User:CircleGirl/Wikiproject Proposal

Description
The project would be dedicated to expanding and improving the quality of topics relating to social security across the world. There may be taskforces or smaller WikiProjects devoted to certain topics. For example, social security in certain countries or historical social security systems.

Scope
The scope this project would cover would be all the types of social security defined by the International Labour Organisation. These are:
 * Survival beyond a prescribed age, to be covered by old age pensions;
 * The loss of support suffered by a widowed person or child as the result of the death of the breadwinner (survivor’s benefit);
 * Responsibility for the maintenance of children (family benefit);
 * The treatment of any morbid condition (including pregnancy), whatever its cause (medical care);
 * A suspension of earnings due to pregnancy and confinement and their consequences (maternity benefit);
 * A suspension of earnings due to an inability to obtain suitable employment for protected persons who are capable of, and available for, work (unemployment benefits);
 * A suspension of earnings due to an incapacity for work resulting from a morbid condition (sickness leave benefit);
 * A permanent or persistent inability to engage in any gainful activity (disability benefits);
 * The costs and losses involved in medical care, sickness leave, invalidity and death of the breadwinner due to an occupational accident or disease (employment injuries)}}
