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":354579,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[72,3244,176,61,60,127212,161118,174,175,9315,24721,22106,160232,122065,22107,127211,22105,6936],"class_list":["post-354578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-employers","tag-finance","tag-ie","tag-ireland","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\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
