Socialinės apsaugos teisės principų samprata ir jų reikšmė reguliuojant socialinės apsaugos santykius

The depolitization principle of the retirement provisions means that retirement provisions shall be implemented on the base of objective criteria of the existing needs, rather than on the interests of particular parties or representatives of particular professions etc. The valorization principle of the pension means that the value of the pension has to be corrected following the inflation processes, so their real value would not decline. In author's view every of these principles is being contravened in today's Lithuania's social security system. Some of the pension provisions are not in accordance with actual situation. By discussing every of the indicated principles the author gives reasoned suggestions, how the particular provisions should be amended, so they would proper reflect the actual circumstances of contemporary social relations.
