Social protection Institute of the Republic of Slovenia

The Social Protection Institute of the Republic of Slovenia was founded in 1996 by the Republic of Slovenia. On its behalf the executive rights and obligations are carried out by the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities (MLFSA). In 2004 the Child Observatory joined the Research Department.

In accordance with its annual plan the Institute creates and maintains a variety of databases for social assistance and social services including development and experimental programmes. The Institute monitors the implementation of a number of government programmes by establishing specialised systems of indicators and provides informational support for them by collecting and analysing data. For the purposes of effective decision-making it provides expert opinions on a number of government measures and advises the MLFSA.
