NON-AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE SYSTEMS OF PUBLIC SOCIAL INSURANCE AND SOCIAL INSURANCE FOR FARMERS

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare conducting economic activity by people covered by social insurance and by social insurance for farmers in the years 2013-2017. The former included old-age pension insurance, disability and survivors’ insurance, sickness insurance, accident and health insurance as well as contributions for the Labour Fund. Social insurance for farmers was defined based on old-age and disability insurance, sickness insurance, accident insurance and maternity insurance. Monthly contributions for social insurance for persons conducting non-agricultural economic activity were three times higher in the public system of social insurance (ZUS, or National Social Insurance Institution). However, when health insurance and Labuor Fund contributions were included, they were five times higher than agricultural social insurance (KRUS, or Agricultural Social Insurance Fund). The share of social and health insurance in the income of persons commencing economic activity was more than twice higher than in the income of persons insured by KRUS.<br/><br/>
