Abstract: Social protection is a duty of the community to its members in penalizing situation despite their willingness to contribute to the progress of society. Using a documentary review and an historical and comparative analysis, this article presents, through a descriptive way, how this phenomenon evolved during the last century in the developed countries in general and in France mainly. It also connects the notion of poverty and inequality and shows how France is positioning itself in new social risks. It appears that French architecture rules out some of them. However, the reforms of the social protection system initiated in France since the beginning of the 1980s attest to the willingness of civil society and public authorities to integrate the transformations of the social environment into policies.
