Summary
A widespread understanding connects the individual, respectively social security, too, with reaching the state of a guaranteed opportunity for meeting a particular level of socially accepted human needs in all life situations, including ones caused by contingent risks accompanying one’s daily life. Presented in such a way, this security has distinct economic dimensions. In a market economy, social insecurity of individuals increases. This brings to the foreground problems related to individuals’ security. Those who are competent to solve these problems are insurance companies, as well as pension and health insurance companies, whose activities in the outlined trend are the subject of the current research, first of its kind for the Bulgarian theory and practice.
