The end of the XX century and the beginning of the XXI century is bound with the creation of pursued social politics of European States and with the reforms striving to fight effectively with the poverty and to diminish unemployment level. The national social politics formed by States differently fulfils the prioritized aim – to assure welfare for every citizen. Some States solve these issues by the great social sphere influence, applying broad income redistribution and in this way assuring universal welfare for every citizen; others support the minimal influence positions of the State granting the minimal social securities and letting the free market function. Lithuania is not the exception – rejecting the Soviet social politics model and having the possibility to lean on the experience of old resident European Union countries, it searches for optimal “welfare model” that satisfies political, economical and social realia. This theme was chosen seeking to present the most reasonable “welfare model” for Lithuania according to the desirable objects that need to be achieved. The research object – “welfare models” existing in European Union. The work consists of 70 pages that include 11 tables, 25 images, 3 appendices and 40 literature and informational sources. |
