Social Security Law Understood is a study book by Hannie Geugjes, focused on social security within higher education. It addresses, in an accessible and practice-oriented manner, the regulations concerning social security, from the life cycle of ‘from the cradle to the grave’. Each chapter provides practice-oriented examples in which clients’ questions are central. The material is elaborated in a law-systematic and in-depth way, suitable for the study of social security law. Geugjes has extensive experience in legal aid and gave trainings in the field of labour law and social security. In addition, she was an associate professor of labour and social security law at the Institute for Law of Utrecht University of Applied Sciences. Social Security Law Understood is therefore a valuable reference work for students in higher education who want to delve into social security.
