Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the importance, possibilities, forms, advantages and difficulties of comparative research in social policy, which becomes more and more actual in the world. This research is a prerequisite for scientific foundation of social policy and its successful conduct, i.e. set­ting and selection of actual social aims, as well as for representation of the most adequate instruments and measures for their achievement. There is an ever increasing scientific and practical need for compara­tive research of social policy. Therefore the issue of possibility for us­ing others’ experiences is suggested not only to theoreticians, but also to practitioners. Correct understanding of contemporary social policy requires both the knowledge of different systems of social policy and of their historical legacy. Connection and interdependence of contem­porary world requires knowledge and monitoring of developments in the world as a whole, and also in its certain parts.
