Abstract: The current social protection system in Croatia is a mix of old and new programs that are continuously being reformed in response to changing social needs and opportunities to provide social transfers or services more efficiently. In the paper after introduction remarks, theoretical framework on social transfers is provided. Economic growth and poverty indicators are explained in Section 2, while Section 3 is dedicated to the trend of total social costs in Croatia. International comparisons and analysis of social transfer efficiency in Croatia are given in Section 4. Section 5 is devoted to conclusion and recommendations with priority of better adjustment of social transfers towards most vulnerable groups.
