Social Security in Yugoslavia,  by Svetozar  Pejovich, describes the
unique  organization of the social security system in Yugoslavia, the
first socialist state to decentralize its economy and to abolish admin-
istrative planning.
     In the Yugoslav  system, social security taxes are collected and
benefits are paid under regional administration, not the national gov-
ernment  as in most countries. Social security tax rates and benefit pay-
ments  vary  among   the  republics, and an  individual's retirement
benefits depend  on the  earnings of the  enterprise in which he  is
employed.  The  author concludes that an advantage  of the Yugoslav
system may  be more  effective control over its costs and benefits, since
the decision-making powers have been  kept in the hands of reasonably
small groups of persons who both receive and pay for the benefits.
     Svetozar Pejovich is Dean  of the Graduate  School of Manage-
ment  at the University of Dallas, Irving, Texas, and  visiting pro-
fessor of economics at Texas A&M   University.
