Spain’s Social Security system recorded its first ever total of more than 22.3 million affiliates, with 22,337,806 individuals registered by the end of May. The month of May saw an addition of 231,975 affiliates, the second‑largest single‑month rise on record. Year‑on‑year, the increase was 553,431 affiliates, a 2.54 % rise – the highest rate in over two years. Women now account for 47.5 % of affiliates, while foreign workers represent 15 % of the total. The data also show a continued decline in temporary contracts, down to 11.8 % from 31.1 % in May 2018. The Ministry attributes the growth to labour‑market reforms and employment policies. This milestone follows 64 consecutive months of positive employment growth and marks a significant expansion of coverage since the labour‑market reforms were implemented.
