The ISSA Country Profiles include information on national social security programmes that insure individuals against interruption or loss of earnings resulting from old age, disability or survivorship; sickness and maternity; work injury or occupational disease; unemployment; and child rearing. Most of the information in the Country Profiles is collected through surveys carried out by the ISSA in co-operation with the U.S. Social Security Administration.
