This work aims to contribute to the debate on progress towards achieving universal social protection in Latin America. It advocates a strategy emphasizing policies oriented towards obtaining full formal employment and consolidating protective labor regulations in conjunction with other policies, especially in the social realm, so that together, these ensure universal access to basic social services of the same quality for everyone and adequate income throughout the entire life cycle.

Keywords : Latin America; social protection; social policy; quality basic services; income levels.
