The aim of the study is to assess the level of social security in the Republic of Bashkortostan to determine the most possible social risks and develop recommendations for their minimization. The authors use methods of statistical analysis, calculation and analysis of social, economic, demographic indicators and materials provided by the Russian region. According to the results of the study, the authors determined the actual values of indicators that determine the level of social security of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2015–2019 and revealed deviations from the threshold values of indicators with a trend of exceeding and decreasing. The study concludes that the most significant risks for the social security of the region are a noticeable increase in problems associated with material and social inequality, an increase in urbanization, an aging population and an increase in economic migration. The results of scientific research and the model of social security developed on their basis can be used by regional executive bodies performing functions for the development and implementation of state policy, in the legal regulation of the social sphere, in the development of measures to minimize social protection risks.

A renewed look at informal social protection may offer an effective option for addressing vulnerability among elderly Nigerians. This follows the need to overcome both current, and potential challenges in elder vulnerability, related to population aging. The main argument posed by this article is that, social protection in Nigeria has traditionally ignored the elderly, right from its colonial roots. Subsequent governments have also ignored the elderly in social policy, and social protection programmes. As a result, social vulnerability seems synonymous with old age among Nigerians. This article maintains that, as a phenomenon that requires attention, elderly vulnerability in relation to population aging, can be approached by strengthening informal social protection. Importantly, where necessary, a synergy should be innovated between formal and informal social protection systems. The framework for analysis was sourced from aging and modernization theory. The integration of these perspectives explains why formal social protection has rendered the elderly in Nigeria more vulnerable. The framework also justified the need for resorting to potentialities, within informal social protection. It was highlighted that, informal social protection can serve as an option for addressing elderly vulnerability, based on a subjective analysis of the wide range of traditional informal strategies available, within Nigerian communities. However, the analysis was limited to modernization theory, while a wider more comprehensive analysis could be attained by the integration of other theories

This article explores some of the shared dimensions of fragility experienced by Myanmar and Nepal to illuminate the challenging contexts in which social protection policies and programmes have taken shape. Both countries have adopted a universalist, rights-based vision in their approaches to social protection, with social pensions and child benefits at the forefront of social protection programming. At the same time, both countries are employing incremental strategies to overcome political, social, and administrative obstacles, while demonstrating that fiscal space is available. The politics of social protection policy making are obvious, and consistent engagement by progressive social policy advocates in these countries will be necessary to seize opportunities, and to ensure continued investment in building inclusive, effective, and accountable social protection systems.

Introduction. In the economy, the social protection system is regarded as an important part of the social policy of the state, but there are some differences between the definitions of the concept of "social protection" and "social security". The article analyzes the modern definitions of social protection, on various grounds, outlines their features. According to the results of the research, the necessity to consider social protection as part of the social policy of the state from the point of view of macro- and microeconomics was proved. Generalization and systematization of theoretical bases on these issues is of practical value and will help to outline the main ways to improve and form an effective system of social protection of the state. The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the theoretical aspects of social protection of the state. Results. The article is devoted of the theoretical aspects of the concept of control over the financial and economic activities of an enterprise. Based on the systematization of the views of most authors, it was found that today there is no universally accepted definition of the concept of control over the financial and economic activities of an enterprise. Most researchers consider the concept of control based on different key features. As a result of a critical analysis of modern researches, the authors identified a set of advantages and disadvantages in the reviewed concepts of control over the financial and economic activities of an enterprise. According to the results of the study, it is determined the need for considering control over the financial and economic activities of an enterprise as a special scientific concept according to the research method of its specific subject. Conclusion. The main parameters of social policy implementation in society are determined by many objective factors: the level of development of productive forces, the structure of the economy, the state of social life, the nature of political power, the spiritual and moral maturity of the population of the country, etc. The maturity of the subjective factor - the ability and willingness of the administrative structures and other entities to ensure the social orientation of the economy, decent working conditions and life of citizens; civilized nature of social relations. Social protection is directly associated with social policy, with the activities of the state and non-state actors aimed at combating social risks and their various manifestations, through the possible prevention of socially adverse events or compensation for their consequences. The market economy is traditionally considered in the coordinates of profit and consumption, and the person in it is human capital, but, and social protection and social security that help the person for the purpose, must be viewed from the point of post-classical studies, where the person is his core, and at the same time and the purpose of development.

Administrative burdens can hinder people’s social, political and economic participation. However, most empirical studies usually tackle the issue of how they affect access to citizenship merely indirectly. This article examines administrative exclusion from Argentina’s National Identity Document and its effects on a key social policy: the Universal Child Allowance. Findings indicate that: (1) administrative exclusion from official identity documents ‘feeds back’ into the construction of a vulnerable target group that is systematically excluded from social benefits and public services; and (2) limitations in the administrative capacity for identity registration and documentation ‘trickle down’ to complications in the implementation of social policies as target groups remain ‘off the radar’. Findings also demonstrate the importance of understanding administrative burdens as a systemic issue. Burdens manifest themselves at the level of citizen–state interactions but their causes and consequences are tied up with intractable institutional characteristics, administrative capacities and social inequalities. Points for practitioners Efforts by developing countries to develop effective social protection systems are often thwarted by limitations in the state’s capacity to identify and reach marginalized citizens. This suggests the need for a systemic perspective of the state’s entire capacity instead of merely focusing on the design of social protection programmes. Specifically, we demonstrate that complete, accessible and up-to-date civil registries, identity documents and other forms of registration are a precondition for transforming formal rights into a tangible reality for citizens.

Social protection systems are a key factor for ensuring the long-term sustainability and stability of economies in the European Union, their reform being nowadays present in the political agenda of member states. Aging and the dependence on mandatory levies applied to the employed population on the labor market represent a threat for the sustainability of public social protection systems. In terms of sustainability, our purpose was to highlight the factors influencing social insurance budgets, considering the fiscal policies implemented in six countries of Central and Eastern Europe and their particular labor market characteristics. Therefore, a panel study based on a regression model using the Ordinary Least Squares method (OLS) with cross section random effects was used to determine the correlations between funding sources and labor market specific indicators. The data analyzed led to relevant results that emphasize the dependence of social insurance budgets on positive factors such as the average level of salaries, the share of compulsory social contributions, the unemployment rate, and the human development index, suggesting the continuing need for professional and personal development of the workforce.
