The GLOBAL MIGRATION FLOWS interactive app tracks migrants around the world. This application is now being hosted by IOM.int. It is endlessly fascinating to explore where we're from.
The underlying data for the map was published by the UN DESA in 2015. Using the app: Choose whether you want to access information about migrants leaving a country (Outward) or migrants entering a country (Inward). Then click on a country and watch the pattern of migration to or from the chosen country.
The Public Services Card (PSC) helps you to access a range of public services easily. Your identity is fully authenticated when it is issued so you do not have to give the same information to multiple organisations. A Public Services Card is usually issued when you are allocated a PPS number. If you apply for, or are currently getting a social welfare payment (including Child Benefit) you will be asked to register for your Public Services Card.
Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future.
The 2019 World Development Report studies how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today.

Social Europe (10.07.2018) With the repeal of the 8th amendment Irish women and their partners will have a choice if and when to have children later this year. This choice will have major implications for social policy and the development of a family-friendly welfare state in Ireland. From my own experience Irish people are extremely child-friendly but Ireland as a country offers little support to families. It will be the first time that women will make these choices on this island, so services and income protection will have to be attractive for families.
In preparing a report on the actuarial valuation of a social security scheme, an actuary considers legislative requirements and relevant professional standards and guidance, as well as the intended audience.
The social security institution involves the actuary in the processes which determine an appropriate value to place on the scheme’s assets.
Placing an appropriate value on assets is important and may be required for a number of different reasons, including the need to assess the financial situation of a social security system and to determine benefit amounts.
In certain programmes, the value of benefits of current and/or future beneficiaries is directly or indirectly related to the value placed on assets.
The actuary follows the relevant actuarial standards applicable in the country in which he or she works or those set by the actuarial association(s) of which he or she is a member. If the actuary is a member of an actuarial association which has not set relevant standards, the social security institution ensures that the actuary follows the International Standards of Actuarial Practice (ISAP) recommended by the International Actuarial Association (IAA) as model standards.
In the case where internal resources are used to perform actuarial work, the social security institution maintains adequate staffing levels and provides the actuarial department with the necessary resources to ensure that tasks can be carried out effectively.
This guideline should be read in conjunction with Guidelines 49 and 51.
The institution develops a strategy to reach out to groups by taking into account their needs, characteristics and local circumstances.

The institution provides accurate and easy to understand information on its programmes and services, through various channels.

Awareness of rights and obligations vis-à-vis the social security system, including with regard to contribution collection and compliance, plays a key role in fostering a “culture” of social security and compliance. This is particularly important where there have been historical problems of poor service, fraud or data loss.
Legislation, policy or decree defines the powers and responsibilities of the board. The powers and responsibilities of the board are clearly delineated from those of the management. There are no areas of ambiguity, dilemma or conflict of interest.
The legislation, policy or decree that establishes the social security programme normally prescribes its manner of financing and the benefits to be provided to the covered population.
Predictability refers to the consistent and uniform application of the law, including the rules and regulations to implement it. Stakeholders are generally averse to sudden or unannounced changes in contributions to and benefits from the programme. The methodical application of the programme will strengthen stakeholder confidence and support for it.
