In a country, to what degree the citizens enjoy human rights, it depends on the law. The minimum cost of living system has to be ensured by law in its progress toward institutionalization and standardization. This has been testified by the history of the development of the social security systems, either in Germany, which is regarded as a pioneer in modern social security systems or the United States.展开更多
