Learning unit contents

The course focuses on the law of social benefits that provide a replacement income to workers in case of a social risk (unemployment, incapacity for work and old age). It compares the benefits offered by each of the three Belgian social security schemes, which are aimed at employees, self-employed persons and statutory employees respectively.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, students should be able to explain precisely the legal regime of a social benefit discussed during the course, to reason autonomously on a casus related to the subject and to propose reflections on the stakes of workers' social security.
