National Insurance In 1911 the
Asquith government passed the National Insurance Act—Health and Unemployment, which introduced sickness and unemployment benefits to be paid for out of employers' and employees' contributions. This was the beginning of the contributory, non‐means‐tested half of the British social security system; in 1925 state insurance for contributory old‐age pensions was added. The 1946 National Insurance Act established a comprehensive national social insurance scheme: employers, employees, and the self‐employed were to make contributions, which would make the insured and their families eligible for benefits when they suffered the contingencies insured against—unemployment, sickness, widowhood, and old age.
