About this data
The three large branches of German social insurance month by month. Unemployment insurance: revenue and expenditure of the Federal Employment Agency - contributions, insolvency levy, unemployment and short-time working benefits, job promotion and administration - and the resulting deficit or surplus, in EUR million. Statutory pension insurance: the sustainability reserve in euro and in months of expenditure, contribution revenue, the number of pensions in payment and the amount paid out. Statutory health and long-term care insurance: members, co-insured family members and all insured persons, the sickness rate among members entitled to sick pay and the average supplementary contribution rate.
