The ISSA Handbook on the extension of social security to migrant workers shows why national social security systems should extend coverage to migrant workers and their dependents. In addition to meeting people’s basic needs and social protection requirements, there are important advantages for social security systems and society. The portability of social security benefits is addressed throughout this handbook.
