Abstract: The concept of contributivity ("contributivité") is central to thinking around social security, but its meaning and definition vary depending on context. After a reasoned inventory of various uses of the term contributivity in the field of public policy and in the economic literature, we suggest a positive and graduated definition of the contributivity of social insurance, which may refer to: i) the allocation of receipts; ii) the registration of insured individuals and iii) benefits considered to be "contributive" (benefits replacing employment income, reserved for registered employees and financed by allocated funds). Economically speaking, the sums are not typically proportional to the contributions paid, but the amount of the entitlements does rise with salary income and therefore in line with the contributions paid.
