This volume contains the papers presented at the 1997 annual meeting of the Committee on Social Policy. Hans Jürgen Rösner deals with the structural and organizational principles of social security. The functions that a new paradigm must fulfill are integration, consensus promotion, risk protection, productivity promotion and the viability of the security system. Roland Eisen deals with alternatives to long-term care provision. The models of private voluntary insurance, private compulsory insurance, state social insurance and social assistance are discussed. The author also assigns the solutions chosen in 12 member states of the European Union to these. This is followed by an in-depth comparison of the German, English and Danish systems. Johannes Schwarze looks at the American and German pension systems in terms of the level of security, old-age poverty and income distribution. The institutional comparison shows that the American pension system is strongly geared towards preventing old-age poverty, while the German system aims to maintain living standards across a wide income range.

Richard Hauser analyses concepts of minimum income for the elderly in twelve EU member states. On the basis of a systematization of the regulations in place in the countries, institutionally based hypotheses are formulated about their effectiveness.
