Aim and objectives of the thesis: The accomplished doctoral research is aimed at the complex, critical and multidimensional analysis of the social assistance institution in the Republic of Moldova through the prism of the national and international sources of the doctrinaire opinions in order to identify the degree of compatibility of the national legislation with the social standards established in the European Union. The most important objectives are: the identification of the research degree of the social assistance institution within the national and international doctrine; the analysis of the right to social assistance through the prism of national, European and international mechanisms; the examination of the evolution of regulations concerning the establishment and development of social assistance in Moldova; defining of the “social assistance institution”; the establishment of the aims and objectives and the outlining of the legal particularities that delimit the mentioned institution from other legal institutions; the analysis of the forms of social assistance and highlighting the legal, institutional and financial problems that affect the process of granting social assistance; the analysis of the legal regulations regarding the providing of social assistance by the member states of the European Union; the characterization of the EU recommendations provided to Member States aiming at the establishing of an adequate, fair and combined minimum income combined with the active reintegration measures into society.

The scientific novelty of the obtained results: Our research in the field of social assistance is one of the first scientific papers that exhaustively and complexly analyzes the forms of social assistance through the prism of a legal-comparative analysis of national legislation with the social legislation of the European Union, identifying the best social practices applicable in the European space. There have been also formulated several recommendations in order to complete the normative framework that regulates social assistance and proposals of ferenda law which, in our opinion, have a pertinent and reasoned character, and which can also contribute to the improvement and modernization of the local social legislation so that the normative framework of this institution responds to the challenges facing the social field in our country.

The scientific problem solved consists in the analysis of the social assistance institution through the prism of the national and European legal instruments, with the aim to determine the degree of compatibility of the legislative framework in the field of social assistance, which allowed us to highlight the prospects of modernizing and streamlining of national social legislation in accordance with European and international social standards and trends.

Theoretical significance of the thesis consists in the examination of the impact of social policies on the standards of life of social assistance beneficiaries, as well as the establishing of the perspectives for their improvement based on the social practices successfully implemented by the member states of the European Union.

Applicative value of the thesis, the elaborated scientific approach can certainly serve as teaching material for students of law, public administration and social assistance, but also for specialists working in the field of social assistance. In addition, we believe that this legal investigation will serve as a starting point for research for other PhD students and specialists in the field of social protection and assistance.
