Economic Growth: The Fundamental Path to the Realization of Social Security Rights for Migrant Workers

The International Labour Organization seems to only see the aspect of social security promoting economic growth, while neglecting the aspect of economic growth supporting social security. From the standpoint of materialism and the practice of social security, the realization of social security rights for migrant workers fundamentally depends on economic growth. The Belt and Road Initiative has provided a Chinese solution for creating a strong material and technological foundation to meet the social security needs of all people, including migrant workers.
