Social security rights
Social security rights are the protections and benefits provided by government programs to support individuals in retirement, during illness, or upon losing a job. These rights ensure people receive financial aid or services such as retirement pensions, disability benefits, and survivor benefits, based on their contributions through work. They are designed to provide economic security and reduce poverty for vulnerable populations. In most countries, social security programs are funded by payroll taxes paid by employees, employers, and sometimes self-employed individuals. These rights are legally protected, ensuring eligible individuals can access the support they need during life’s inevitable challenges.
