The aim in developing countries is to secure the (poor) population against the occurrence of future emergency situations and against existing current emergency situations. Social security systems shall strengthen the risk management capability in a sustainable way. This shall improve the capacity of coping mechanisms. Furthermore, there is a need for subsidizations of extremely poor people so that they can participate in social insurance systems.
The model for the development of social security systems in developing countries is the structure of the German welfare state. Thus, the provision of social security is a key task of the state. Germany’s social security system provides far-reaching security for
