Social report

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Social Report in Germany is a report by the Federal Government on the social benefits provided in Germany over a certain period and their financing. It appears regularly at the end of a legislative period or on special occasions.

With the social report, the federal government documents the welfare state benefits as well as corresponding reforms of the respective legislative period in this area. The report gives, on the one hand, an overview of measures and projects of social and social policy and, on the other hand, contains the social budget with which the Federal Government provides information at regular intervals about the scope, structure and development of income and expenditure in the individual branches of social security in the Federal Republic of Germany. The otherwise usual annual tabular reporting of the social budget is supplemented by a detailed description of the individual security systems and a medium-term forecast of the development of social benefits.

Social reporting began in 1969 with the submission of the first social budget. In 1970 a report section was added to the social budget for the first time and renamed the social report. Since the finances of the pension insurance had been reported annually under this name , the previous social report was renamed the Pension Adjustment Report (today the Pension Insurance Report ).

The social report was published annually from 1970 to 1976 and every two years from 1976 to 1990. Since the 1990s, the social report has generally been published at the end of a legislative period; in 1993 (transition of the social security systems to the new federal states ) and 2005 (shortening of the 15th legislative period ) the report was published a year earlier. The current edition is from July 4, 2013, the default from July 20, 2009.
