This article discusses the ways in which the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic has embodied to the political choices made during the process of creating and defining a democratic welfare state and how the various constitutional principles are reflected in the architecture of the system and have gradually changed over the years. The authors argue that when Portugal transitioned to democracy, unlike other areas of the country’s social policies the social security system retained some of its earlier organising principles. Having said this, this resilience on the part of the Portuguese system’s Bismarckian template has not prevented social protection from expanding here in accordance with universal principles, and has given successive governments manoeuvring room in which to define programmatically distinct policies and implement differentiated reformist strategies. The paper concludes by arguing that while the Constitution has not placed an insurmountable limit on governments’ political action, it has served as a point of veto, namely by means of the way in which the Constitutional Court has defended the right to social protection, be it in the form of social insurance, be it in the imposition of certain social minima.

AbstractThis chapter discusses the general legal framework regulating Russia’s welfare system and access for national citizens, foreigners residing in the country, and national citizens residing abroad to social benefits in five policy areas: unemployment, health care, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. Our analysis shows that the eligibility of Russian nationals for social benefits depends either on their employment status and contribution record (for pensions and other social insurance benefits), or their residence status (for social assistance and healthcare). The overall level of social protection of citizens residing in different parts of the country may differ substantially due to the decentralized structure of the social protection system in Russia. The rights of foreign residents to social security benefits are essentially the same as those of the nationals, as long as they are legally employed and make social security contributions. However, there are two major exceptions: pensions and unemployment benefits. Social assistance benefits provided at the regional level are typically available to all legal residents, foreigners included, with few exceptions. When deciding to permanently move abroad, Russian citizens lose their entitlement to claim social benefits from Russia, apart from acquired contributory public pensions.

Introduction. Achieving public welfare is impossible without an effective social protection system, which combines pension insurance, social insurance, health care, as well as material support in difficult life situations. Low budget funding for social protection of population necessitates the use of insurance instruments to neutralize major social risks. However, the role of social and personal insurance in the financial provision of social protection remains insufficient, and its potential in improving the welfare of Ukrainians is underestimated. However, the role of social and personal insurance in the financial provision of social protection remains insufficient, and its potential in improving the welfare of Ukrainians is underestimated. The purpose is to define the role and outline the prospects for the development of social and personal insurance in the context of ensuring public welfare in Ukraine. Results. The essence and main components of social welfare are revealed. It was found that the level of well-being of Ukrainians is ten times lower than in European countries. There are the main negative factors which influence the social protection system defined, in particular: low income and rising expenditures of the Pension Fund of Ukraine and the Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine, the widespread practice of minimizing SSPs by refusing to enter into classic employment contracts in favor of civil agreements with individual entrepreneurs, reduction of the number of insured persons working for hire, high level of labor emigration of Ukrainians. The health care system impact on the growth of public welfare in Ukraine is analyzed. The inefficiency of the current financial support model of the health care system is substantiated, which makes it necessary for households to pay for most of the cost of medical services. Tendencies in the development of the domestic health insurance market are highlighted. Perspectives. It is proposed to revise the principles of building accumulative pension insurance and introduce a budget-insurance model of financing the health care system, which will help to improve the welfare of the population of Ukraine.
