The Social Security Organization (SSO) is a social insurance organization in Iran which provides coverage of wage-earners and salaried workers as well as voluntary coverage of self-employed persons. In 1975, the laws Social Security Law[2] was approved and the SSO was established.[3]
Iran did not legislate in favor of a universal social protection, but in 1996, the Center for Statistics of Iran[4] estimated that more than 73% of the Iranian population was covered by social security.[5] Membership in the social security system is compulsory for all employees.[6]
SSO is a non-governmental organization and it is solely financed by contributions (with the participation of insured (7%), employer (20–23%) and government (3%)).[3][7][8] Social protection is extended to the self-employed workers, who voluntarily contribute between 12% and 18% of income depending on the protection sought.
