The Protection Ability of the Main Social Assistance Benefits within the Romanian Social Security System since 1989

Summary/Abstract: Communist welfare system has played an important role in preventing and combating poverty and, accordingly, social exclusion, being more efficient than the current social security system to providing replacement income of wage earnings for those who are unable to work because of old age, disability or illness, as well as to encouragement of births by supplementing the income of families with children, through various supportive measures, by providing free health care. After the Romanian Revolution of December 1989, social security has undergone numerous transformations generated by the decline in the standard of living, inflation, rising unemployment, deepening poverty and extending it to the blankets of the broader population. By using the analysing of these indicators and the comparison with the previous regulations as methodology, the authors intended to measure Romanian social assistance system’s performance and determine the causes of non-performance.
