Social Security in the Balkans - Volume 1 offers a comprehensive overview of social security in the Balkan states. Social security is presented from a broad perspective as a mechanism that addresses human needs, provides protection against social risks, reduces social tensions, and secures peace.

Various sectors of social policy, such as pension systems, health care systems, disability insurance, and labour policy, as well as social risks like poverty and unemployment, have been analysed from historical, economic, political, sociological, and security perspectives. The book also offers recommendations for improving the level of social security in the region.
