Social Status of an Employee in the Context of Social Legislation

Abstract

The sustained social instability, decline of the moral values and disrespect for the natural and economic regularities in the human activity have a very adverse impact on the social conditions of people. The states, seeking for redress, extend to the measures that multiply insecurity, disturb social ties in the society, and lower the existing guarantees of the humanly dignified life. The paper aims at naming and analysing basic facts which adversely affect relations between economic and social development of the society. The Authors warn against the ignorance of respecting the reached standards of the social rights, the departure from keeping social cohesion and absolute preference for economic goals without any respect for the social needs. On the ground of labour relations of nowadays the article points on a new face of social problems based on the opinion of its Authors. They point out the hidden forms of exploitation of an employed man in the modern society, in which the elements of disrespect for the uniqueness of the human being, its education and needs occur due to the intensification of economic and financial crisis. At last the paper also analyses the balance of the principle of solidarity and merit at setting the pension scheme within the scope of the social policy implementation and points on possible impacts of it in the future. The Authors invite to a discussion on their thoughts on the social function of the social security law presented in this paper
