Description

Created in 1945, the Social Security “is the guarantee given to everyone that in all circumstances he will have the necessary means to ensure his subsistence and that of his family in decent conditions” (explanatory statement of the Ordinance of 4 October 1945 establishing the Social Security). It is based on the principle of solidarity guaranteeing everyone financial protection against the hazards of life.Social security includes health insurance, compensation for accidents at work and occupational diseases, pensions and family benefits. To these four branches are added the recovery of social contributions and contributions and the management of treasury.Social security is based on principles of universality and unity while being managed by different basic schemes: the general scheme for employees and inactive persons, the schemes for employees and farmers managed by the Central Fund for Agricultural Social Mutuality (CCMSA) and the social scheme for self-employed persons (RSI), which covers craftsmen, traders and, for sickness risk, the liberal professions. Other schemes, specific to certain professions, complement this architecture (officials, SNCF, RATP, electrical and gas industries, etc.). The general scheme alone accounts for about three quarters of the costs of all basic schemes.The financing of the Social Security is provided by the social contributions paid by employers and employees, by the general social contribution (CSG), as well as by various contributions and taxes.This dataset, by presenting the main figures on social security, allows a better understanding of the challenges it faces, and to better understand its evolution.
