Òṣèlú aláwùjọ is a political ideology that considers itself to be a form of reformist democratic socialism.[1] Social democracy argues that all citizens should be legally entitled to certain social rights. These are made up of universal access to public services such as: education, health care, workers' compensation, and other services including child care and care for the elderly.[2] Social democracy is connected with the trade union labour movement and supports collective bargaining rights for workers.[3] Contemporary social democracy advocates freedom from discrimination based on differences of: ability/disability, age, social class, ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, and sexual orientation.[4] Most social democratic parties are affiliated with the Socialist International.[5]
