The dreaded "solidario"!

La experiencia de América Latina muestra que los sistemas de reparto son regresivos y poco solidarios. Contrario a lo que algunos sectores proponen de fortalecer o volver al sistema de reparto para tener mayor solidaridad en el sistema de pensiones, la experiencia es muy clara para mostrar que estos sistemas han sido regresivos y poco solidarios.

Any bright ideas, please?

Thanks

socially inclusive

Needs to worki n all permutations of the text:

poco solidarios : not particularly or not very socially inclusive (vs. co-ordinated)

para tener mayor solidaridad : to betoken (a) greater (level of) social inclusiveness vs. fairness.

I doubt retaining the notion of shoulder-to-shoulder solidarity (apart from the Polish Trade Union) will mean anything to an English-speaking reader, especially in a Latin American context with such well-chronicled disparities of wealth.

Compare and contrast a Co-ordinated Pension with a technical meaning: co-ordination or 'Integration' is a term used in public sector pension schemes to indicate that the potential benefits payable under the Social Welfare system are *taken into account in the occupational pension scheme*.
Example sentence:

solidario English translation: charitable causes/social/socially responsible, humane, community-oriented Entered by: Comunican (!)

This rigorous study sheds light on these issues. It assesses the extent to which six European multi-pillar pension regimes are socially inclusive, by micro-simulating retirement income for hypothetical citizens facing typical post-industrial risks.

Thanks, Barbara. Well-chronicled : cut to Che Guevara's 'Otra Vez' Motorbike Diaries for a start.

Thanks and gracias, Elizabeth.
agree Stephanie Ament : From a technical standpoint I'd agree with Marcelo. The issue is whether or to what degree it will have meaning for the reader. The age-old dilemma of bringing the reader to the author, vice versa, or finding a middle ground.

A belated thanks, Stephanie. As a native English speaker, I associate 'solidarity' with the embryonic Polish Trade Union movement born out of the shipyards of Gdansk / Danzig.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks everyone for your help with this. I had already pencilled in "socially supportive" (similar to Simone's suggestion) as a starting point but now think "socially inclusive" works better, especially as a lot of the document talks about marginalised groups missing out. Your help much appreciated."

supportive

In this context, I usually see examples of laws being "supportive" of individuals' plights. We even talk about "support" services.
