International Social Security Association

The International Social Security Association (ISSA) is the world's leading international organization bringing together government departments, social security administrations and agencies. The ISSA membership is composed of institutions and bodies administering social security in most countries of the world, including all forms of compulsory social protection which, by virtue of national law or practice, are an integral part of national social security systems. Founded in 1927, the ISSA has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
