The extent to which Libyan workers abroad are entitled to social security benefits

According to Social Security Law No. (13) of 1980

Abstract

The right to social security in accordance with the Libyan Social Security Law No. 13 of 1980 is characterized by coverage of all members of society as guaranteed, and even includes foreigners residing on the land of Libya. The Libyan Constitution issued in 2011 expresses the right of all citizens to social security, as Article (8) stipulates: "The State guarantees equal opportunities and works to provide a standard of living, the right to work, education, health care and social security for every citizen..." Libyan workers abroad, as Libyans, are supposed to enjoy the right to social security like other citizens, but the reality and applied in the Social Security Fund is that no action has been taken, which makes Libyan workers abroad outside the social security umbrella.
