Social security system will be strengthened with reforms

The financial sustainability of the social security system will be strengthened by implementing regulations that encourage employees to remain employed and prioritize equity and actuarial balance.

In this regard, joint studies will be carried out between the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, the Strategy and Budget Directorate and the Social Security Institution (SGK) within the scope of determining reform areas.

The monthly pension system will be rearranged in a way that will encourage people to remain employed and will not impose a financial burden. Work will be carried out on monthly bonding systems that will encourage employees to remain employed for longer periods of time.

The compatibility of social security practices with flexible working models, especially part-time work, will be increased. Studies will be carried out to increase the compliance of flexible working models such as short-time working, working from home and hybrid working with the social security system.

Special social insurance programs will be created for groups such as low-income tradesmen, artisans, farmers and seasonal workers. Work will be carried out to develop micro insurance programs for groups that are not currently covered.

Care insurance and vocational rehabilitation practices will be implemented to reduce the effects of population aging on the social security system. In this context, care insurance will be established to finance elderly care services.

Employers will be able to access all work and transactions carried out by SSI on a single platform. Work will be completed to expand the scope of the easy employer application.

In order to make the social security system simple and effective, employment incentives will be reviewed and the quality of service delivery will be increased.
