Likewise, the country managed to position itself in 2023 as the one with the lowest inequality index (Gini 0.39) in Latin America.\n\n\n

The document proposes three strategic axes to consolidate and expand these achievements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Expand and strengthen the social protection system towards a universal, comprehensive, sustainable, and resilient model.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promote active employment and labor inclusion policies, with special attention to young people, women, and informal workers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Strengthen social institutions, advancing towards a Framework Law for Social Protection and better intersectoral articulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nThe director of Sup\u00e9rate, Gloria Reyes, highlighted that this report \"constitutes a key tool for decision-making in social policy, as it reflects the evolution of the Dominican system and points out the social investment opportunities needed to continue reducing poverty and inequality gaps.\"\n\nFor his part, President Abinader thanked ECLAC for its technical support and reaffirmed his government's commitment to strengthening the social protection system, which he defined as an essential pillar of human development, economic inclusion, and social mobility in the Dominican Republic.\n\nThe dialogue is framed within the High-Level Seminar \"Strengthening the social protection system and labor inclusion in the Dominican Republic\", jointly organized by ECLAC, Sup\u00e9rate, the Ministry of Labor and German cooperation (GIZ\/BMZ), with the support of the United Nations System.\n\n\n

    This joint effort seeks to lay the foundations for a new social protection model that guarantees greater opportunities, reduces structural inequalities, and promotes inclusive and sustainable development for all Dominicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
