Social Security Expenditures in Turkey and OECD Countries

Abstract

After the Second World War, social security services became an important issue and institutionalized through the social security systems suggested by Bismark and Beveridge together with the accelaration of social welfare state understanding. Especially in 1980ies and 1990ies, as a result of the financial crisis and concerns about the future, most countries started to overview their systems. Lots of matters such as rising the age of retirement, redesigning and increasing the premium rates, decreasing the retirement payments by means of various methods and finding new financial sources for the system started to be discussed. Similar problems also emerged in Turkey, and necessary importance couldn’t be given to system due to instabilities experienced in political and economic matters. The deficits resulting from social security payments became a burden on budget. In the study, the place of national social security expenditures in budget sizes in the post-2000 period has been tried to be explained comparatively While the share of social security expenditures in GDP was the highest in Turkey with 11,7%, the OECD average was 21.7% It is a fact that our social security system has pending problems.
