Social Security in the Netherlands

A new legal area, social security law regulates the complex relationship between the State & social security institutions, enterprises, & other economic entities, & families & individuals. The Encyclopaedia consists of national & international monographs. National monographs concentrate on the general systems of social security that cover wage-earners and, in many cases, the entire population against the most significant risks: healthcare, sickness benefits, pensions, unemployment benefits, & family benefits. For each social security system, an essay describes the field of application, the conditions for entitlement, the calculation of benefits, the financing, & the institutional framework. Law enforcement, controls, & appeals receive special attention. International monographs deal with international organisations such as the International Labour Organization, the Council of Europe, the European Union, & the Nordic Council. The Encyclopaedia further provides an International Social Security Law Code with the main international texts that regulate social security in the industrialised nations. Separate Case Law & Codex volumes contain, respectively, the relevant international & regional jurisprudence with background notes & English-language texts of many important documents, conventions, regulations, directives, & recommendations. This publication provides practitioners & scholars with current, substantial coverage in this novel area of law.Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment Staff is the author of 'Social Security in the Netherlands', published 1990 under ISBN 9789065444936 and ISBN 9065444939.
