New Report on Employee Benefits in the UK, Japan, UAE, South Africa and Denmark Research Growth and Share

Employee Benefits in the UK
The UK has one of the most comprehensive and well-established welfare systems in the world. It is predominantly controlled by the social security system, which provides citizens with various benefits, as well as foreign nationals who reside in the UK. Welfare benefits in the country are disbursed under various schemes such as cash benefits, healthcare, education, housing and personal social services. Cash benefits are widely used, and are among the most popular social security schemes in the UK. These benefits are classified into three subgroups, namely national insurance, means-tested and non-contributory benefits.

Employee Benefits in Japan
The Japanese social security system is designed to assure a minimum standard of living to its citizens, as well as protection from social and economic risks. It consists of the following components: a public pension system, health services, and personal social services for the elderly and the disabled, family policy to support working women, employment of senior workers, and public assistance. Japan follows a multi-tier pension system, which includes public and private pension schemes. The public pension and healthcare systems are comprehensive, covering all citizens of the country. The country’s healthcare system is characterized by a fee-for-service practice, and the free choice of healthcare providers. However, personal social services and family policy are the relatively underdeveloped social security fields.

Employee Benefits in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has undergone a huge transformation following the discovery of oil in the 1950s, going from a poor region to a contemporary state with a high standard of living. The country, however, only provides social security benefits to UAE nationals. The country does not have a social security system comparable to those that expatriates from other countries have access to. Expatriate employees and employers of an expatriate are not required to make contributions to any social security scheme. The country’s social security system is governed by the Pension and Social Security Federal Law. The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) and Abu Dhabi Retirement Pensions and Benefits Fund (ADRPBF) are both responsible for social insurance and pension benefits in the UAE. Individuals can also voluntarily participate in private benefit plans.

Employee Benefits in South Africa
South Africa has a well-developed social security system, which covers employees and their dependents, unemployed persons and individuals. The Department of Labor (DoL) is the central labor administration body and is regulated by Ministry of Labor. The South African social security system is composed of three pillars: the non-contributory pillar (taxed pillar), contributory pillar and private voluntary pillar. The contributory pillar includes social insurance, while the non-contributory pillar includes social assistance and social relief distress. The private voluntarily pillar covers pensions, short-term, work-injury and healthcare benefits, and is usually voluntary but can become obligatory based on a company’s policy, work, industry and sector.

Employee Benefits in Denmark
Denmark is one of the few countries in the world that adjusted well to the challenge of providing an established social security system and a flexible labor market for its citizens. It was one of the first countries to adopt a multi-pillar pension system, comprising a flat-rate residence-based national pension and private occupational pensions based on collective agreements. The first pillar is the state and compulsory pillar, providing universal cover. It consists of two tiers – the first is a residence-based Folkepension (national or social pension), while the second consists of a number of fully funded supplementary schemes. The second pillar is a quasi-mandatory scheme, which includes privately managed fully funded occupational schemes, and the third pillar consists of voluntary, supplementary pension schemes which are managed by banks or insurance companies. Most branches of the Danish social security system are compulsory, except unemployment insurance, and are financed by taxation.
