Abstract: Activation is a relatively recent development in the decade-long process of welfare state building in Switzerland. Traditionally, like in most other continental European countries, social polices have been of a compensatory nature. Based on the social insurance framework, Swiss social protection has provided replacement income to those unable to work. Its coverage includes the key traditional social risks: old age, invalidity, industrial injury, sickness, long-term care and unemployment, which makes the Swiss welfare state a standard continental European social protection system1.
