📢 Support the Social Care Sector – Sign the Petition to Exempt Providers from the Employer National Insurance Increase! 📢 At Ategi, we’re deeply concerned about the impact of the employer National Insurance contribution (NIC) increase on social care providers. This additional financial strain will affect an already stretched sector, facing longstanding funding and staffing challenges. Social care providers deliver critical support to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, and this increase threatens their ability to maintain vital services. That’s why we’re urging the government to exempt all social care providers from this rise in costs. Stand with us – add your name to the petition and help safeguard the essential services so many rely on. 🔗 https://bit.ly/48IFAn0 Together, we can make a difference. Your support can help ensure the sustainability of quality social care. #SocialCare #SupportSocialCare #Petition

🔒 ℹ️ Why is Social Protection Essential for Home-Based Workers? Social protection provides a safety net that helps workers manage risks and shocks. For home-based workers, access to social protection means having health insurance, maternity leave, pension schemes, and unemployment benefits. It ensures they can maintain their livelihood during difficult times and lead a life of dignity. 🤰🏻🏥✊🏾 ➕ Lean more at: https://loom.ly/x5Geb9o

https://lnkd.in/gQnGSguP The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a new report that estimates the benefit payment schedule of the Social Security program, saying that the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund will “decline to zero” in fiscal year 2034 and the Disability Insurance (DI) Trust Fund will do the same in 2064. This is generally consistent with prior forecasts, but other exhaustion timelines in recent years have floated between 2034 and 2035. CBO added that “starting in a decade, Social Security’s revenues will not be sufficient to cover all of the benefits that are due under current law,” according to the report. CBO offers two prescriptions for extending the payment timeline in its forecast. One would increase the Social Security payroll tax “immediately and permanently” by 35% — from the current rate of 12.4% of taxable earnings up to 16.7%. The other would reduce benefits by 24%.

🇩🇪 In Germany, the social protection system is guided by the Social Security Code IV, which recognises the independence in employment of self-employed professionals. While they are not covered by mandatory social insurance, there are exceptions. Unemployment benefits are optional, minimum resources are guaranteed through taxation. 🏥 The self-employed can choose their health insurance, financed through personal contributions and work-based schemes. Maternity and paternity benefits follow the health and sickness schemes. Disability benefits for the self-employed are provided through a work-based insurance with two main branches. Old age and survivors' benefits vary among different self-employed categories, leading to a fragmented system. 🤝Despite its effectiveness, the voluntary elements often render benefits unaffordable, diminishing workers' rights and placing a burden on public policies. The intricate collective representation for self-employed professionals adds to the complexity of the system. #SP4SE #Socialprotection #Socialdialogue Confprofessioni UNAPL The European Council of the Liberal Professions (CEPLIS) Eurocadres

Completed the course "What is Social Protection: an introduction" with socialprotection.org The course gave me a beautiful insight to social protection, the instruments of social protection (social insurance, social assistance services, tax-funded social benefits, public work programmes, other schemes guaranteeing basic income security and access to essential services), the approaches to social protection (social policy and developmental approach) and the relationship of social protection with other policy sectors. #SPKnowledge #socialprotection
