Social Security System was formed in the twentieth century, when a social economic upturn, has become increasingly important to protect workers from risks posed by the social consequences. Social protection can be characterized as not only the state measure of social risk, but also as a guarantor, the law provided for the family to remove the case without means of subsistence. Social security is strongly influenced by economic indicators, the slowdown of the economy, increasing social security costs, countries have to reform the social security system. With these economic changes, social security system is constantly changing and unstable, although not lose its essence and achieve its goals. Social risks as a social institute, with defined boundaries, is intended for realized social security system. Social risk - the likelihood of events, from which results are provided for social security measures. Such a distinction is made between traditional social risks: old age (the age a person can not earn enough money), invalidity (partial or total working-age person inability to work), employment injuries and occupational diseases (acute worker health-threatening disruption of short-term, harmful effects of the working environment or negligence, for which the employee ceases to work), unemployment (as a working person does not have gainful employment and can not find it), maternity benefits (medical care during pregnancy and motherhood), health (patients treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of disease), family survivors (death may be the loss of livelihood for other dependents). Social risks can help identify the basic and most important cases in which a person loses the means of subsistence. When there is case of one of these risks are aimed one of the relative social security benefit. For example, in case of family survivors, shall be paid a survivor pension and orphan allowance. Most attention in public discussions attains old age social insurance and public pensions, maternity benefits, unemployment benefits and sickness benefits. As a result of existing social and economic situation in these areas are most vulnerable and waiting for reforms. Implementation of state social security scheme does not guarantee the benefits of risk for most of its participants. This shows the size of social security benefits cut. EU states social security benefits is significantly different from the Lithuanian social security benefit rates. This difference determines for different social security systems of organization and management. Also, a different part of the social security system includes social risk. |
