Mexico’s social security system was introduced on December 31, 1942, with effect from January 19, 1943, and has since evolved in terms of scope and coverage. The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the Institute for Security and Social Services for Government Workers (ISSSTE) are the governing bodies of the social security system. The existing social security system was introduced on July 1, 1997, for voluntary contributions, and on September 1, 1997, for mandatory contributions. The social security system is based on defined contributions instead of the earlier pay-as-you-go system. The system provides coverage for disability, death, and retirement benefits. Individual accounts are created for employees and contributions made by the employee, employer, and the government is credited therein.
