Abstract

Development of social security is unfortunately conditioned by restrictions of an economic nature follow principally from the inadequacy of available resources. Social insurance is therefore facing serious problems in redistributing resources and it has a need to redefine its field of action in a manner which takes into account the different economic situations.

The rapid development of Greek social insurance and particularly of pension benefits, which have occurred over the last decade, cannot be maintained. The problems facing the Greek social insurance system are easy to identify, but for political reasons, nobody has been prepared to face them and take the necessary action.

My aim is to contribute to the knowledge of Greek social insurance problem-solving.

I find that writing about the British, American and Spanish social security systems is a good way to gain perspective on one's own and I have learned a good deal about my own country's social insurance system from these comparisons.

My long standing research interest in the economics of social insurance in Greece is reflected in the last and most important part of my thesis
