Abstract

Although the social practices in the European Union cannot be seen as universal, social protection is at present the main focus of all social policies. Starting off from the variety of roles that the state can play as far as social policy is concerned and under the impact of the social and economic changes of recent years, throughout the European Union, social protection is seen as the main tool that helps ensure one of the universal fundamental rights of individuals, namely the right to social welfare. With a direct impact on the factors that adversely affect human existence, social policies, through social protection, try to reduce poverty, inequality and neutralize social injustice, by promoting social inclusion and ultimately human capital and individual productivity as a driver of future economic growth.
