El sistema de seguridad social costarricense es considerado a nivel internacional como uno de los sistemas más exitosos y eficientes de Latinoamérica. Inició con el seguro social a los trabajadores del sector público y se ha ido consolidando hasta convertirse en uno de los sistemas públicos más comprehensivos en el abordaje de la salud, y de los de mayor universalización tanto en el nivel financiero como poblacional. Sin embargo, en la actualidad su principal reto es la sostenibilidad del sistema para mantener y ampliar cobertura; la ruta propuesta consiste en renovar y fortalecer los principios de equidad, solidaridad y universalidad; incorporar nuevos principios de transparencia, sostenibilidad y participación que se sumen al esfuerzo de construcción de un sueño histórico y alcanzar la cobertura universal.

The article explores the issues of implementing public-private partnership projects in the social security system of the Kursk region. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that public-private partnership is becoming an increasingly popular way of solving the problems of the development of a socially significant sphere in the conditions of a shortage of budget resources, where it is impossible to fulfill the set goals without attracting investments and the potential of the institution of entrepreneurship. In Russia, the relevance of public-private partnership in the social sphere is due to the low level of its development in terms of applying advanced management methods. This sector, which for many decades was the object of direct government, is experiencing today the greatest need for various resources for the implementation of the set tasks of socio-economic development. The article presents theoretical, methodological and practical approaches to reflecting the development of public-private partnership in the social security system of the region. The system of indicators that characterizes the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the social sphere of the region is analyzed. In the course of the study, specifics of the implementation of public-private partnership projects at the regional level were revealed. The analysis of the dynamics of key indicators of the social security development in the region was carried out. With the financial capacity of the public sector reduced and the private sector has the potential to effectively implement innovative technologies to solve socially important tasks to modernize the social services infrastructure aimed at improving the quality and accessibility of socially important services, it requires a combination of opportunities and efforts of the public and private sectors. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the main indicators of investment projects of public-private partnerships, suggests approaches to increase the efficiency of implementation of these projects in the Kursk region.

En los últimos años, la lucha jurídico-social contra las desigualdades y/o las discriminaciones por razón de sexo no se juega sólo en el ámbito de las relaciones de trabajo, también en el de la protección social. Junto al movimiento a favor de la erradicación de la “brecha salarial”, ha surgido y se está desarrollando el que busca la corrección de las “brechas de género en protección social”. Las brechas de género en protección social son más difíciles de resolver que las brechas jurídico-laborales, porque además de depender del éxito de la solución de estas, exigen otras decisiones de tipo institucional, a fin de compensar las desigualdades no sólo de derecho sino de hecho, tanto en el mercado de trabajo como en la distribución sexista del trabajo de cuidar. El sistema español de seguridad social viene haciendo notables esfuerzos en tiempos recientes para reducir las brechas de género en pensiones públicas, y en otras ramas de protección del sistema de seguridad social. Sin embargo, los resultados no han tenido aún el éxito necesario para que la corrección resulte suficiente. De ahí la necesidad de ir más allá, tanto por parte del legislador como de los propios tribunales de justicia, a través de la interpretación con perspectiva de género en materia de seguridad social In recent years, the legal-social struggle against inequalities and / or discrimination based on sex is also played out in social security relations, not only in labor relations. Together with the movement in favor of the elimination of the "gender wage gap", another parallel is being developed aimed at reducing the "gender gaps in social protection". Gender gaps in social protection are more difficult to solve than legal-labor gaps. First, because the gaps in social protection derive from gender gaps in the labor market. Second, because, in addition, they require other decisions of an institutional nature, to compensate inequalities not only in law but in fact, both in the labor market and in the sexist distribution of reproductive work. The Spanish social security system is making notable efforts to reduce the gender gaps in public pensions, and in other branches of social security system protection. However, the results have not yet been successful enough for the correction to be sufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to advance faster and faster in gender equality in terms of social protection. A task that mainly concerns the legislator, but also the courts of justice, through interpretation with a gender perspective on social security

The General Health Social Security System plays a double function in terms of healthcare and formation of its human talent. A historical relationship exists globally between healthcare systems and systems of higher education in health. In Colombia, this relationship has been regulated by the ministries of National Education and Health and Social Protection, not without articulation difficulties. In fact, any situation that affects the healthcare system will necessarily affect the quality of the formation of its human talent in the sector. The country began, with Legislation 100 of 1993, a healthcare insurance model seeking to accomplish universal coverage. Currently, over 90% of the population has some form of insurance and due to pressure from the Constitutional Court the two main regimes have the same benefits plan, although with different values of the capitation payment unit (CPU). Although it has been recognized that the vulnerable population now has more access to healthcare services and that currently a quality assurance system is in place, it is also true that unacceptable inequities exist according to the people’s payment capacity; we have lost the vision of public health, which must organize the system as a whole and there is no effective intervention of the healthcare social determinants.

The Face

Having been seriously hit by the financial crisis, Greece was forced to implement reforms in the public social security system, aiming at securing the future financing of social policy measures, at reducing the public expenses through cuts of benefits, and at saving administrative costs by rationalising the management of social policy institutions. In the last years of the financial crisis a general reform took place aiming at stabilising the social security system. Given the cuts experienced by big parts of the population, several applications of annulment were brought before the Council of State. The jurisprudence of the court shows a gradual shifting: in the years 2012–2014 it upheld the constitutionality of the imposed measures, which were viewed as part of the general framework aiming to curb the public deficit. But in 2015 the ruling, in the face of the cumulative force of reductions on people’s income, was that the legislator must not only preserve a subsistence minimum but a decent standard of living for the citizens. Essentially, it was a signal that while the reduction of the public deficit remained mandatory, it was high time that the legislation sought other alternatives than minimising the welfare state.

The study aims to identify the reality of retirement salaries for the 1,200,000 insured employees at the social security network in Jordan, out of a total workforce of about 5,926,580, which means that 20% of the total number of employees is included in the social security system. The study aimed to make a comparison between the retirement salaries level and the cost of living level of the Jordanian family, which amounted to (854) JDs per month based on the spending and wages average at the Jordanian General Statistics Department, while the retirement salaries rate paid to the retirees of government and private sectors amounted to (494) JDs per month for the public sector and also (494) JDs per month for the family of private sector.The study viewed the retirement salaries rates according to the various economical activities for the years (2015/2016) and the results showed that average retirement salaries for those eligible social security participants (493) JDs per month, while the average beneficiaries who currently receive retirements salaries is about (576) JDs per month and their number about (193,763) thousand citizens. The study was also shocking as it turns out that retirement salary for the beneficiaries who receive retirement salaries now between (178) and (576) JDs, which means that many of the low beneficiaries segments and after (20) years of continuous service their retirement salaries don't reach the government-set poverty line of (339) JDs per month, and all salaries of participants who haven't reached the retirement age and the beneficiaries, the retirement salaries of 100% of them will not reach the sufficiency line or the average cost of living for the Jordanian family of (854) JDs per month. Study recommends the establishment of a higher wage council made up of economists, jurists, financial people, and representatives from the public and private sector, and the army, military, and security institutions to establish a fair wage system.

Abstract Indonesia’s National Social Security System (SJSN) aspires to universal coverage of insurance for health, retirement, and occupational benefits, such as employment injury. This article surveys the successive layers of policy development since the 1960s, in pensions and health benefits for some, and in social assistance programmes for the poor in the Reformasi era. Clarifying the nature of prior developments helps to understand the challenges facing the SJSN. These initiatives are assessed in terms of the literature on welfare regimes, applied as an interpretative tool, rather than in the expectation Indonesia fits the often-rigid categories of welfare typologies.
