is a disease that threatens the health of individuals. Nowadays, increasing incidence of obesity in developed and developing
countries threatens many age groups from children to old age. Nonetheless, this disease, which has become one of the most
dangerous diseases of our age, is responsible for the economic cost of trillions of dollars worldwide. The increasing number of
obese individuals in the society is the result, social productivity is decreasing and health costs are increasing. Because of the
obesity of these people, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and similar diseases are also increasing the likelihood of getting caught.
Obesity-related diseases such as these can increase health expenditures. In addition, as a result of being overweight individuals
also decreased work productivity. The result of the decrease in productivity of the working population is decreasing economic
efficiency. All of these economic costs of obesity are defined as external costs.
External costs of obesity, creating a burden on the economies of countries emerges as a factor that distorts economic activity.
Therefore, stopping and reducing this cost increase is very important for increasing economic efficiency. Even achieving a
certain level of obesity in the country saves in the long term in the country's economy. For this reason, it is very important for
economic efficiency to determine the economic costs of obesity and to develop policy related it. The aim of this study is to
reveal the economic costs of obesity in the direction of academic studies. In line with this direction, global cost and external
costs of obesity in the various countries are discussed.

Yöntem: Obezite vergileri teorik temelde ele alınarak ülke uygulamaları üzerinde durulmaktadır.
Bulgular: Dünyadaki obezite vergisi uygulamalarına bakıldığında, son yıllarda obezite vergileri uygulayan ülke sayısı artmıştır. Birçok ülkede obezite vergilerinin pozitif etki yaratmasından dolayı dünya genelinde 22 ülke, obezite vergilerini bölgesel veya ulusal düzeyde çeşitli şekillerde uygulamakta veya uygulanmasını planlamaktadır. Anahtar kelimeler: Kamu müdahalesi, obezite vergisi, dışsal maliyetler, piyasa başarısızlığı.

Özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında toplumların ekonomik ve sosyal ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan bir araç olarak önem kazanmıştır. İzleyen dönemlerde, refah devletlerinde sosyal güvenlik sistemleri gelişmiş, sosyal güvenlik harcamaları artmıştır. Ancak 1973 Petrol Krizi'nden sonra yaşanan mali sorunlar, sosyal güvenlik harcamalarının artışını ve sosyal güvenlik sistemlerinin gelişimini sekteye uğratmıştır. Kriz, o dönemde, sosyal güvenlik sistemlerinde bir reform gerekliliğini ortaya çıkartmıştır. Bugün, devletler sosyal güvenlik reformlarına ilişkin oldukça duyarlı durumdadırlar ve toplumun tamamını kapsayan, kendi kendini finanse eden bir sosyal güvenlik sistemi geliştirme konusunda isteklidirler. Ancak, özellikle yaşlı nüfusun genç nüfustan fazla olması, aşırı boyutlardaki kayıt dışı ekonomi vb. sorunlar gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde sosyal güvenlik sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi ve sağlıklı sürdürülmesi açısından güçlüklere neden olmaktadır. Çalışmada gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde sosyal güvenlik harcamaları, ülkeler arasındaki sosyal güvenlik harcamaları farklılıkları ve sosyal güvenlik sistemlerine ilişkin sorunlar üzerinde durulmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: sosyal güvenlik, sosyal güvenlik harcamaları, refah, nüfus yapısı, ekonomi A Reflection on Social Security and Social Security Expenditures Abstract The term social security has emerged after the Industrial Revolution and it has become an important tool in providing the social and economic needs of societies following the second world war. In the postwar period, social security systems have further developed and social security expenditures have notably increased. Nevertheless, the financial problems that arose just after the 1973 Oil Shock have interrupted the boosting of social security expenditures and the evolution of social security systems. The subsequent depression has rendered a social security reform essential. Today, states address social security reforms in a sensitive way and they are more than willing to develop a social security system that encompasses the entire
