Show the answer
Correct answer: Sozialversicherung Social insurance
Why?
Everyone in permanent employment pays social insurance contributions, which are deducted from their wages automatically each month. Social assistance, Kindergeld (a payment for families with children) and Wohngeld (a housing allowance) are not paid by employees; the state pays them to people who qualify.
Key term: Sozialversicherung = social insurance
