Description The article discusses the development of social security system in Lithuania at the end of XIX c. and at the beginning of XX c. The country had three different periods of governance: Russian Tsar (1795-1915 m.), German occupation (1915-1918 m.) and Independent Lithuania (1918-1939 m.). Each period influenced the development of social security system in Lithuania.The main social problems, institutions responsible for their solutions and the main legal documents of all three periods are analysed in the article.Two types of dominating social problems of these periods could be differentiated. There were social problems relevant to all periods, such as begging, prostitution, and epidemics. However, each period had specific social problems, such as the flow of refugees after the First World War, returning from exile and others.Russian and German governments established various state institutions, which were responsible for social problems solutions in the country. Nevertheless, they were not able to improve social situation in Lithuania.The first successful attempts were made in Independent Lithuania. Government passed important legal acts and founded state bodies for social security protection.Different governments made various efforts in order to better social situation in the country and shaped development of social security system in Independent Lithuania period.
Straipsnyje analizuojamos socialinės apsaugos formavimosi prielaidos XIX a. pab.–XX a. pr. Lietuvoje. Vienas iš šio reiškinio ypatumų yra nestabili politinė situacija – šalis tuo metu buvo valdoma trijų skirtingų valdžių: rusų (1795–1915 m.), vokiečių (1915–1918 m.) ir lietuvių (1918–1939 m.). Visos jos turėjo reikšmės socialinės apsaugos sistemos kūrimui nepriklausomoje Lietuvoje. Remiantis to meto šaltiniais, dabartiniais moksliniais darbais, straipsnyje aptariamos aktualios XIX a. pab.–XX a. per. socialinės problemos, socialinius reikalus tvarkančių institucijų veikla bei pirmieji įstatymai socialinės apsaugos srities klausimais. Straipsnio aktualumą nulemia tyrėjų dėmesys socialinei situacijai, ryškėjantis tik politinis-ekonominis arba kultūrologinis požiūris į to laikotarpio realijas, nepabrėžiant socialinio tyrinėjamo reiškinio aspekto.
