The German ministry for education and science (BMBF) has published a study in which it puts forward a Chinese-style social credit system for Germany.
A translated quote from the long version on an official BMBF https://www.vorausschau.de/vorausschau/de/home/home_node.html#zukuenfte (the web site's design is atrocious, trying to find the information is quite difficult).
``Highly controversial at the beginning, the bonus point system is largely accepted in the 2030s. It establishes new norms in everyday life that were not possible before. The participatory development of the rules also ensures greater acceptance among the population. Approval of the bonus system is growing, particularly in view of the increasing dynamics of climate change. A point-based evaluation, for example, the of ecological footprint -- helps to make the polluter-pays principle transparent.''
Participation in the point system would be voluntary in the sense that not participating would bring very real drawbacks. Another quote:
``The bonus system is also helpful for the labor market, which continues to suffer from a shortage of skilled workers. system is helpful. It helps to identify qualification potential and efficiently organize the spatial mobility of the workforce.''
So, not participating would lead to lower chances of getting a job.
China is explicitly mentioned as a role model.

Ciao, ho dato un'occhiata perché mi sembrava molto interessante,ma, se ho ben individuato e compreso quanto scritto sul sito,si tratta di un'esercizio che mira a delineare diversi possibli scenari,senza per questo proporli come auspicabili. _Future of values in our country_ _ _ _Modern societies are not only characterized by different lifestyles, but also by a multitude of values. Our actions are embedded in a framework of cultural influences, attitudes and interests - and have a decisive influence on technological and social developments.__ _ _And incisive, collectively relevant events - for example the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 or the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011 - have an impact on the development of a society.__ _ _In order to gain a preview of possible future value landscapes, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) commissioned the study “The future of values of people in our country”. Your goal: to show which futures are possible.__ _ _ __ _ _The study derives six scenarios based on values - including, for example, the “bonus system”, “tempo differences” and a “return of the blocks”. Find out more and click through the individual elements - or take a look at the full or short version of the study._ (tradotto con Google Translate) Buona giornata, Federico @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536870145 1107305727 0 0 415 0;}@font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-536859905 -1073732485 9 0 511 0;}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}.MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} On 16/7/2021 at 11:18 AM, "Diego.Latella" wrote: FYI _[The following has been reused without explicit authorization under blanket permission granted for all Risks-Forum Digest materials.

[...] Lo sviluppo non è del tutto inaspettato e non è limitato alla Germania (o alla Cina)... e il sistema non è nemmeno del tutto nuovo, solo più INCASINATO. https://web.archive.org/web/20180219161634/https://global.handelsblatt.com/p... «Germany edges toward Chinese-style rating of citizens» Heike Jahberg Published on February 17, 2018 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- It sounds like some drastic, Orwellian version of the future. But as Mr. Gigerenzer notes, we in western countries are not as far from such a system as we might like to think. In Germany, he points out, it starts out with the universal credit rating system known as a Schufa. Very much like its US counterpart FICO, Schufa is a private company that assesses the creditworthiness of about three-quarters of all Germans and over 5 million companies in the country. Anyone wanting to rent a house or loan money is required to produce their Schufa rating in Germany – or their FICO score in the US. Additionally, factors like “geo-scoring” can also lower your overall grade if you happen to live in a low-rent neighborhood, or even if a lot of your neighbors have bad credit ratings. In other areas, German health insurers will offer you lower premiums if you don’t get sick as much. They may offer you even better premiums if you share data from your fitness-tracking device to show you’re doing your part to stay healthy. Anyone using websites like Amazon, eBay or Airbnb is asked to rate others and is rated themselves. Those who try to avoid being rated are looked at askance. An increasing number of consumers will be denied certain services or, say, mortgages if they don’t present some kind of rating. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Saluti, Giovanni. -- 380° (Giovanni Biscuolo public alter ego) «Noi, incompetenti come siamo, non abbiamo alcun titolo per suggerire alcunché» Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
