The Beveridge's National Minimum is similar to that of S & B.Webb in that it aimed to resolve simultaneously labor and social problems. That is, it considered maintenance of employment=creation of means for contribution, and avoidance of dependency → ensuring the national minimum (ie, sustaining poverty line)=standardized labor force, floating labor markets and stability of purchasing power by built-in stabilizer → maintenance of employment. Beveridge's contribution was to extend the concept of the national minimum constructed by S & B. Webb in order to realize what they termed 'upward ways'. The extension was intended to solve the problems of the wants resulting from interruption or loss of earnings which S & B. Webb had not assumed will occur. But, he failed to secure adequately national minimum because of trade-off between benefit level and universal coverage in his flat rate systems. This was because fundamentally his scheme was premised on maintenance of full time employment. In 50 years after the publication of his report, this premise has became increasingly more difficult to sustain. To overcome its limits, we have to change Beveridge's scheme's central principle - the insurance based systems.
