The traditional pay-as-you-go system was transformed into a three-pillar system through the introduction of compulsory and voluntary fully funded pillars. Other aspects of the pension reform include the separation of the State social insurance budget from the State budget, the establishment of specialized funds, and the introduction of the tripartite management of the State social insurance system. The current Bulgarian pension system came into force with the Mandatory Social Insurance Code on 1 January 2000 (renamed the Social Insurance Code [SIC] in 2003). The main objectives of the reform were to stabilize the existing public insurance system (first pillar), and to allow the Bulgarian population to receive higher incomes after retirement through participation in second and third pillars of the pension system. 1.1.1 The public system of mandatory pension insurance of the pay-as-you-go type (I pillar) The first pillar is a pay-as-you-go public pension insurance system. Promoting the principle of mandatory participation and universality, the first pillar covers all economically active persons. It is financed through contributions from employers and employees, as well as through transfers from the State budget for covering all non-contributory pension benefits and some non-contributory periods, which are regarded as insurance periods. In the period 2009-2015 the State was participating as a “third insurer” and was paying contributions equal to 12 percent of the total insurance income of all insured persons. As of 2016 the State contribution was abolished. In addition, the State has the obligation to cover any remaining financial gaps and deficits of the public pension system. The first pillar is administrated by the National Social Security Institute (NSSI), which is responsible for the entitlement and payment of pensions and other social insurance benefits in the event of one’s temporary incapacity to work, maternity and unemployment. The pension policy is formulated and implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. Since 2000 the old-age pension is calculated according to the following formula: Old-Age Pension = AR x IP x IC x AMII, where AR: Accrual rate, IP: Insurance period, IC: Individual coefficient, and AMII: National average monthly insurable income in the last 12 months preceding retirement. The main components of the pension formula are explained as follows: ─ The accrual rate until the end of 2016 was 1.1 percent per insurance year. For periods of postponed retirement the accrual rate is 4 percent. Page 3 of 34 ─ The insurance period consists of the contributory and non-contributory periods for which contributions have been paid by the State. ─ The individual coefficient is the ratio of an individual’s average insurable income to the national average insurable income. When calculating the individual coefficient, the individual’s average is calculated from (i) their best three consecutive years out of the last 15 years of service before 1 January 1997 and (ii) the whole period after 31 December 1996. As from January 2019 the choice of the 3 best years will be abolished and the reference period for calculation of the individual coefficient will include only the service after 1996. ─ The national average monthly insurable income for the 12 months preceding retirement is calculated and reported by the National Social Security Institute on a monthly basis. Minimum income support for the elderly is provided through the minimum old-age pension and the social pension for old age. The minimum old-age pension amount is set every year by the Public Social Insurance Budget Law. Members of elderly households having income lower than the minimum income guarantee are entitled to the social pension for old age. This pension is means-tested and is financed by the State budget. The maximum pension is fixed at 35 percent of the maximum insurable income (35% of 2600 BGN). Disability pensions are payable to insured persons who have lost more than 50 percent of their ability to work and have completed a minimum five-year insurance period. For insured persons under 30 years of age, the required insurance period is shortened in the following manner: ─ For persons under 20 years of age, persons born blind or persons who became blind before starting to work, disability pensions are available regardless of the duration of their insurance period. ─ For persons between 20 and 24 years of age, one year of insurance is required. ─ For persons between 25 and 29 years of age, three years of insurance are required. Persons with more than 50 percent loss in their ability to work due to work accident or occupational disease qualify for disability pension regardless of the duration of their insurance period. Survivors’ pensions are payable to children up to age 18 (age 26 if a student, no limit if disabled), to surviving spouse within 5 years prior to statutory retirement age (earlier if disabled) and to parents older than statutory retirement age who do not receive a pension in their own right. Parents of insured persons who died during military service are eligible regardless of age. The annual pension indexation is carried out in the middle of the year according to a formula that comprises 50% of the increase in the consumer price index (CPI) and 50% of the insurance income growth during the previous calendar year. Page 4 of 34 Periods in which persons receive social insurance benefits for temporary incapacity, maternity and unemployment are credited as fully-insured periods. Other non-contributory periods, such as military service and child-rearing (for children under two years of age) are also regarded as insurance periods. Upon retirement, the contributions due for these periods are transferred from the State budget to the Public Social Security Budget. 1.1.2 Supplementary mandatory pension schemes (II pillar) The second pillar is a supplementary mandatory pension insurance system. It is based on individual retirement savings

  • Rearticulating Socialist Subjectivities
    Rearticulating Socialist Subjectivities Class and Gender in Romanian Fiction during Communism by Alexandru Demirel Emil Boican Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy School of Slavonic and East European Studies University College London 2016 I, Alexandru Demirel Emil Boican confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis proposes a socio-cultural analysis of the articulation of socialist subjectivities in Romanian fiction during the communist period. The question underpinning my research, therefore, concerns the way in which the literary articulation of subjectivity changed across two historical divides: from the inter-war period to Socialist Realism and from Socialist Realism to the literature of the troubling decade. This thesis will be argued over four chapters, two of which will examine the works of Mihail Sadoveanu while a further two will dissect the works of Augustin Buzura. Through the close reading of the works of Sadoveanu and Buzura, whose careers span the two aforementioned historical divides, this thesis will trace the complex rearticulating of class and gender subjectivities as they evolved throughout the communist period, as well as the importance of the communist regime’s social legacies as regards the understanding of post 1989 social developments in Romania. Central to the communist regime’s project of social transformation was the creation of an egalitarian society by default of the abolition of capitalist classes and gender inequalities. While the regime claimed that the material basis of these inequalities had been eliminated and social emancipation was well advanced, critics considered that the official egalitarian discourse had erased social and individual differences and engendered the so-called “faceless masses”.

    'sfuuft {~ff,;t (lll~. im.luf¥ SIXTEENTH CONGRESS OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES First Regular Session '13 JlJL -1 All:Z 4 SENATE S:B. 78 Introduced by Senator Poe Explanatory Note Film Tourism is a growing phenomenon worldwide, fueled by both the growth of the , entertainment industry and the increase in international travel. Several countries have already . capitalized on the spiraling phenomenon of film tourism. Their governments, airline companies and tourism organizations have initiated measures to promote famous and even previously untapped destinations where the film was set as tourist attractions. South Korea, Turkey, Thailand, the United States of America, United Kingdom and New Zealand are some examples. I In their research entitled "Promoting Destinations via Film Tourism: An Empirical Identification of Supporting Marketing Initiatives" published in May 2006 in the Journal of Travel Research, Simon Hudson and J.R. Brent Ritchie cited increased tourist arrivals in destinations where famous films took place. As cited, the Wallace Monument in Scotland saw a-300% increase in visitors a year after the movie "Braveheart" was filmed which starred Mel Gibson in 1995. "The Lord of the Rings" franchise, filmed in New Zealand, also saw a steady increase of 10% in tourist arrivals from 1998-2003 from United Kingdom alone. The following information are significant (the list of film titles, the film locations and the boost in tourism percentage): • "Steel Magnolias" Louisiana; 48% increase year after release • "Harry Potter" Various
