as well as economic policy. It is the security that the state furnishes against the risks which an
individual of small means cannot today.
Stand up to by himself or even in private combination with his fellows. The concept of social
security is essentially related to the high ideals of human dignity and social justice. In a welfare
State, comprehensive social security schemes take care of person from ‘womb to tomb’. 2
According to ILO “Social security is the security that social furnishes, through appropriate
organisation, against certain risks to which the individual of small means cannot effectively
provide by his own ability or foresight alone or even in private combination with his fellows.”

invalidity, maternity, employment injury, unemployment, old age, death and emergency
expenses.
