MISSOC, the ‘Mutual Information System on Social Protection’, was established in 1990 to promote a continuous exchange of information on social protection among the EU Member States. The system nowadays includes information on Social Protection in all 27 Member States, the three countries of the European economic area - Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - as well as Switzerland
MISSOC has grown into a central knowledge and information base
for public authorities, professional users and citizens, providing up-to-date information on social
protection legislation, benefits and conditions in all participating countries.
The information consists of regularly updated comparative tables covering all areas of social protection,
as well as topical and analytical papers:
