Correct answer: (c) International Labour Organization
Explanation
- A
World Bank
Option (a) claims the World Bank publishes the World Social Protection Report. The World Bank primarily focuses on global development loans and poverty reduction rather than this specific labor publication. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
- B
World Health Organization
Option (b) attributes the report to the World Health Organization. While WHO deals with international public health data, social protection and labor standards fall outside its core publishing mandate. Hence, this choice is incorrect.
- C
International Labour Organization
Option (c) states that the World Social Protection Report is published by the International Labour Organization. The International Labour Organization (ILO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that regularly releases this flagship report to monitor the extension of social security globally, assess social protection policies, and provide comprehensive data on global coverage gaps and financing.
- D
World Economics Forum
Option (d) names the World Economics Forum as the publisher. The WEF is known for the Global Competitiveness Report and Davos meetings, not the World Social Protection Report. Thus, this option is incorrect.
Summary. Official key is (c) International Labour Organization. The World Social Protection Report is a flagship publication released periodically by the International Labour Organization. It provides a global overview of recent trends in social protection policies, coverage, and expenditures. Candidates often confuse this labor-focused publication with reports issued by the World Bank or WHO. Only option (c) correctly identifies the mandated international organization.
