This booklet provides a rapid comparison of social security schemes in the
different Member States by means of descriptive tables.
It describes the situation at 1 July I984 and covers all schemes applicable
to employees in Industry and Commerce. In certain countries these schemes
apply to all employees and sometimes even to the whole population.
The booklet does not claim to provide full details but does constitute a
source of rapid information which allows the reader to compare easily the
essentials of one country's legislation with another's. (For detailed
comparisions, reference should be made to special studies.) Therefore details
of each regulation are not given, neither are national terminologies closely
copied, to avoid an apparent plethora of purely formal differences.
The definition of social security corresponds to ILO Convention No 102 and
thus includes the risks covered by it. These different risks are each the
subject of a series of tables. The first two series give details of the or­
ganization and the financing methods used, countries being classified by
alphabetical order.
For a quantitative comparison of different schemes, reference should be made
to the publications on the subject (such as "Medium term projection of Social
Expenditure and its financing" and "Social Protection Statistics")
and to the studies carried out by the Commission. ORGANIZATION ORGANIZATION IK BELGIUM
