The Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany already refers to the social orientation of the country. In this context, the social aspect is just as important as adherence to the democratic basic order. Germany is a social state. The Federal Government is also obliged to publish a social report in which it presents the respective scope and significance of its social policy achievements. The multitude of areas affected and influenced by social policy is manifold and incalculable. It is impossible for anyone to escape the impact of social policy. From birth onwards, citizens of the Federal Republic are subject to the regulations and institutions of social policy. Thus social policy has an impact on health, family and labour policy, among other things. This branching out can already be seen clearly in the ministries. Although there is a Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, social policy also has an impact in the areas of the Ministry of Family Affairs, the Ministry of Economics and the Ministry of Finance. This paper attempts to clarify which institutions are involved in the implementation of social policy in the Federal Republic. In this context, social work should be mentioned as an instrument of social policy. But what is meant by social work? To what extent is social work an instrument of policy or is it not only an executive element but itself an important part of policy? Which areas of social policy are influenced by social work and to what extent does social work influence social policy? Here it is important to look at the relationship between these two parties. Is it subject to change over the years or is there a constant pattern of action and orientation? In the following, social work will be examined more closely using the concrete example of child and youth welfare, which is a focal point of social work. The focus of the work will not be on the exact presentation of the working methods, the various institutions and the problems of social work, but rather to establish the relationship to social policy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book investigates the history of the post-war welfare state in Germany and its normative foundations, with special emphasis on constitutional issues. The author, formerly Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Foreign and International Social Law, Munich, and President of the Max-Planck-Society, argues that social policy – not only in Germany – is about struggles over the “social”. The “social” is an open and changing concept that reflects the modern quest for equality, voiced in semantics like justice, participation, inclusion and security. The “social” and the “social state” (the German term for welfare state) are enshrined in the German Constitution of 1949, the Grundgesetz. The book sets out the phases of welfare state development in depth. Social policies are analyzed in view of wider contexts, especially the nation state, the rule of law (Rechtsstaat), federalism and democracy. The author emphasizes the dialectics between the national character of the welfare state and its manifold international references.

Social security systems have to change because the underlying conditions are changing: globalisation, technological innovation, the disappearance of borders in Europe and demographic development are challenges the social systems must respond to. Social systems have to adapt. But how and in what direction should they evolve: public administration or private insurance; financed through taxes or through voluntary contributions; large amount of benefit in order to ensure social peace and to streng then the consumer or low benefit to save money and to encourage selfactivity? Inorder to answer these and other questions it may be rewarding to examine the different social systems and to learn from the most successful ones.
