Social security leaders to consider impact of crisis on European social model
МАСО, 21.02.10 | Press release
Strategies to secure the future of the European “social model” in view of the combined impact of the economic crisis and profound demographic changes in the region will be analysed by social security leaders, policy-makers and experts during the first Regional Social Security Forum for Europe, in Warsaw, Poland, 3-5 March 2010.

The three-day Forum will consider how the financial crisis has impacted the  labour market and its consequences for social protection systems in Europe, and  will hear how social security institutions are adopting innovative policy  responses to cope with unprecedented new challenges.

Participants will also debate how the profound demographic changes in the  region will affect the future of pension and health-care systems, and the  central role of good governance in responding effectively to a rapidly-changing  environment. Over 250 representatives of social security ministries and agencies  from over 25 European countries are expected at the event.

The Regional Social Security Forum is organized by the International Social  Security Association (ISSA) and is hosted by the Social Insurance Institution  (ZUS), Poland.

 

Developments and trends of social security in Europe

A new report prepared by the ISSA on developments and trends in social  security in the Europe region, Dynamic Social Security for Europe: Choice and  Responsibility , has been published for the Forum. The report recognizes the  increasingly complex environment facing social security administrators, and  highlights their proactive role in minimizing the social impacts of the economic  crisis. It warns, however, that important adjustments will be required to  maintain current levels of benefits and services. The report will be released on  2 March 2010 and will be available on the ISSA Website ( www.issa.int) and on the ZUS Website  ( www.zus.pl/issa).

 

The ISSA Good Practice Award

The results of the first Good Practice Award for Europe will be announced  during a ceremony on 3 March 2010, to recognize outstanding performance and  innovation in the administration and operations of social security. The ISSA  Good Practice Award programme is organized on a regional basis over a three-year  cycle, and the competition for Europe attracted 32 entries from 16 countries  representing 19 organizations.
