Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author comparatively analyses the development of welfare mix in Croatia, Poland and Hungary. After the collapse of communism the systems of social policies are in incremental changes. Beside the overall domination of state and state agencies in delivering social services, non-profit organisations and private commercial organisations are emerging and developing. Conceptual and methodological problems of the development of welfare mix, as well as the results of recent research are presented. The political context of debates on social issues is very important for social policy development. We are making conclusions on the development of programmes of welfare mix based on the analysis of systems of social security: system of social care, pension insurance, unemployment insurance, health insurance, family benefits, and child’s allowance.
