Zusammenfassung:The process of transition in Albania is linked with several very special problems in the economic as well as in the social sphere. One of the crucial fields is the system of social security, even after its reform in 1994. The paper investigates the deficits in the institutional frame of the system of social security & identifies some incentives which undermine the system. The most difficult problems financing the system of social security in Albania are a weak trust in institutions in general & a strong preference for activities in the shadow-economy. Tables.
