Abstract
The social welfare system of Croatia is regulated by a number of legal and other relations that have recently been changed and amended several times. The new system of social welfare should be regulated by the constitutional decisions of the Republic of Croatia. The basic element of the new welfare system lies in the fact that the state guarantees the support for the weak, helpless and other unemployed or disabled citizens in satisfying the essential needs. Special care is given to the family, to physically and mentally damaged and socially neglected children, invalids, and parentless and abandoned children. Citizens have obliged themselves to solve the existing problems using their strengths and their family’s help. By contributing with their work, their property with their work, their property and other means, they also contribute to the elimination of their own social deprivation, as well as the deprivation of those they have to support. The rights that are proposed in the new law may by content be classified in three groups: the first on is directed to the counseling help and support for individuals and families in trouble, the second one consists of various types of financial aid and the third one refers to institutional help. Within the system of social welfare, a innovation is the regulation of the activities of religious, humanitarian and other legal and physical persons. The funds necessary for the social welfare activities regulated by the new law are included in the state budget of the Republic of Croatia.
