Large urban centres developed rapidly, densely populated by labourers whose housing conditions were largely inadequate and their wages insufficient. Business owners, town councils as well as state authorities noticed the growing risk of an epidemic and increasing social unrest which could lead to bloodshed.}, abstract={To alleviate the problems they developed a system of social insurance (Health Funds).
