Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal law may finance an equalization scheme through employer and self-employed contributions, including use for self-employed benefits.
Decisão extraída
The canton may introduce a last equalization mechanism, but employer contributions under the federal family allowance system may not be used to finance benefits for self-employed persons outside that system.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 17(2)(k) FamZG authorizes a cantonal equalization among funds, yet self-employed persons are not part of the federal solidarity system; cross-financing from employer contributions to self-employed benefits is therefore incompatible with the federal scheme.
