TRANSFORMATION AND INNOVATION: THE POWER OF SOCIAL SECURITY
INSTITUTIONS
Social security institutions in Europe are transforming and innovating to support evolving social
security objectives through delivering accessible, data-driven, pro-active and people-centred social
security benefits and services. By means of good practices and innovative approaches presented in
plenary and parallel sessions, the second day of the Regional Social Security Forum will provide a
unique view on the key factors and institutional initiatives that shape the delivery of social security
in Europe now and in the future.
Parallel sessions will focus on good practices and innovations in different branches of social security,
as well as on cross-branch priorities such as the use of data, digital technologies and Artificial
Intelligence, customer-centric service delivery, financing aspects and good governance.
09:30−11:00 Strengthening social security through institutional transformation and
innovation
Responding to social security policy developments, contextual factors and client
demands for high-quality service delivery requires social security institutions to
be agile and optimize the complementary roles of human resources, digital
technologies, leadership and partnerships. Many social security institutions in
Europe are in the process of developing transformative and innovative strategies
to seize opportunities for strengthening their performance and the positive
impact of social security for the covered population.
This plenary session will discuss these strategies, their effective implementation
and the changing roles of leadership, technology, people and partnerships in a
dynamic environment. A special focus will be on the organizational ingredients
for successful social security and service delivery innovation in the region.

NEW APPROACHES TO PROTECTING AND EMPOWERING PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
A CHANGING LIFE-COURSE
Increasingly flexible career patterns, diverse family models and demographic ageing require social
security systems to adapt to changing needs for protection and support throughout the life course.
More than ever, the essential role of social security to protect people in an adequate and sustainable
manner needs to be complemented by social security measures that promote empowerment, activity
and resilience. The morning of the third day of the Regional Forum will highlight how social security
reforms and measures effectively support these double objectives across the main phases of the life
course.
09:30–10:30 Protecting and empowering families and children
In the context of the overall theme of the morning, this session will present and
discuss social security measures to protect and support families and children,
including recent reforms regarding child benefits and services, paternity
benefits, to combine work and family and respond to an increasing number of
changes in family situations. The session will also highlight social security
initiatives to promote equal opportunities and gender equality.
10:30-11:00 Networking coffee
11:00–12:00 Protecting and empowering workers in a changing world of work
The increasing de-standardization of career patterns, a changing world of work
and an ageing workforce requires social security to be more responsive to
diversity, to increasing needs for support during transitions and the importance
of employability, health and activity. The session will discuss how different
social security branches are adapting to protect and empower workers in a
changing context, and how people-centred and integrated approaches can be
instrumental for promoting activity throughout a longer working live.
12:00-13:00 Adequate and sustainable pensions and services for older persons
Taking into account the impact of changing work patterns on pension adequacy
and financing, increasingly flexible work-to-retirement transitions and unsolved
questions around long-term care services, this session will take stock of recent
reforms and future outlooks for adequate and sustainable pensions and services
for older persons. It will analyse the impact and results of different types of
reforms and discuss the need and opportunities for future adjustments in an
ageing European continent.

the green transition and economic progress in Europe. The focus will hereby be

Dear Mr. Gaetano,
Thank you very much for inviting me to chair and moderate the parallel session on "Addressing gender inequalities and supporting families" at the Social Security Forum for Europe this year. I am deeply honored that you considered me for such a crucial and timely topic.
I was particularly interested in contributing to this session, as addressing gender inequities and supporting families are issues I hold in high regard. However, with regret, I must inform you that I will be unable to participate in the forum this year due to unpostponable social sector continuity ibligations that require my full attention in Estonia during that exact period.
I understand the importance of securing a qualified moderator for this session and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by my absence. I hope that you will find a replacementto hold a productive and insightful session.
I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you in the future.
Thank you again for your kind invitation and understanding.
Sincerely,
Maret Maripuu
Director General
