As is well known, nearly every country in the world will soon be facing very serious financial challenges in order to maintain the historically increasingly generous level of social insurance benefits (in the case of OECD countries), or to establish or expand nonexistent or minimalist social securit
Applications of mathematics to the social and behavioral sciences have burgeoned since the Second World War. Classical techniques of analysis have found wide application, particularly in economics; and in recent years applications of combinatorial mathematics have become increasingly common. Methods
A general concept is presented which allows of setting up mathematical models for stochastic and quasi-deterministic dynamic processes in social systems. The basis of this concept is the master equation for the probability distribution over appropriately chosen personal and material macrovariables
