Venezuela Joins Agreement on Workers’ Social Rights

Venezuela has officially ratified the Multilateral Ibero-American Social Security Convention, which aims to protect workers employed in several countries across the region. President Delcy Rodríguez signed the document, and the authorities said the country had met all the necessary constitutional and legal requirements. Adopted in 2007 at the Ibero-American Summit in Santiago, the convention provides for coordination between social security systems. This will allow workers to count the years of service and contributions accumulated in different countries when applying for pensions and other benefits.
