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.

Resumen<br /><br />El riesgo de dependencia, que concierne a las personas mayores y discapacitadas, despierta un interés creciente entre los responsables políticos y se constatan unos avances significativos en esta materia: adecuación de los instrumentos de financiación, modernización de los centros y de los servicios de ayuda domiciliaria, mejora de la integración de estas personas, etc. Pero, el incremento de las necesidades cuando la generación de los baby-boomers llegará a una edad avanzada plantea la cuestión de la sostenibilidad del gasto, del impacto sobre las familias que supone la atención de una persona dependiente así como la de los medios específicos que es preciso movilizar para las personas que padecen la enfermedad de Alzheimer. El debate en torno al “quinto riesgo” gira sobre su naturaleza con respecto a los demás riesgos cubiertos por la Seguridad social, la población concernida, la parte que incumbe al público, a los hogares y a los seguros en la financiación. Ante esta situación, existen dos posibilidades en cuanto a la financiación de la dependencia: la primera caracterizada por el mantenimiento de una parte mayoritaria de la solidaridad colectiva, mientras que la segunda privilegia la solicitación del seguro privado y del seguro de previsión.<br /><br />Abstract<br /><br />The risk of dependency, which concerns the major and disabled persons, generates an increasing interest between the politicians and a few significant advances are observed in this matter: adequacy of the instruments of financing, modernization of the centers and services of domiciliary help, improvement of the integration of these persons, etc. But, the increase of the needs when the generation of the baby-boomers will come to an advanced age raises the question of the sustainability of the expense, the impact on the families that the attention of one dependent person supposes as well as the specific means that is precise to mobilize for the persons who suffer Alzheimer's disease. The debate concerning the "fifth risk" turns on his nature comparing with other risks covered by the social security, the concerned population, part that is incumbent on public, to the families and to the insurances in the financing. In front of this situation, two possibilities exist for the financing of the dependency: the first one characterized by the maintenance of a majority part of the collective solidarity, whereas the second one favours the solicitation of the private insurance and the insurance of forecast.

Regional Interests

The article is devoted to the development of a social security model in the region, representing a comprehensive vision of various aspects of interaction between man and society on the way to preserve social security. The aim of the study is an attempt to synthesize the provisions of various scientific and socio-philosophical concepts of social security with the provisions of regional studies into a single systemic model of social security in the region. The implementation of this goal is carried out by the authors using a methodology based on a civilizational approach, which asserts the uniqueness of each of the regions, a systematic approach that reveals the social system of a region as a multi-core phenomenon in which various social levels are distinguished; a structuralist approach, which proves that social conditions for safe life depend on the development and organization of the social environment; semiotic approach aimed at analyzing the region as a spatial, locally distinguished social system formed around a complex of regional values; an instrumental approach that pays attention to the impact of mechanisms leading to the regional interests’ mobilization. The novelty of the presented research is associated with a model development of social security of the region based on the principle of complementarity of philosophical concepts of social security and the provisions of regional studies. The result of the study is a statement of the impossibility of covering this phenomenon in models developed in individual sciences that form scattered images of the social security of the region, but do not cover the entirety of this phenomenon. The second result of the study is the formation of a social security model of the region, which allows taking into account civilizational, systemic, structural, value, instrumentally constructed parameters. The third result is the proof of the possibility of building a social security system based on values, the mobilization of which takes place within the framework of a dialogue between external and intra-regional social discourses

The research uses a comparative analysis framework to interpret the multiple commodification processes for the working poor, which consists of research tropisms from a macro-sight system and from the internal mechanism and proceeding course of the social security system. Based on this framework, the authors try to establish an ideal type with a universal explanatory power to reveal the impact of cross-national diversity on social security systems in the decommodification process among poor female workers. The research also examines the extent to which such differences ever existed between Belgium and China in empirical terms.

AbstractThis paper aims to analyze the effect on measured inequality and its structure of using administrative data instead of survey data. Different analyses are carried out based on the Spanish Survey on Income and Living Conditions (ECV) that continued to ask households for their income despite assigning their income data as provided by the Tax Agency and the Social Security Administration. Our main finding is that the largest discrepancies between administrative and survey data are in the tails of the distribution. In addition to that, there are clear differences in the level and structure of inequality across data sources. These differences matter, and our results should be a wake-up call to interpret the results based on only one source of income data with caution.

Court Of Appeal

In the 1997 case of Ruka v Department of Social Welfare, the Court of Appeal altered the test for determining whether a relationship was "in the nature of marriage" for the purposes of the Social Security Act 1964. In this article, the author analyses the impact of the decision on Department of Work and Incomes practice and on the subsequent decisions of the Social Security Appeal Authority. The author questions whether either Department or Appeal Authority has significantly altered their policy in light of the test adopted by the majority in Ruka. In light of its practical application, the author then critically accesses the test in Ruka and concludes that the general approach favoured by previous decisions of the High Court, and apparently continued by the Department subsequent to Ruka, is preferable.

Transparency And Accountability

The Covid-19 pandemic and its countermeasures have brought pressures on social and welfare assistance. Along with this, come the challenges of information being dispersed and complex, susceptible to distortions, and a society with distinct capacities for assimilation and analysis. This paper aims to present the experience of the Covid-Prev Observatory as a tool for transparency and accountability in the public management of social security in times of pandemic. This experience with the social observatory has encompassed the choice of themes and variables to be disseminated and analyzed, the visual planning and dissemination strategy, and the discussion of the observatory's role and potential. Thus, a multidisciplinary team has developed a project aiming to analyze the impact of Covid-19 on the Brazilian Social Security System, from different perspectives, both with the reproduction of data and information, and for the elaboration of analyses: impacts of the pandemic on the labor market and its effects on the evolution of social security revenues and expenses, effects of the pandemic on vulnerable groups, sustainability of pension funds, impacts on the financial market, among others. This information was first disclosed on the Blogger platform, and then on an electronic website whose disclosure was made both on the social networks of the research participants themselves and on the social networks of entities interested in the topic, such as the Brazilian Association of State and Municipal Pension Institutions (ABIPEM). In its short period of existence, the observatory has obtained more than 10 thousand accesses, either from Brazil and other countries. The observatory has presented data and analyses in a simple way, based on scattered information with different levels of complexity. In these analyses, the aim has been to establish relationships between facts correlated to social security and welfare. Thus, it is understood that the observatory has collaborated as a transparency and accountability tool with respect to the theme of social security in Brazil, serving as a discussion of the challenges and potentialities of social observatories.

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.
