Bismarck's Germany was the first country to enact a comprehensive system of social legislation including insurance against illness, disability, accidents, and old age. The system was known as the "Social Insurance Act" and was passed in 1883, which was much earlier than other countries. The act was introduced by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck who wanted to reduce the appeal of socialism among the working class by providing them with social benefits. This system became a model for other countries to follow.
