Der Ausbau der gesetzlichen Rentenversicherung zu einer Erwerbstätigenversicherung und ihre Stellung in Europa

The paper deals with the question under which German and under which European guidelines the statutory pension insurance could be transformed into an employment insurance. First, it is clarified what the term employment insurance and social insurance means. In the following, it is clarified whether the different forms of employment such as self-employment or forms of employment exempt from pension insurance or exempt from compulsory pension insurance should be included in an employment insurance. At the same time, it is questioned whether and under what conditions insurance obligations that are not linked to gainful employment may be changed.
