Abstract: The social policy is an ensemble of public policies pursuing the accomplishment of social protection and wealth. In Romania, the social protection strategy targets the following directions: protecting the employee trough an appropriate legislation; protecting the disadvantaged social groups; satisfying collective necessities (education, health, culture, etc.); protecting the population against pathological social processes (alcoholism, drug consume, etc.). An important role in the social protection has the social security. It’s a system formed from elements used to ensure the existence of resources necessary for people that are confronted with social risks like unemployment, sickness, old age, insufficient or no income and supporting families with more than one child. These resources can be cash benefits in form of aids (allocations, indemnities, pension), free goods or with partial payment, reductions or exemptions from taxes. The Romanian security system is characterized trough insufficient resources necessary to ensure the existence of some categories of poor citizens.
