| description |
The portability of social benefits is
gaining importance given the increasing share of individuals
working at least a part of their life outside their home
country. Bilateral social security agreements (BSSAs) are
considered a crucial approach to establishing portability,
but the functionality and effectiveness of these agreements
have not yet been investigated; thus important guidance for
policymakers in migrant-sending and migrant-receiving
countries is missing. To shed light on how BSSAs work in
practice, this document is part of a series providing
information and lessons from studies of portability in four
diverse but comparable migration corridors: Austria-Turkey,
Germany-Turkey, Belgium-Morocco, and France-Morocco. A
summary policy paper draws broader conclusions and offers
overarching policy recommendations. This report looks
specifically into the working of the Austria-Turkey
corridor. Findings suggest that the BSSA between Austria and
Turkey is broadly working well, with no main substantive
issues in the area of pension portability and few minor
substantive issues concerning health care portability and
financing. Process issues around information and automation
of information exchange are recognized and are beginning to
be addressed. |
