✓ Correct Answer
Employers and employees
The correct answer is: “Employers and employees”. Germany is a welfare state (Art. 20 GG) that has a system of statutory health, pension, nursing care, accident and unemployment insurance. These social insurance policies offer all employees basic protection against illness, old age and unemployment. This question is part of the official naturalization test “Living in Germany” from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and is a prerequisite for German citizenship.
