Abstract

Currently, discussion of the German Social Security System and the burden of its payroll tax has once again left the academic field and become a political topic. This development has been sparked by a rising number of unemployed persons in Germany and a declining labour force. The rate of contribution for the mandatory German pension fund will rise to 20.3% in 1997 from 19.2% in 1996.
