Abstract In this article, we examine the essential role of law in achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following the World Health Organization’s broad definition of health, all SDGs can be seen to impact on human health and hence the health goal (SDG3) should be right at the centre of the entire 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We note recent research on the contribution of law, including international human rights law, to achieving health for all and discuss the role of law in addressing seven emerging health challenges. Law can and should play an important role in achieving all health-related SDGs, by respecting, protecting and fulfilling the right to health, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the challenges in complying with principles of gender balance in the exercise of the right to work in the framework of international gender standards adopted by Ukraine. Given current development stage of Ukrainian society along with issues of economic stabilization, it is equally important to ensure Ukraine's transition to sustainable social development, which in turn requires public policy making with due regard given to gender component, i.e., evaluation of public policy strategy in terms of gender equality. Shaping and improving public's understanding of the objectives of state policy in the field of gender equality contributes to achieving Global Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed by the UN and supported by Ukraine in accordance with the Decree of the President of Ukraine "On Sustainable Development Goals until 2030". National Action Plan for the Implementing Recommendations Set Out in the Final Observations of UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women to the Eighth Periodic Report of Ukraine on the Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women for 2021 was approved. According to Global Report of the World Economic Forum, in 2019 Ukraine ranked 59th (out of 153 countries) as to gender gap index. Education and health indicators are high, but political involvement and economic opportunities are declining. Manifestations of inequality, gender discrimination and violence are present in public life - these are gender stereotypes that are often played down in Ukrainian society, which is a negative trend. Along with having strong women's movement and women's organizations in Ukraine, it is necessary to recognize insufficient number of organizations focusing on protection of men's rights, which may be a consequence of de facto absence public discussions about discrimination against men. In view of the above, it should be noted that achieving gender balance is not only an international legal obligation, it is also necessary to achieve the goals of national development of our state. Implementation of basic principles of gender issues is a fundamental factor in protecting labor rights as well as the basis for building a safer society and strengthening the rule of law. Based on the results of the analysis, a number of respective measures aimed at ensuring gender balance in Ukraine were identified. The norms of the current legislation, the ILO Convention and EU anti-discrimination directives related to gender issues are analyzed. Indicators of gender inequality in Ukraine were studied in accordance with UN and the State Statistics Committee data.

The Right

No state can achieve the Sustainable Development Goals without providing its citizens with decent, safe and affordable housing. The housing issue remains one of the major problems of urban economies. Sustainable development goals can only be achieved by recognizing the human right to decent housing. The purpose of the work is to determine the essence and content of the concept of "decent housing" for the preparation and adoption of relevant regulations. The right to housing is one of the most important inherent human rights, it is defined as a legal opportunity to protect their right not only to housing, which can even be a box from household appliances, but also to a suitable one that would correspond to the modern conception of man, his honor and dignity. Adequate housing (if necessary) should be habitable in terms of protecting residents from cold, dampness or other health threats, structural hazards and disease carriers. Adequate housing should be located in a place that allows access to employment, health care, schools and other social facilities. The existence of mutual influence of poor living conditions and violation of human dignity, human rights and freedom is indicated, namely that poor living conditions of the person are an obstacle to the use of basic services, which undermine the right to education, health care and employment. This can lead to a closed circle of vagaries and misdeeds, thereby securing segregation in the social sphere and places of residence. Therefore, this, in turn, can create permanent inequality, which will be particularly difficult to overcome. The right to normal housing should be subject to justice so that people can go to court if they are unable to access adequate housing. A decent housing should provide for the absence of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If a person lives in the conditions that temporarily or permanently deprive them of any of his natural senses (vision, hearing, spatial or temporal orientation) and cause stress, fear or anxiety, it can humiliate or offend them, break their physical or moral resistance. The existence that humiliates one’s dignity is when a person feels humiliated in front of others or has to act against the will or conscience to improve living conditions. Thus, the definition of "decent housing" should cover requirements that take into account the sanitary, technical conditions of human existence, but each state, taking into account the socio-economic status and cultural characteristics, considers the limits and possibilities of their guarantee.

The article considers the processes of effective modernization of society and development of youth policy, in the context of increasing sustainability in the framework of achieving 11 EU youth goals of the EU Youth Strategy for 2019–2027 and 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (CSDs). The comparison takes place in the context of the interaction of youth and society in Europe to meet the needs and problems of young people, overcoming socio-economic and democratic isolation. The EU Youth Strategy for 2019–2027 aims to improve cooperation between policy areas, in particular through the EU Youth Coordinator; giving young people the right to vote in EU policy-making; control of EU spending on youth; launching a new and more inclusive youth dialogue in the EU; promoting volunteer mobility and unity; implementation of a program for young people to promote the recognition of non-formal learning; strengthening the link between EU youth policy and relevant EU programs. The analysis of compliance of the goals of sustainable development and youth goals of the EU is carried out. The goals are united in the following social spheres of influence on society and youth. At the micro level, the following four spheres are distinguished: health, decent work, quality education, protection of rights and gender equality. The following areas are identified at the meso level: "Sustainable Partnership, Support and Participation of Youth" and "Peace and Justice". At the macro level, the following two areas can be identified: "Ecosystem Conservation" and "Innovation, Infrastructure". Achieving goals in these areas, young people influence the preservation of the world, create a future for themselves and also feel part of a sustainable, high-quality ecosystem. Innovation, quality infrastructure, meeting the needs of health, education, quality work and protection of rights gives young people confidence and inspires them to new achievements.
