The relevance of the study lies in the essential role of the social services sector in matters of sustainable economic development. The purpose of the article is to analyze the allocative efficiency of the activities of the social service entities. The methodology of allocative efficiency makes it possible to identify a model of the organizational and economic mechanism of the social services sphere, which implements the tasks of the most efficient use of limited resources. The research results show higher efficiency of government institutions, higher volume of services provided and lower costs per client. This feature is due to the relative mass of service and low costs for the provision of stationary premises, the use of a tender procurement system.

The article considers the role of social partnership in the modernization of the social service system for older people. It is noted that changes in the social sphere are necessary not because the social service system does not cope with its tasks, but because the changed reality, social problems and needs of older people make new demands on it.

Social service settings offer numerous complexities in their staffing, consumers, and payer mix that require careful consideration in designing dissemination and implementation efforts. However, social services’ unique access to vulnerable populations with health problems may prove vital in efforts to improve the health status of many of our citizens and reduce health disparities. While a number of well-developed, blended dissemination and implementation models are being used in social service settings, they all require additional documentation, research, and field experience. Nonetheless, the lessons learned in the social services may help organizations in other sectors better implement health interventions with complex consumers in complex settings.

Following on Felice Perlmutter's work on the managerial role of social workers in social services, this article contributes to the still limited knowledge on the role of social workers in middle-management positions in formulating new policies `on the ground`. The study expands knowledge about policies determined by team managers in local social service departments in Israel. It occurs in the nexus between street-level bureaucracy, professionalism and managerial positions. Semi-structured interviews with 28 team managers revealed that they formulated `new` policies with regard to the provision of psychosocial services and material assistance (who gets what, when and how). This occurs when they resist official policy, when it is vague or non-existent. Most of their policy decisions are not documented and draw upon consultations with colleagues and superiors though not with clients. The team managers perceive these policies as a means for achieving balance between clients' well-being and budgetary constraints. Yet their decisions lack transparency, are decided upon without public discourse and may lead to greater inequity between clients
