v. social movements.
Regulations regarding- the period of transition. The law entered into force
■on the 1st January 1914.
Entirely excluded from insurance are the following classes: (1) Those who on
the 1st January 1914 have attained the age of 67, and (2) disabled persons who
have then attained the age of 15 and who in 1913 have for a total period of
more than 4 months been entirely supported by the poor-law guardians,
charitable institutions, or private persons.
The pension increment or relief is reduced, in accordance with a certain
scale, for those so entitled during the years from 1914 to 1918. In 1919 the
■reduction is entirely abolished and the pension increments are paid in full.
The fee pension is reduced for those who on the 1st January 1914 have
attained the age of 25, the percentage at which the fee pension is estimated
being lowered for those above that age, according to a fixed scale.
Charitable Foundations and Institutions, Donation Funds, etc.
Donations for various purposes, such as scholarship funds, pension
funds, sick benefit funds, and similar institutions have, according to the
practice followed in certain Swedish reports, been grouped together under
the designation of "fromma, stiftelser", which corresponds pretty nearly
to what in English would be called "charitable institutions".
However, these institutions are of such a very miscellaneous character,
that it is quite misleading to lump them together in this manner. Thus,
for instance, one sees frequently included among "charitable institutions"
sick benefit and burial funds, pension funds, and other funds that are
supported by the members’ own contributions, and which therefore can
only be reckoned among "charitable institutions" by a rather violent
stretch of language. It is, however, fair to add that certain of these funds
have received donations, or are in receipt of aid from the State, from
employers, etc., whereby their character of "self-aid" institutions is to a
certain degree modified. The various funds referred to above will be found
dealt with under separate sections.
Other kinds of "charitable institutions" returns of which were made in 19051
are distributed as follows, according to the object of the institution.

1905 are not available for all such institutions.
