| 单词 | social security contributions |
| 释义 | social security contributions Charges levied on individuals or their employers to pay for the costs of social security benefits. The argument for having specific charges for this purpose rather than simply paying for social security through the tax system is the hope that such charges will be less resented than taxes, and that calling the benefits system an insurance scheme will remove any stigma from accepting benefits. There seems little evidence that taxpayers distinguish between the tax and national insurance elements of their overall tax bill, and the rationale of imposing high taxes on the use of labour in the presence of large-scale unemployment is not clear. Social security systems are normally not true insurance schemes: in the UK, for example, national insurance contributions are not sufficient to make the National Insurance system actuarially solvent. |
