The Social Security System in Spain is the principal system of
social protection. The concept of social security first appeared in
Spain in 1883, under the Committee for Social Reform, it was
expanded several times during the twentieth century.

59. The purpose of social security is to guarantee to those
people who carry out an occupational activity, or those that
meet the requirements of the non-contributory category,
such as family members or dependants for whom they
have responsibility, adequate protection against those
contingencies and situations contemplated by the law.

60. Protection provided by social security will include (cover):
1. Healthcare (primary or hospitalisation)in the case of maternity,
common, occupational illness or accidents, whether or not
occupational;
2. Professional care for those illnesses or accidents;
3. Benefits for the following:
- Temporary incapacity
- Maternity
- Death and survival
And for both contributory and non-contributory schemes:
- Invalidity
- Retirement
- Unemployment

68. Different types of Welfare Systems in the World
% of GDP in social expenditures in OECD states, 2013

69. ● Nordic model
● Continental model
● Anglo-saxon model
● Mediterranean model

70. NORDIC MODEL
Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands.
This model holds the highest level of social
insurance. Its main characteristic is its universal
provision nature which is based on the principle of
"citizenship". Therefore, there exists a more
generalised access, with lower conditionability, to
the social provisions.
The Nordic model is also characterised by a high tax
wedge.

71. CONTINENTAL MODEL
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Luxembourg.
The Continental model has some similarities with
the Nordic model. Nevertheless, it has a higher
share of its expenditures devoted to pensions. The
model is based on the principle of "security" and a
system of subsidies which are not conditioned to
employability (for example in the case of France or
Belgium, there exist subsidies whose only
requirement is being older than 25).

72. ANGLO-SAXON MODEL
Ireland and the United Kingdom.
This model features a lower level of expenditures
than the previous ones. Its main particularity is its
social assistance of last resort. Subsidies are
directed to a higher extent to the working-age
population and to a lower extent to pensions.
Access to subsidies is (more) conditioned to
employability (for instance, they are conditioned on
having worked previously).

73. MEDITERRANEAN MODEL
Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
It is the model with the lowest share of
expenditures and is strongly based on pensions and
a low level of social assistance. There exists in these
countries a higher segmentation of rights and
status of persons receiving subsidies which has as
one of its consequences a strongly conditioned
access to social provisions.
