“…The statutory pension insurance has received a subsidy from general tax revenues since its foundation (Frerich & Frey, , p. 100). This subsidy is seen as a compensation for general social tasks ( gesamtgesellschaftliche Aufgaben ) and is also to contribute to the stability of the pension insurance's finances (Bäcker, Naegele, Bispinck, Hofemann, & Neubauer, , p. 444). In 1992, the subsidy was reformed; it was increased and became indexed according to the development of wages and of contribution rates (instead of being adjusted according to the wages alone).…”

At the core of the German system of welfare provision stand social insurance schemes whose central role contributes to Germany being labelled a social insurance state. In recent decades, Germany has been experiencing major social policy reforms that are often evaluated as paradigm changes. These changes have been reflected in analyses that sometimes even questioned common classifications of the German welfare state. The article sheds light on recent developments that have affected the German system of social insurance. It focuses on four aspects of social insurance: benefits, financing, governance, and coverage.Although confirming many earlier analyses of reforms in detail and sharing assessments of changes such as retrenchment and marketization, the article nevertheless stresses that social insurance remains structurally intact and that the work-welfare nexus underlying welfare provision has been reinterpreted but not surrendered.

“…Ein inhä rentes Ziel der deutschen und europäischen Sozialpolitik ist es daher, Armut zu verhindern bzw. die Lebensbedingungen von in Armut lebenden Personen bedeutend zu verbessern [7,8]. So sieht beispielsweise die Strategie "Europa 2020" der Europäischen Union vor, bis zum Jahr 2020 mehr als 20 Millionen Menschen aus der relativen Armut und sozialen Exklusion zu helfen [9].…”

“…People who fall into the highest risk categories and who need urgent care, such as the elderly and the chronically ill, do not need to pay any additional premiums. By organizing the system in this way, a distribution effect between high-and low-risk people has occurred [11]. The organizer of SLCI, the Nursing Care Insurance Fund (NCIF), cannot prevent high-risk people from joining.…”

“…The SLCI program was never intended to assume full responsibility for those in need of care; rather, it encourages the care services and activities of families, households, civil society actors and intermediary non-profit organizations to fulfill the task of long-term care.The welfare state regulates the long-term care sector through lawmaking, benchmarking, monitoring and evaluation [11]. The most decisive institutional arrangement of the SLCI is that the nursing care activities undertaken by family members and relatives are also financed by the NCIF; the contributions of family members who give up their work for the purpose of providing nursing care at home are recognized as social work and monetarily compensated.…”

“…While the health insurance system is designed to cover the full medical needs of patients, the SLCI only reimburses partial costs for those in need. According to statistics, nearly half of the cost of long-term care has been covered by the SLCI, and those dependent on care must pay the other half by themselves [12].…”

Nursing Care for Elderly People in Germany and China: A Bilateral Comparison and Exploration of Policy Transfer

This article is dedicated to outlining two nursing care models for elderly people in Germany and China. Shaped by the European welfare state model, Germany has launched a statutory long-term care insurance program aimed at integrating multiple actors, such as the family, intermediary organizations, non-profit organizations and private providers into a supply structure within a mandatory social care insurance system, where the welfare state acts as lawmaker and regulator for public nursing care. Compared to the German system, China has a rudimentary nursing care system characterized by a hybrid model, which relies on both conventional family care and individual private insurance. After introducing elderly care in both countries, this review article explores the possibility of transferring the German model of long-term care insurance to China to reduce the increasing problem of elderly care. The soaring demand for elderly care and underdeveloped public services for nursing care represent a great challenge for contemporary Chinese society.
