Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) - Türkiye (Ratification: 1975)

Part XII of the Convention (Equality of treatment of non-national residents), Article 68. In reply to the Committee's comments concerning the affiliation of foreign workers to the employees' social security scheme established in Act No. 506, the Government refers to the information provided in its report on the application of Convention No. 118. Consequently, the Committee refers to the comments which it makes on this Convention. It hopes that the Government will be able to take the necessary measures to bring the formal provisions of Act No. 506 relating to social insurance for employees, and in particular section 3, paragraph 2(a), into conformity with the principle of equality of treatment established by this provision of the Convention so as to provide for the compulsory affiliation of foreigners to the employees' social insurance scheme under the same conditions as for nationals. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.
