The document discusses social security and social insurance measures. It defines social security as security provided by society against certain risks like sickness, invalidity, maternity, old age, and death. There are two plans for social security - social insurance and social assistance. Social insurance involves community pooling of resources and tripartite contributions from employees, employers, and the state. It provides benefits as a right, not proportional to contributions. Social security schemes in India cover industrial workers, civil servants, and the general public. Social security schemes in Kerala provide pensions and financial assistance for widows, the disabled, unemployed, and families below the poverty line.
