Social risks, as a part of the social environment with a negative impact, can have a great influence not only on satisfying the needs of individuals but also on the level of the whole society. Taking above-mentioned into consideration, one of the major tasks of social politics is to ensure the channelling of those risks through the system of social insurance. Bearing in mind that social risks represent the inevitable phenomenon in every country, the main task of this research paper is to show and explain the nature of social risks appearing in the European Union and Serbia, and also the way in which Serbia and certain EU countries prevent and resolve these risks through the policy of social insurance.
