Education is the main mechanism for achieving progress in multiple dimensions of social inclusion: greater equality of opportunity, skills for future social mobility, the formation of an active citizenry respectful of rights, familiarity with various cultural codes and access to the labour market with greater options.
In recent years, ECLAC has focused on analysing the role of education in social inclusion, by monitoring gaps, progress and challenges, and looking in particular at levels of schooling (primary and secondary).
One of the main challenges facing the region is continuing to improve …
The Social Development Division’s work on food and nutrition security is underpinned, first, by the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, which enshrines food as a fundamental right and calls upon States to ensure food and nutrition security and, second, by the need to address major inequalities in access to food despite its availability in the region, which severely curtail fulfilment of the right to food and prejudice the nutritional status of the population.
The Division’s work in this area has involved analysing the social, economic and cultural factors…

It has been ratified by 152 Member States of the United Nations. In the regio…
Social protection encompasses policies that are geared towards the exercise of economic, social and cultural rights and towards protecting against uncertainty and risk, on the basis that people’s present and future well-being are affected by, among other factors, illness, difficulties in meeting the care needs of children, persons with disabilities or some sort of fragility, episodes of unemployment or underemployment, and the loss or substantial reduction of income in old age. Without adequate policies, socioeconomic conditions can worsen inequalities, vulnerability and poverty.

The First Summit of the Americas took place in Miami, Florida December 9 to 11, 1994. The meeting produced a Declaration of Principles and a Plan of Action signed by all 34 Heads of State and Government in attendance.
The Heads of State and Government of the Americas, the architects of this new system, decided to meet on a regular basis in order to define the fundamental precepts of the new Hemispheric agenda. This decision to institutionalize the meetings led to the notion of a "Summit process", where experiences are accumulated, a common language is forged and mandates for collective action …
