Abstract

Since the implementation of the ILO Recommendation 202 during 2012, each country has been trying in different ways to fulfill the social protection floors established in the Recommendation. Because of that, this article presents the analysis of each implementation, starting without the beneficiaries results —as is common—, but through the Mexican national legislation analysis of the incorporation about the nine most important principles of the Recommendation, with the objective to identify if the proper compliance allow the establishment of a truly social protection floor for the poorest people, and if this one works as the international instrument determines it. Specifically, through the analysis of the Prospera program.
