Is there a social security system abroad?

There are different models of social security system in foreign countries, generally including British model, German model and Southeast Asian model. The British model is the so-called welfare state model, which establishes a social security system according to the principle of universality and implements universal security. This model is practiced in all Nordic countries except Britain. The German model is characterized by the principle of self-help, in which employers and employees bear the main social security responsibilities and the government provides appropriate subsidies. Other countries implementing this model include the Netherlands, Austria, the United States and Japan. The characteristic of Southeast Asia model is that it is enforced by national legislation, and the funds needed for protection are entirely borne by employers and employees, and the government does not provide any subsidies. Singapore is the representative of this model, and Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and several African countries have also implemented this model. The social security systems of all countries in the world have their own characteristics and are worth learning from. With the development of social economy in the world, the social security systems in various countries are also being reformed and improved.
