social security
Let an agent explain social security and its main forms, relay principles, financing and international standards from ILO, ISSA and academic sources with attribution, describe the national programmes the registry aliases name, and distinguish social security from private insurance, charity and welfare in the pejorative sense, without giving personal benefits advice.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain social security and its main forms, relay principles, financing and international standards from ILO, ISSA and academic sources with attribution, describe the national programmes the registry aliases name, and distinguish social security from private insurance, charity and welfare in the pejorative sense, without giving personal benefits advice.
Government programmes that protect people against loss of income from old age, disability, death of a breadwinner, unemployment, sickness and family needs, through social insurance such as the US Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance and the Canada Pension Plan, social assistance for those in need, funds such as Belarus s Social Protection Fund and Uruguay s pension fund administrators, and state-facilitated savings such as OregonSaves; social security is a human right under international instruments and varies widely by country.
What it is for: Protecting income against life risks.
It can be explain forms and principles; relay financing and standards; describe national programmes; distinguish related concepts.
