Luxembourg
The system of social protection in
Luxembourg has been divided into seven
different branches. The administrative
organisation reflects the gradual creation of
the system and takes account of the
different socio-professional categories. 1
January 2009 saw the creation of a single
legal status for all private sector employees
and the abolition of the distinction between
white- collar employees (who do mainly
intellectual work) and blue-collar workers
(who do mainly manual work).
At present there are approx. 10 institutions
in the field of social protection, which are
public institutions. They are financially
autonomous and are managed by the social
partners. There is equal representation of
employers and employees and different
groups of self- employed are represented.
The institutions are subject to statutory
supervision, which is implemented by the
General Inspectorate for Social Security as
well as by a hierarchic control carried out
by the minister in charge.
As regards sickness insurance, the
National Health Fund is competent for all
employees of the private sector. In the
public sector, three funds continue to exist:
 the Sickness Fund for Civil Servants and
State employees;
 the Sickness Fund for Civil Servants and
Employees of local Authorities;
 The Mutual Sickness Fund for Railway
(CFL) Employees.
The National Health Fund is also in charge
of long-term care benefits. The Assessment
and Orientation Unit (Cellule d'évaluation et
d'orientation), a special multidisciplinary
agency, assesses the need and decides on
the extent (expressed in time) of the
necessary services for dependent persons.
A mutual insurance fund for enterprises
offers employers reinsurance to manage the
risk of their obligation to continue to pay
wages in the event of sickness of their
employees.
The single contributory pension system is
run by the National Pension Insurance
Fund. A compensation fund administers the
financial reserves of the pension insurance.
The Accident Insurance Association is the
institution responsible for accidents at work,
occupational diseases and accidents while
travelling.
For family benefits there is only one
institution responsible - the National Family
Benefits Fund.
Unemployment benefits and employment
policy is managed by the Employment
Development Agency.
The National Solidarity Fund and the social
offices at the local level are responsible for
social assistance benefits.
