In the light of our current PerfectCity poll it is time to focus on another factor. When we are talking about “Social security” we mean protection against socially recognized conditions, including poverty, old age, disability, unemployment and others – including public insurances, pensions and child allowances.

To support this issue we would like to present an interesting report from ISSA to you. The ISSA, International Social Security Association, is an international organization bringing together government departments, social security administrations and agencies. The ISSA membership is composed of institutions and bodies administering social security in most countries of the world, including all forms of compulsory social protection which, by virtue of national law or practice, are an integral part of national social security systems. Founded in 1927, the ISSA has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

The report is called Developments and Trends - Supporting Dynamic Social Security and was written by a team of social security specialists and practitioners. The report is citing significant national and international developments and examines recent trends in social security policies and practices.

The report underlines the need for policy responses that contribute to accessible and sustainable social protection systems and seeks to inform the international debate in this evolving policy field.
