Against the background of a general decrease in the number of the population in Bulgaria, there is an increase in the number of people above working age. The share of citizens falling within the age group of 65 years or over is increasing. Poverty is a social phenomenon that affects, to a large extent, people above working age who are also more likely to have health problems. The problem deepens with elderly people living alone that cannot rely on family support. Experience shows that the state is unable to ensure, through its social policy, access to health care and decent life for many of these people. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to find ways that are compatible with the market economy and private initiative of citizens to ensure a better standard of living and access to health care for people above working age. Emphasis is placed on how insurance can support this process by performing its main function.

One of the fastest-growing high-tech industries using innovative technologies in the key sector of every economy such as energy and photovoltaic business, in particular, provides a basis for tracing the process of resource restructuring leading to transformations in the international division of labour and international manufacturing specialization, and thus to a change in international trading positions. Based on a retrospective analysis a methodological construction is developed, which provides basis for analysing the factors and monitoring the current process of international division of labour in the field of photovoltaic business. In this regard, its market and non-market incentives are observed with the idea to derive competitive advantages in international trade in photovoltaic systems.

Functional analysis is a tool for improving organizational functioning in the public sector. It is based on analysis in three directions: effectiveness, efficiency and relevance of work processes and functions. A new moment in its implementation is linking the work of the administration with the process of goal setting and implementation of policies led by state administration structures. This paper presents some specific concepts that need to be taken into account when performing functional analysis, as well as its relationship to the workflows in the administration, both organizational and customer-oriented. The basic prerequisites for performing quality functional analysis are outlined and a set of iterations of methodological nature for conducting such analysis in real working environment are proposed. The main contribution of this study is the iterative approach presented in four main stages for conducting functional analysis taking into account the specifics of public sector workflows. Reference is made to the follow-up functional analysis of the actions that need to be taken by the administrations in order to have a real effect on improving the performance of the public sector and reducing duplicate functions.
