Résumé

As women are highly represented among informal economy workers - especially in poorer segments, in worse conditions or at lower or no wages - they most especially would benefit from social protection.
This paper seeks to present possible strategies for ILO's in extending social protection to women and men in the informal economy in the Philippines through gender-responsive health micro-insurance schemes.
