Socialinės politikos modeliai : dekomodifikacijos ir savarankiškai dirbančiųjų problemos

LTŠios monografijos tikslas – apibrėžti Lietuvos socialinės politikos modelį ir atskleisti vieno svarbiausiųjų socialinės rinkos ekonomikos elementų – dekomodifikacijos svarbą socialinėje apsaugoje. Dėl šiuolaikinės darbo rinkos pokyčių savarankiškai dirbančių asmenų tematiką ir šių asmenų socialinės apsaugos užtikrinimą reikėtų vertinti kaip perspektyvios socialinės politikos paiešką. Nors knyga pirmiausiai yra skiriama socialinių mokslų atstovams, joje pateikta analize taip pat gali naudotis socialinių ir humanitarinių mokslų pakraipos studentai, žurnalistai, politikai, administratoriai ir visi besidomintieji socialine problematika.

ENGenerally, the social policy model of Lithuania conforms to the Eastern European model, which may be defined either as a postcommunist conservative-corporative model, or liberal, or an intermediate between these two types. However, the Lithuanian model has certain specific features. After the restoration of independence, social policy in the Republic of Lithuania developed along two main lines: formation and carrying out of social policy and labour policy. The social security system consisted of two parts: 1) social insurance and 2) social support. Though the principles of universality and solidarity were declared, their implementation was only partial. A task to decentralise the social support system was set. After 1990-1991 the new national system of social security was designed on the basis of bismarckian principle of benefits related to the labour market. [...] The establishment of a social insurance fund independent of the state budget shows that in Lithuania social security was la bour-market-based. Fighting poverty was left to social support programmes. This is a typical feature of a conservative model. However, the "Lithuanian" corporative model was largely different from a typical bismarckian corporative model in Germany, Belgium or Luxembourg. The difference consisted in the clientelism and additional state benefits, which is characteristic of the models adopted in Eastern and Southern European and Latin American states. The representatives of social administration of Lithuania rejected the universal Nordic model of social policy. They „migrated ideologically and practically“ only between the bismarckian corporative and the liberal marginal model. Social security of corporative-clientelist type was developed in Lithuania.
