This new website created by a team of authors (Urs Germann, Berne; Matthieu Leimgruber, Geneva; Martin Lengwiler, Basel; Carola Togni, Lausanne) provides a comprehensive insight into the history of social security in Switzerland.
On the one hand, it offers an overview of the development of the Swiss welfare state since the 19th century. On the other hand it contains detailed information on individual aspects of the history of the welfare state (risks, players and key organizations as well as statistics).
The website is currently under development. It will be completed by the end of 2013 and will include over a hundred articles.
