The concept of social security and social security law

Abstract

Through this paper I tend to make a contribution to the study of social security and social security law, from a conceptual aspect. For this, I recover the opinions of important authors in the referenced scientific field, and I make some personal contributions aimed at broadening the ontological analysis of those fields that, although located in the same field, impose some identity clarifications among themselves, as well as explain the incidence of other figures or specific punctual institutes. The selected methodology is based, therefore, on a bibliographic review, and on a brief note of current regulations. After the development, I conclude regarding the crucial importance of social security and its current legal regulations, the leading role of politics in this field, and the need to conceive and study that discipline from an expanded position.
