The Impact

A leader in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) last year (Marks, 1988) suggested that the uptake of social security benefits among mentally ill people is low. However, this statement was based on the only data the writer could find – a study of 37 patients conducted in Islington based on the old social security system, prior to April 1988 (Linney & Boswell, 1987). Two weeks later, another BMJ leader (Marcovitch, 1988) bemoaned the fact that insufficient research had been conducted on the impact of changes in the social security system.

SUMMARYProposed changes to the Social Security system will affect the financial risk workers will face in their retirement differently across the income distribution. This study examines levels of financial risk workers face at different points in the lifetime earnings distribution. To do so, we use a microsimulation model that projects individual demographic and economic characteristics within the context of the Social Security system and the macroeconomy to assess the impact of two policy changes on the levels of lifetime benefits available to current and future retirees. Further, we incorporate data on pensions and savings to illustrate differences in the level and distribution of retirement funds across the earnings distribution. This exercise allows us to assess the financial risk workers face in their retirement, both within the Social Security system itself and within a broader view of the stream of total available retirement funds. We also use survey data to show that low earners are the least willing to tolerate such risk.

The Social Security System in Indonesia has been regulated by the government, and the program is managed by an agency called Social Insurance Administration Organization (BPJS). Associated with the existence of social security functions for workers, its practice presents a gap between what is expected and what is regulated. For this reason, it is therefore necessary to examine, firstly, what kind of legal protection of workers is covered by this national social security system managed in BPJS program and, secondly, what constraints are encountered in its implementation. This research is Juridical Normative one, with normative qualitative data analysis. The research finds that the social security is correlated not only with the welfare of employees who are assessed by the level of wages provided by the organization, rather it is also correlated with other factors in the form of health and safety assurance. In the broader context, social welfare is measured not only when the person is at work and gets social security benefits, rather the measure of his welfare is also applicable when the worker is not working and/or when they retire. On the basis of these, the social security program is an integral aspect of social security to which the government should give a legal protection.

Introduction:The purpose of the study is to estimate both the number of beneficiaries and the burden of the Disability Insurance (DI) benefits provided for neoplastic diseases (ND) and for five cancer types, focusing on the expenditure by the social security system.Methods:To estimate the current DI benefits and their cost, we analyzed the databases of DI awards and the mean cost per benefit of the Italian National Social Security Institute (INPS) for two types of social security benefits: the disability benefits (DB) for people with reduced work ability and the incapacity pensions (IP) for people without work ability. A probabilistic model with a Monte Carlo simulation was developed in order to estimate the total benefits provided and costs.Results:Between 2009 and 2015, a yearly average was estimated of about 122,000 beneficiaries of DI for cancer. The total estimated expenditure for ND in the seven years, supported and provided by INPS for these social security benefits, amounted to EUR 8.1 billion (corresponding to 27.4 percent of the total expenditure for disability provided by INPS) of which 66.7 percent was associated with DB and the remaining 33.3 percent with IP. The percentage increase related to the costs show that DB have the most significant increase starting from the 2013 with 11.3 percent from 2013 to 2014 and 9.7 percent from 2014 to 2015, while. IP have an increase from 2009 to 2011, with a maximum during 2011, with a percentage difference of 7.6 percent.Conclusions:The incidence and the prevalence of the ND are expected to increase in the coming years in Italy. In order to minimize the consequences of this scenario, rapid access to innovative treatments would reduce the costs borne by the social security system, accompanied by an improvement in the effectiveness of interventions and increase in quality of life for patients.

Abstract According to ILO, 6000 people die of work-related conditions. In Brazil, 4th in the rank of deaths related to work, 1 person day each 4 hours due to fatal accidents related to work (FARW). This study is an attempt to provide an overview on the impact of FARW in the family of the deceased workers. This is an epidemiological study, part of a research, conducted by epiGeo, in the city of Campinas, Brazil, 2015 and 2020, when the families of 73 workers (out of 82) that died of FARW were interviewed. The aim of the interviews was to evaluate the social impacts of FARW in the families, considering pre-determined parameters as follows. Out of 73 families interviewed, 15 (20.83%) of them didn't have access to the national social compensations, due to informality. Although 58 of the workers contributed to the national social security system, only 38 (65.55%) of them had access to social security pensions due to the death of their relatives. Regarding income, 47 families (64.38%) reported impacting decrease in income, and 5 of them (6,8%) reported extreme economical hardship. In the last two years Brazilian national policy regarding work-related rights has been changing greatly. According to the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE), the number of informal jobs had achieved an astonishing record number of 11.7mi workers in 2019, which can have impacts not only on the informalization and precarization of work which will also increase the difficulties to the access to the social security system rights. Further research should be conducted to understand why people are not having access to their social security rights. Health policy makers and health personnel must be aware of the impact on workers health and working conditions, caused by work precarization legislations. The socio-economic impact of work related deaths: the problem of work precarization. Key messages The precarization of work caused by work-related legislative reforms can cause severe impacts on social security access. Families of workers that died of work-related fatal accidents have an important negative impact on income.

The arrival of large numbers of Central and Eastern European migrants to the UK has been met with political and public debate around the perceived impacts on indigenous labour market opportunities coupled with fears about the demands placed on the welfare system. Within this broader migration, the arrival of Roma has triggered particularly prejudicial reactions. However, little is known about how Roma experience the social security system within the UK, particularly within a situation of increasingly conditional rights for European migrants. This chapter begins by highlighting some of the pervasive narratives in relation to Roma that focus on their supposed disproportionate representation within benefits systems and the subsequent responses of Member States to such (mis)representations. Drawing upon interviews with Roma migrants claiming social security benefits in the UK, the chapter then provides insights into how they respond to the conditionality inherent within the UK social security system. The chapter highlights that, contrary to pervasive narratives, claiming benefits appears to be a last resort after multiple job search attempts. Furthermore, welfare conditionality has the potential to lead Roma to disengage with the benefits system altogether and seek informal employment in order to meet their basic needs.

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic has lead North Macedonia into a serious social and economic crisis. The paper discusses the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the formulation of the national social security policy and legal framework, in line with international standards based on human rights treaties. Crucial social security measures in the country particularly give the pressure on health protection, unemployment, family and child support.  The evaluation will focus on the adopted and new policy measures for social security. An important question is does the North Macedonian social security system is well established to protect workers from social risks during a pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some workers who lost jobs might rely on unemployment compensation. So, the focus of this paper is on the challenges of the social security system from large-scale disruptions such as COVID-19.  The paper ends with a summary of the main policy measures and an outlook where further research is needed. It concludes that during and after the pandemic the social security policy will be more important than ever.
