Abstract: The emergence of the welfare status is considered an aspect of a much larger process of modernization, being historically associated with the extension of political citizenship and especially with the rapid spread of universal suffrage, and, therefore, with the development of mass political parties. In contemporary society, social policies, with specialized programs and services for the population, and in many countries and through the volume of financial resources allocated, occupy, by far, the first place within the public policies, respectively in the public budget. According to the conditions set out in the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), in order to ensure the well-being of citizens at European level, Member States have committed to maintain the budget deficit and the public debt under certain limits: the budget deficit of a Member state cannot exceed 3% of GDP, while its public debt cannot exceed 60% of GDP.
