteed access to existing social-protection schemes – leaving roughly 5.6 billion people worldwide vulnerable to various degrees.
尽管所有国家都提供某些种类的社会保障，但在大部分国家，覆盖率相当有限，且只面对特定群体。结果，全球人口只有很小一部分能获得完全的、受法律保障的社会保障机制——56亿人或多或少地存在脆弱性。
