title: [Minimal monetary insurance for the elderly--systematic overview of current regulations and recommendations for an alternative model].
abstract: This contribution adds to the intensive discussion about a suitable reform of the German old-age security system with regard to the aim of poverty avoidance. Starting from a multitude of existing and alternatively proposed models, basic forms of a minimum-income protection for the elderly are distinguished by select criteria. The resulting systematic survey is intended as a basis for comparative analyses of economic effects. The results could substantially support the necessary political decision-making process.
