Tomáš Sirovátka

The main goals of transformation of social security systems in transition countries have been defined as follows: more transparency and better targeting which is - considering cost efficiency requirement - necessary condition to protect the citizens against the newly emerging social risks. The question how far the effects of social security system transformation correspond to these claims seems to be extremely politically significant.
