Abstract

Social security was first introduced in Spain in 1853, inspired by the Bismarck model, with the creation of some non-compulsory insurance schemes, including those against accidents at work. In 1919 the first compulsory insurance scheme, for the retirement of wage-earners, was introduced. More insurance schemes followed — again non-compulsory — for instance for maternity leave and for the support of large families. In 1932 compulsory coverage of accidents at work was introduced, funded by employers.
