Worldwide Benefit & Employment Guidelines
Countries all over the world are grappling with the crisis of an ageing workforce that is placing increasing strains on their social security systems. Employers are already anticipating higher social security costs – and data over the last three years shows the beginning of an upward trend. Before employers can design current benefits programmes that attract and retain the right workforce, they must understand the local minimum statutory requirements for social security payments.
Different countries have widely differing statutory social security programmes, with significant differences in the portion of expense borne by employers and employees. Over the last three years, new legislation in many countries has changed both the relative amounts and the absolute amounts due from employers and employees. As employers design total rewards programmes that account for both pay and benefits, they need to stay on top of social security payments as an essential part of the mix.

This report presents the differences and similarities in social security contributions.
