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.

The authors1 trace the evolution of the social security concept of capability for work in ‘employment suitable for skills’. This principle emerged at the end of the 1930s during the Fascist period, and it is the foundation for the current Italian law (no. 222 of 1984) relating to social security insured sickness. Having described the concept and its historical evolution, they highlight the developments that have had to take place in the last decade, due to changes in working conditions and the growing economic crisis that has affected all of Europe. They then analyse three cases to confirm that the recent economic crisis in the Italian and European labour markets has had an impact on the medical-legal assessment of a work activity as suitable for the capabilities. A careful examination of the relationship between sickness, disability and capacity for work in other EU and non-EU countries is undertaken to highlight the delicate social and medical issues surrounding job retention and the return of disabled persons to work.
