factors that influence whether non-public actors have a role in the organization of a social security system
at what level involvement of non-public actors takes place;
prevailing views on, and experiences of, their roles;
the impact of their roles (or lack thereof) on the system, in terms of distribution of responsibilities, participation of the insured and covered persons, and access to benefits;
who pays for the scheme;
who decides to whom the scheme applies; and
who takes decisions on benefits in individual cases.
The ten country chapters are bookended by introductory and concluding essays that assess such underlying issues as transparency, the goals of the various interest groups, distribution of tasks, issues of democracy, and the degree of control by public bodies. In the last chapter a framework emerges that is helpful for explaining some of the developments noted in the country reports, and that should also prove useful for countries when considering changes in their own systems. The study clearly reveals problems that occur in social security administrations and choices countries can make in realizing their social security objectives.
