Abstract
The author defines the role and position of insurance industry as an important mechanism for the provision of social, economic and business aspects of security in contemporary society (in this case in Slovenia). The author took part in the research SJM 200L12 with a number of questions concerning the insurance industry for the needs of the research project "Insurance industry as a mechanism for the provision of security of an individual in contemporary society". Based on analyzed results of the research, the author confirmed the basic thesis that the insurance industry is an important mechanism for providing security in contemporary society. Despite many other developed forms of financial mediation, the insurance industry is, at this point, absolutely irreplaceable because apart from its financial investment role it also covers the function of eliminating consequences in case of damage, whether it concerns people or property, i.e. property interests.
