The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the complex issue of the relationships between social security, national saving and economic development. A description of the wide range of differing practices in the field of social protection constitutes the introductory part of the analysis. This is followed by a discussion of financing techniques and investment possibilities open to social security schemes. The debate on the relationships between social security and saving is illustrated by a survey of various empirical investigations reported in the relevant literature. The discussion ends with some reflections on the role of social security in the development process.
