“…There are also some signs that the crisis may have reinforced discursive shifts, already underway before the crisis, within the international financial institutions (IFIs) towards universal approaches to social protection. Emblematic of this shift is the World Bank’s engagement in the Global Partnership for Universal Social Protection to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (USP2030), its growing interest in universal basic income (UBI) (Gentilini et al, 2020c), and the IMF’s guidance on safeguarding social expenditure (IMF, 2019). The World Bank has spoken of the merits of “universal entitlements to health care and income support” and the need to reach the “missing middle” (Rutkowski, 2020), i.e.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of those who are inadequately covered by social protection in more and less developed countries alike, and has exacerbated the fragility of a social contract that was already under strain in many countries. A weak social contract in the context of an exceptional crisis poses a very real risk to social cohesion. Nevertheless, many States have reasserted themselves as the guarantor of rights by protecting public health and incomes. By sustaining these measures, economic recovery will be supported which will help minimize risks that may weaken social cohesion. However, this is a fast-moving, inherently unstable and protracted crisis. Social protection stands at a critical juncture. Decisive policy action will be required to strengthen social protection systems, including floors, as one of the cornerstones of a reinvigorated social contract.

There are concerns over the present and possible future impact of new advancements like robots and artificial intelligence on welfare. Experts from different fields including science and business have been concentrating on how new developments may affect the job market, and more broadly how new advancements will influence the society. It would be easy to get support for the use of robots for the tasks which are too difficult or too dangerous for humans. What is the capital owners' focus at that point? What are the economic and social consequences of robotization? In this chapter, literature review including the recent thoughts on how developments in robotics may cause major changes in welfare distribution and revolutionary economic changes is presented.

“…Higher coverage can be achieved by implementing social policies that are universal and lead to equal opportunities for all. One example would be the implementation of a universal basic income (Gentilini et al, 2020; Loewe, 2020). Second, from the revenue collection side, broadening the tax base is the most promising avenue.…”

Social protection and revenue collection are often regarded as potential drivers of social cohesion. The article joins this debate, providing three main contributions. First, we carefully discuss the concept of social cohesion and endorse one specific definition. Second, we propose using the concept of the "fiscal contract" as the key theoretical lens to understand the often neglected potential joint effects of social protection and revenue collection policies on social cohesion. Third, we illustrate three main mechanisms through which these policies can have positive or negative impacts on the different components of social cohesion and highlight the relevance of these for policy-makers deliberations.
