Summary (English)
This paper reviews the recent literature analyzing economic implications of selected social securityprogrammes implemented at least at the scope and levels required by the respective ILO Conventions.
The review is limited to three branches of social security as defined by ILO Convention no 102 (Minimum Standards): old-age, invalidity and unemployment. Additionally, it looks also at impact of policy measures other than just cash benefits to unemployed, namely various labour market policies (so called "active") which are covered by Employment Promotion and Protection againstUnemployment Convention no 168 (1988).
