Summary/Abstract: The concept and related discourse of social investments is emerging in the studies on the developments of the welfare state as well as in the agenda of the European Commission in recent years. This is an expression of the effort to streamline social policies that way in which it could meet demands on the increasing requirements on human capital developments, high level of employment and social protection as well as the requirements of balanced public budgets and support to economic growth. This paper assesses the progress in the selected areas of the Czech welfare state in the crisis period and beyond (2008−2014) in this new perspective. Various statistical sources, documents by the ministries, the government and European Commission, institutional analysis of the policy process and its outputs are employed.
