Fishermen’s Pension and Social Security Benefit Scheme
Most are self-employed, with income in both occupations usually seasonal and subject to many factors beyond their control. Both occupations involve hard physical work, and many continue working beyond the age of 60 years. The Farmers’ and Fishermen’s Pension and Social Security Benefit Schemes were established by successive acts of legislation in 1987 and 1990. The objectives were to provide a minimum level of social security and provision in old age for workers, who had no access to other formal schemes. Both Schemes are administered by the Agricultural and Agrarian Insurance Board (AAIB), with overall supervision provided by the Ministers in charge of Agriculture and the Department of Fisheries.
