Social protection Contrasts Simplicity and readability are the key words of the systems offered by Germany, France’s main trading partner across the\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Rhine\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comparison of social protection systems: France and Germany: \u2013<\/span><\/h2>\n

Simplicity and readability are the key words of the systems offered by Germany, France’s main trading partner across the Rhine.\u00a0A recent report by the\u00a0<\/span>General Directorate of the Treasury<\/span><\/a>\u00a0compares the social protection system of France and Germany, with the aim of improving the French systems.\u00a0The financing of social protection, health insurance, long-term care insurance, family policy, social minima, the pension system, retirement savings schemes, employment policies and partial\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>unemployment\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0are scrutinized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contrasting approaches: the strengths of France and the simplicity of Germany: \u2013<\/span><\/h2>\n

The DGT observes that \u201cthe socio-fiscal system protects better in France against the risk of poverty (13.3% in France against 15.6% in Germany in 2009), mainly thanks to the system of levies and social protection since the rates of poverty – tax transfers are comparable (around 24% in both countries)\u201d.\u00a0With regard to family policy, while France and Germany devote a comparable share of their budget, we note that “France is distinguished by a much more dynamic birth rate and a much higher employment rate for mothers” .<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, and unsurprisingly, the German system appears to be \u201csimpler\u201d in certain respects.\u00a0The report considers that the general point-based retirement system is more suitable and that the social systems are more legible because there are fewer of them (for example fewer social minima, simpler partial unemployment system).\u00a0Supporting the President of the Republic’s proposal to increase the human and financial resources of P\u00f4le Emploi, the report considers that “the resources allocated to the support and follow-up of German job seekers are greater in Germany”, which must contribute to the fact that unemployment compensation is less.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, financial management \u201cmore demanding in Germany\u201d is acclaimed (such as the obligation to pay the health insurance balance, the regulation of the supply of care, or even the non-indexation of certain benefits).\u00a0This indicates that the German system emphasizes stricter financial regulations and greater efficiency.\u00a0The report highlights these aspects as areas where France could draw inspiration from its German counterpart to improve its social protection systems and gain in simplicity and efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n
