Description Editors Contact
This set in the International Encyclopaedia of Laws(IEL) provides profound information on the different social security schemes in the various countries. The basic ideas and mechanisms of each scheme are described in an easily comprehensible way.
The legal mechanisms of the following areas of social protection are covered in each monograph: health care, employment injuries and occupational diseases, sickness benefits, pensions, unemployment and family benefits. Due to the fact that a similar structure of text is used for every country, the main differences between the various national social security systems are clearly underlined. Law enforcements, controls and appeals receive special attention. A group of international monographs explains the role of international organizations in setting norms for social security systems and in coordinating existing systems in cases involving migrant workers and others to whom more than one national scheme may be applicable.
The monograph is regularly updated with experts in the field of social security law providing theoretical and practical information concerning the various systems. The general background of the system is described in order to give the practitioner or legal scholar the necessary background to understand the differences between the systems and the developments and evolutions of each social security system.
For each country or organization covered the work provides:
