First Published in 1943, Social Security critically examines the arrangements for providing pensions, insurance benefits, allowances and compensation to the vast mass of wage earners and their dependants. Divided into two parts, it discusses crucial themes like the fundamentals of social security; unemployment and health insurance; pension schemes for widows, orphans, the blind, and the aged; the system of workmen’s compensation; superannuation schemes; pensions for the members of armed forces and civilians suffering war injuries and public assistance and the work of the assistance board. This comprehensive book is a must read for scholars and researchers of political economy, British economy, and labour economics.
