The Relationship

Background: Thailand has a large flow of migrants from neighbouring countries; however, the relationship between economic status at the provincial level and the insured status of migrants is still vague. This study aimed to examine the association between provincial economy and the coverage of the Social Security Scheme (SSS) for migrants. Methods: Time-series data were analysed. The units of analysis were 77 provinces during 2015–2018. Data were obtained from the Social Security Office (SSO). Spatiotemporal regression (Spatial Durbin model (SDM)) was applied. Results: Migrant workers were mostly concentrated in Greater Bangkok, the capital city and areas surrounding it, but SSS coverage was less than 50%. However, the ratio of insured migrants to all migrants seemed to have positive relationship with the provincial economy in SDM. The ratio of insured migrants to all migrants was enlarged in all regions outside Greater Bangkok with statistical significance. Conclusions: Low enforcement on employment law in some areas, particularly Greater Bangkok, can result in lesser SSS coverage. The provincial economic prosperity did not guarantee large SSS coverage. Interventions to ensure strict insurance enrolment are required.

Resumen: La obligatoria integración y cotización de los funcionarios de la UE en un régimen de seguridad social propio, netamente comunitario, al margen de la competencia estatal y no afectado por el Reglamento de coordinación en seguridad social, les libera de sufragar las prestaciones de seguridad social de su país. El TJUE rechaza que un Estado miembro pueda imponer al funcionario de la UE, con domicilio fiscal en este país, la obligación de pagar ciertos impuestos que gravan sus rentas inmobiliarias, cuando van destinados a financiar determinadas prestaciones de la seguridad social nacional, de lo que se deduce que para el TJUE todo recurso que contribuye a la seguridad social, sea cual sea su naturaleza jurídica, es considerado en sentido amplio “cotización de seguridad social”.Palabras clave: Libre circulación de trabajadores, seguridad social, funcionarios de la Unión Europea, tributos, cotización.Abstract: The officials of the European Union are compulsorily affiliated and subject to the contributions of the social security scheme of the EU institutions. Such scheme lies outside the jurisdiction of the Member States and it is unaffected by the Regulation on the coordination of social security systems. In consequence, the officials of the European Union are exempted from defraying the national social security benefits. In this way, the imposition from a Member State to the official, whose domicile for tax purposes is in that country, to pay some contributions and social levies in respect of income from real estate, is rejected by the CJEU when they are allocated for the funding of the social security scheme of that same Member State. It follows that every source used to pay social security is broadly considered by the Court of Justice as a “social security contribution”, in spite of its legal nature.Keywords: Free movement of workers, social security, officials of the European Union, taxes, social security contribution.

Household Dietary Diversity

Social protection in the form of cash transfer is emerging as a policy objective to solve the problem of poverty and food insecurity in developing countries. However, the extent to which this is feasible is yet to be empirically examined. This study was therefore carried out to assess the effect of the Ekiti State Social Security Scheme (ESSSS) on the dietary diversity of beneficiary households in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study employed a three-stage random sampling technique to collect data from 200 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) in terciles and the Poisson Maximum Likelihood Estimator were the main analytical tools employed for the study. The result of the Poisson maximum likelihood estimator at p ? 0.05 showed that access to the Ekiti State Social Security Scheme (ESSSS), years of education and total monthly income were found to significantly influence household dietary diversity. The study concluded that the Ekiti State Social Security Scheme (ESSSS) has a positive effect on household dietary diversity of beneficiaries. It was recommended that the government should endeavour to increase the number of beneficiaries of the programme and organize nutrition-oriented programmes for the elderly people to improve the food substitution knowledge of the households.

This article is about social security, which, in turn, is a subset of social policy. ‘Social policy’ is a term that is applied to many areas of policy, usually within a governmental or political setting (such as social services). This article critically evaluates the proposed Consolidated National Social Security Bill for Lesotho. It examines the general background to the proposed national social security scheme; the legislative framework for the proposed scheme; the governance and institutional framework of the scheme as well as the establishment of insurance funds and the financing sources of various funds. The evaluation is undertaken through the lens of social security perspectives and policy considerations.
