Summary/Abstract: Transformation of Social Politics on the Background of Formation of New Social and Economic Structure. The article tries to explain the necessity of transformation in social politics. This necessity has been provoked by the two main conditions. The first one is the profound change of societal organization and the transformation of social and economic structures. The argument is that in the advance societies, the development of market economy is basically interrelated and mutually preconditioned with the development of social policy system. Social policy reform is therefore as much important as the reform of economy. The second condition is the objective to adapt Slovakian system of social politics to more general European context and approximate its principles. This objective is reasoned by the fact that certain social problems are common to all European societies and also by the fact, that the objective of the Slovak Republic is to enter the EU and therefore to meet the requirements in this domain.
