Social Insurance Institute
The Social Insurance Institute (Greek: Ίδρυμα Κοινωνικών Ασφαλίσεων, IKA) was the largest, state based, social security organization in Greece: its beneficiaries were 5,530,000 members of the Greek employed population and 830,000 pensioners.[1] It was established in 1934 with first director Panagiotis Kanellopoulos.
