That is why it is defined as "a philosophy, ideology, program to impact on demographics, employment of the population, level, lifestyle and quality of life of the population, its income level and structure of consumption of material and cultural wealth,... forms of social security, social services of the population,...provision of a targeted state aid to the most unprotected, vulnerable and poor parts of the population...the measures, aimed at creating conditions for self-protection, in order to maintain and raise the level of welfare...".

It is noteworthy that the scope of social policy includes a wide range of concepts (social protection, social security, social support, social self-protection, social assistance, quality of life) as defined in the said publication. Therefore, the content of social policy includes concrete actions of public authorities and non-state institutions, public associations, related to the implementation of tactical and strategic tasks aiming at harmonization of the public relations. Since in the basis of these relations are the people with their actions and skills, they become a crucial factor of the social policy.
