As the number of self-employed in agriculture gets a big weight in the total of contributors, this change in the calculation basis brings visible effects in the total number of contributors. The total number of contributors was the highest in 2014 with an average of 654,563 contributors, marking so a 16.6% increase compared with 2013. On the other hand, the lowest number of contributors was recorded in 2009, with about 548 765 contributors.

Correction of the number of self-employed in agriculture has brought a huge imbalance between the number of urban and rural contributors. During the years 2008-2014, about 83% of the contributors to the social security scheme were urban contributors. The year 2014 marks the year with the highest number of contributors both urban and rural ones.

Entities which file their declarations at the social security scheme are public entities; private firms; self-employed; employed in agriculture and voluntarily insured entities.
