Summary/Abstract: The concept of the welfare state represents the evolution of the economic shaping of of social solidarity phenomenon. The welfare state was created to increase the well-being of the poor, weak or vulnerable and those belonging to neither social category, for whom the state provides public services and social security. Essentially, allocations for the state of social care and welfare represent a measure of institutionalized social empathy and solidarity. This concept affirms the role of economics as a science that must have the potential for good, as argued by Keynes, and which is human-centered in its essence. Furthermore, citizens’ identification with a certain state, beyond patriotic motives, depends on what that state provides for them. A significant demographic problem, exemplified by the high migration propensity, stems from the absence of state concern for people. In addition to familiarization oneself with the basic postulates and concept of the welfare state, the subject of this work will be an analysis of the legal basis of social benefits and other expenditures related to the welfare state in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This analysis will enable conclusions about the presence and level of development of the welfare state concept in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
