This book provides an international comparison of workers' compensation insurance practices. It begins with an explanation of the major characteristics of a workers' compensation program such as which workers are covered and what medical care of expense benefits are provided. The book: describes the minimum standards prescribed by the International Labor Organization in 1964 and the United States National Commission on State Workmen's Compensation Laws in 1972; summarizes what options 136 nations have selected for each of the major characteristics; shows how these options tend to vary from nation to nation according to location, income status, and its security system; and describes in detail the workers' compensation program in 13 nations including the U.S., U.K., Japan, Hungary, The Netherlands, and Germany, to name a few. The nations were selected because they represent a wide variety of the approaches that have been made to workers' compensation programs throughout the world. This book is an invaluable reference source for anyone working in the areas of industrial relations, insurance, labor economics, and actuarial studies.

Until a few years ago I concentrated my attention on workers' compensa tion programs in the United States and Canada. Because the United States has 52 programs and Canada has eight, I was exposed to a diversity of approaches that caused me to believe that few other approaches existed. Since 1984 I have become more aware of what the rest of the world has been doing and discovered that my knowledge needed to be broadened significantly. The trigger action was a 1984 faculty research exchange agreement between Keio University in Tokyo and the University of Minnesota that made it possible for me to spend much of my time studying Japan's workers' compensation program and comparing it with the United States approaches. Japan's program had several features that I had not encountered in the United States or Canada. After this experience I attached considerably more value to and spent more time studying the Social Security Administration's biennial reports on Social Security Pro grams Throughout The World, which include workers' compensation programs. I also presented papers at two meetings of the International Insurance Society based on my Japanese and Social Security Adminis tration report research. Many participants urged further study in this area and offered to send me materials describing their nations' programs. The result is this study which I hope that readers will find interesting and worthwhile.
