What is the Social Security contribution scheme?

One of the main pillars of Malta’s social security system is the Social Security Contribution Scheme.

The social security contribution scheme does not provide you only with a pension upon retirement. By paying your social security contributions you are also entitled to receive various contributory benefits apart from the contributory retirement pension such as unemployment benefit, invalidity pension, survivor’s pension, sickness benefit, injury benefit.
