The following year, 2023\/24, saw a decrease to 78,009, followed by a further drop to 77,764 in the 2024\/25 period.<\/p>\n<p>This decline indicates that approximately 785 firms have dropped off the list of companies making active contributions to the fund over the past two years. This contraction follows a period of significant growth. <\/p>\n<p>Looking back to the 2017\/18 period, the fund had 73,896 active employers. While there was a slight dip to 73,308 in 2018\/19 and another fluctuation to 73,237 in 2020\/21, the subsequent years showed a sharp upward trajectory.<\/p>\n<p> Between 2020\/21 and 2022\/23, the number of employers surged by over 5,000, jumping from 73,237 to 76,907, and finally to the 78,549 peak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Social Security Fund has witnessed a notable shift in the number of active contributing employers over&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[64,63,99,7592,186,240577,272481,184,185,4031,35470,34536,271162,223420,34537,240576,34535,1782],"class_list":["post-550839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-employers","tag-finance","tag-kenya-news","tag-nssf","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-star","tag-star-news","tag-star-news-kenya","tag-star-newspaper","tag-star-newspaper-kenya","tag-the-star","tag-the-star-kenya","tag-the-star-newspaper","tag-workers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
