Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian Social Policy model is a mixture of increasing social expenses payed from the State, low social benefits and relatively high income inequality. This strange combination of peculiarities is a consequence of the try to stabilize without changing the market social policy model shaped during the 90s. The inclusion in the European transfer of social policies tends to support this situation. Because of specific European institutions it takes soft forms that change the ideas, lightly influence the practices and keep the models stable.
