Enoff and Mckinnon (2011) has emphasized that improved and reliable social security contribution collection and compliance are key factors in ensuring the financial sustainability of social security schemes which, in turn, have a direct impact on the effective administration and reliable delivery of adequate benefits. These outcomes support the political legitimacy of social security as a societal institution and enhance further extension of social protection to those with no or inadequate protection. As the ILO has stressed that ‘public confidence in social security systems is a key factor for their success’ and made possible through good governance is essential’ (ILO, 2001). This leads us to our sixth reason. For the administrators of all …show more content…

This owes to the many differences in the design of social security programmes, in the percentage of the national population covered by a given social security system and in the collection methods used (Enoff and Mckinnon, 2011). According to the World Bank (2012), contribution collection in centralized pension system is more complicated based on individual accounts than in a public system. World Bank (2012) indicated that a number of European countries have moved towards unified systems. For instance, Sweden share this trend of centralization, Despite the trend towards centralization found in most of these nations, much of the literature acknowledges also that the processes used for the collection of contributions, in practice, remain as varied as the programme design of the various social security schemes existent throughout the world: between conventional centralized and decentralized systems of contribution collection ‘there is a spectrum of options’ (Rofman and Demarco, …show more content…

Although centralizing contribution collection seems to provide some economy of scale and holds important potential to better coordinate and audit record-keeping activities, the likelihood of achieving sought-after improvements in organizational performance will be increased by taking into account also this broader range of factors. Another key policy decision is whether contributions should be collected by a clearing house or it should be decentralized to individual employers. If it is centralized, then consideration has to be given as to whether contribution collection should be unified with other levies on

The social security is a costing system and it occupies a big proportion in the government spending. In Barbara R. Bergmann’s article “Could Social Security Go Broke?,” she deems that there is enough fund in the social security system and the government can easily transfer the tax income from current employees and firms that employ these employees to the social security to support retirees’ lives. This point of view only can be considered as assumption, but not for the real world. After the finacial crisis in 2008, a large number of employees were laid off during that time and some employees decided to retire early, which results the labor force in American has shrunk. In the meantime, the presence of effective technology products,

1.What are some of the tensions inherent in balancing social control and social treatment functions of social policy today? Social welfare policies and programs humanistically liberate and enhance the well being of many individuals. At the same time, these aiding policies posit chaos and limitations on the lives of those who seek them due to underlying economic and political agendas. Hence, creating tensions including but not limited to antithetical views on how resources should be distributed (essentially, a power imbalance), contradictions regarding an individual’s right to a free and autonomous life, negative stigmas towards individuals who need assistance and discrimination.

How did it win acceptance? Beginning in 1939, workers could retired at age 65 and get a payment every month ranging from $10-$85 based on their contributions to the fund. They started paying an unemployment tax to provide benefits to workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own. “Social Security squared with America 's historical individualism because it was neither structured as a welfare program nor sold to the public as such.

Freidman believed economic freedom to be an essential need in securing political freedom. Any manipulation on a person’s economic freedom such as a tax for social security takes away from a person’s total freedom. To provide total freedom to the people coercion must not exist (Friedman, 1975). It is economic power that can balance political power. When the market is left alone under the invisible hand it balances out both what the seller and consumer desire.

The Christian Science Monitor, a newspaper, stated, “‘Between the steady, dependable, competent worker and the irregular, unreliable and incompetent one, the burden of taxes and benefits is disproportionately in favor of the later....’” (“Social Security Act Is Viewed As Jobs Diminisher” 1935). The benefits are in favor of the incompetent workers because of the taxes being imposed on the competent workers. The victims of the taxes imposed by the federal government were irate, yet they had little say in changing the Act.

Financial security is an aspiration for all families, wanting to secure their lives and not have to worry about the monetary aspects of the world. To have an economic safeguard, such as the Social Security Act, is crucial if someone is unable to work due to illness, age, sudden unemployment or when a provider passes away in order to provide some sort of income in times of need. This demand for insurance truly established itself sometime in the Industrial Revolution, as the United States began to become more forward thinking. However, it did not come to pass due to the short life expectancy in the 1800’s, around thirty-eight years old, and the lack of elderly individuals. As time went on, heading into the 1900’s, life expectancy began to rise and thus, the need for social security followed suit.

As a society we need to accept that it is up to our generation to fix this issue. Reforming Social Security will benefit everyone living in the U.S. in the long run. Restoring Social Security to its once former glory is a necessity to benefit our further generations and to create a better future for the next generation of workers. In order to accomplish this lofty goal I propose that we increase the payroll tax cap to boost Social Security’s funding and reduce benefits for the higher income earners who do not need Social Security as much as others do. The majority of Social Security’s income originates from the Social Security payroll tax.

Every piece of policy has been implemented due to varying social concerns, this is not different for the BC’s CFCSA and Sweden’s SSA. These two pieces of policy act as guidelines for society's concern or “social problem” that not all parents/guardians/caregivers know how to properly bring up children and what happens when parents do not meet the guidelines that the government has given. One of the reasons why these pieces of policy has been so that they can enforce a minimum standard for how children should be raised, to help keep children out of the way of harm or from developing in an unfavorable direction (CFCSA, 1996, s. 1; Social Services Act, 2001, p. 9). When examining any form of policy, it is important to understand how the policy
