29-Jan-14, The Irrawaddy
Burmese workers registered under the country’s social security scheme will begin seeing the benefits of more generous social protections from April of this year, according to the program’s director general.
Yu Lwin Aung, who heads the national Social Security Board, said implementation of the revamped Social Security Law, which was passed by Parliament in 2012, would begin in April, though full realization of the legislation’s promised benefits would be rolled out gradually.
