The law on job placement and unemployment insurance ( AVAVG ) of July 16, 1927 was passed by the German Reichstag on July 7, 1927 with 355 votes to 47, with 15 abstentions and 3 invalid votes, and came into force on October 1 of that year. It represents the late start of unemployment insurance in Germany compared to other European countries. After the Second World War , this was followed up and in 1957 an attempt was made to restore the state before the Nazi era with a major amendment to the AVAVG . It was not until 1969 that this law was replaced by the Employment Promotion Act (AFG), which gave the labor administration in the Federal Republic a new legal basis.

purpose

In the history of social insurance in Germany, the law replaced the provisional regulation of the unemployment welfare ordinance within the framework of war welfare and created a real legal right to unemployment benefits. With this law, the Reichsanstalt für Arbeitsvermittlung and Unemployment Insurance was created, which was the forerunner of today's Federal Employment Agency . The first president of the institution was Friedrich Syrup .
