International Social Security Review (ISSR)

The International Social Security Review is a well‑established quarterly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding of social security policies and practices globally. Published by Wiley‑Blackwell on behalf of the International Social Security Association (ISSA), it provides a premier forum for scholarly analysis and comparative research on the design, implementation, and outcomes of social protection systems in diverse national contexts. The journal’s roots extend back to 1948, and in its current academic form it has circulated since 1967, encompassing decades of research on pensions, insurance schemes, employment support, welfare administration, and public benefits. Each issue brings together contributions from leading experts — including academics, policymakers, and practitioners — who examine key challenges such as population ageing, economic inequality, labour market shifts, and institutional innovation. Articles often combine rigorous empirical evidence with policy insights, reflecting the journal’s dual commitment to scholarly excellence and practical relevance. As social security systems adapt to 21st‑century pressures — including demographic transitions, digital transformation, and global economic volatility — the journal remains a timely and influential source of critical analysis and evidence‑based recommendations for researchers and decision‑makers alike.
