An equitable system of social security and cooperative social partners
One of the key elements of the German model for success is a comprehensive
network of social security systems with statutory social insurance at its centre.
They cover the major life risks of unemployment, illness and (industrial)
accidents as well as old age and care requirements.
Chancellor Bismarck established statutory health and pension insurance in the 1880s with the aim of
reconciling the workforce with the state.
