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 I98O and also includes Greece, given the
entry of this country into the EEC at the beginning of I98I.
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 compar­
isons, reference should be made to special studies ) Therefore details of 0
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 Ho 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. Otherwise, this edition follows the same plan as the pre­
vious one.
For a quantitative comparison of different schönes, reference should be made
to the publications of the Statistical Office of the European Communities. ORGANISATION ORGANIZATION IN BELGIUM
