The introduction of welfare in poor countries as a factor of world stability

If one of the world problems is stability, not only that between states understood as international relations, but also that between populations, it is necessary to act on the deep imbalances present due to the increase in inequalities. This phenomenon does not only concern poor countries, where it is naturally exacerbated by contingent circumstances, but also the richer ones, highlighting a transversality of the phenomenon on a world level. It seems obvious that, in addition to the repercussions within individual national borders, the impact of poverty and inequality, which is recorded internationally, affects purely economic aspects, such as the production, distribution and consumption of goods up to general problem of migration, which many political problems continue to generate on a global level. World data on social protection say that more than half of the total population of the Earth does not have any form of protection related to health care, protection for new disabilities or services for the family and economic support for integration or replacement. insufficient income. All these supports could be a decisive factor precisely against poverty and inequality, also in consideration of the fact that, according to the International Labor Organization, an agency of the United Nations, only 45% of the world population benefits from some form of welfare benefits and of this 45% only 29% have complete forms of social tools. If the global figure for the payment of income in the form of a pension is about 60%, the situation that occurs in countries where the average income is lower and pension insurance concerns only 20% of people. If old age appears poorly protected, even childhood does not offer adequate aid: in fact, the percentage of countries that declare they have some form of assistance for children is below 60% of all nations and with significant differences between rich countries from poor ones. This scenario was aggravated by the pandemic, certainly exacerbating the most critical situations, but even in the most developed countries the unexpected event was too much of a surprise to quickly develop social countermeasures capable of providing answers to mitigate the economic effects. and health care of the crisis. According to United Nations estimates, the sum necessary for developing countries to ensure health services supplemented by a sort of minimum income is around 1,200 billion euros, a percentage that is around 4% of the gross domestic product of these. countries and representing an unsustainable financial commitment from underdeveloped economies. This situation of necessity, however, does not represent a contingent emergency due to the pandemic, but is an aggravation of situations already present, due, in addition to the recurring crises, also to the failure to comply with the commitments made by the international community and, therefore, by the rich countries, to provide concrete aid to developing countries. The lack of respect for these formal commitments, which were both political and juridical, places the rich countries in a serious defect as well as a moral and practical one, when it is highlighted the inability to manage migratory phenomena, not only those caused by wars or famines, but also and above all about the refusal of so-called economic migrants. In fact, if the conflicts and also the famines provide for another type of commitment, which, moreover, should be due and sought assiduously and not only functional to particular interests, the mitigation of the factors that determine the economic migratory flows, could be carried out. effectively in such a way as to at least reduce the number of people forced to leave their country due to poverty, with targeted and coordinated interventions that allow the development of economic activities capable of ensuring the livelihood of the populations. Social support is an integral and essential part of these aids because it allows greater independence of the productive age groups and constitutes a direct or indirect integration of income, which can free up human resources and also generate job opportunities to be placed in the total balance of employees. Coordination must start from international organizations, but rich states must provide for an adequate contribution, which must be considered an investment in their own stability.
