In 1975, the (Social Security Law ) was approved and the SSO was established.〔http://www2.tamin.org.ir/web/sso-en/gi/history〕 Iran did not legislate in favor of a universal social protection, but in 1996, the (Center of the Statistics of Iran ) estimated that more than 73% of the Iranian population was covered by social security. Membership in the social security system is compulsory for all employees. SSO is a nongovernmental organization and it is solely financed by contributions (with participation of insured (7%), employer (20–23%) and government (3%)).〔〔http://www2.tamin.org.ir/web/sso-en/finance/resource〕〔https://www.socialsecurity.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssptw/2004-2005/asia/iran.html〕 Social protection is extended to the self-employed workers, who voluntarily contribute between 12% and 18% of income depending on the protection sought.
