Abstract This chapter discusses the link between migration and welfare in Latvia. In general, the Latvian social security system may be described as a mixture of elements taken from the basic security (where eligibility is based on contributions or residency, and flat-rate benefits are provided) and corporatist (with eligibility based on labour force participation and earnings-related benefits) models. The country has experienced significant social policy and migration-related changed during the past decades. This chapter focuses on the current Latvian legislation, by closely examining the differential access to social protection benefits of resident nationals, foreigners living in Latvia and Latvian citizens residing abroad across five core policy areas: unemployment, health care, pensions, family benefits and social assistance. Our results show that the Latvian social security benefits are generally based on the principle of employment, social insurance contributions, and permanent residence. Most of the social benefits and services are available to socially insured permanent residents. At the same time, the state offers minimum protection to non-insured permanent residents. Foreigners with temporary residence permits who are not socially insured are the least socially protected group.

This article discusses the ways in which the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic has embodied to the political choices made during the process of creating and defining a democratic welfare state and how the various constitutional principles are reflected in the architecture of the system and have gradually changed over the years. The authors argue that when Portugal transitioned to democracy, unlike other areas of the country’s social policies the social security system retained some of its earlier organising principles. Having said this, this resilience on the part of the Portuguese system’s Bismarckian template has not prevented social protection from expanding here in accordance with universal principles, and has given successive governments manoeuvring room in which to define programmatically distinct policies and implement differentiated reformist strategies. The paper concludes by arguing that while the Constitution has not placed an insurmountable limit on governments’ political action, it has served as a point of veto, namely by means of the way in which the Constitutional Court has defended the right to social protection, be it in the form of social insurance, be it in the imposition of certain social minima.

AbstractThis chapter discusses the general legal framework regulating Russia’s welfare system and access for national citizens, foreigners residing in the country, and national citizens residing abroad to social benefits in five policy areas: unemployment, health care, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. Our analysis shows that the eligibility of Russian nationals for social benefits depends either on their employment status and contribution record (for pensions and other social insurance benefits), or their residence status (for social assistance and healthcare). The overall level of social protection of citizens residing in different parts of the country may differ substantially due to the decentralized structure of the social protection system in Russia. The rights of foreign residents to social security benefits are essentially the same as those of the nationals, as long as they are legally employed and make social security contributions. However, there are two major exceptions: pensions and unemployment benefits. Social assistance benefits provided at the regional level are typically available to all legal residents, foreigners included, with few exceptions. When deciding to permanently move abroad, Russian citizens lose their entitlement to claim social benefits from Russia, apart from acquired contributory public pensions.

This article discusses the formation of the social protection system in the Republic of Kazakhstan and its component such as social insurance, the place and role of the Head of State - the Leader of the Nation in the implementation of these reforms in Kazakhstan. The essence, goals, principles of social insurance were determined in this article. The points of view of the scientists and experts were studied. The interpretation of the social insurance, comparative analysis of the concepts of social security, social assistance, benefits and compensation was researched. The state could not stay out of this complex process and began to actively participate in it. Moreover, this participation has been carried out in two directions. The first is the creation of the state insurance system, which either protects the states’, mainly property interests, or protects certain socially vulnerable groups of the population. The second is the creation of the mechanism for legal regulation of insurance relations as the special group of the public relations. In the legislation of any country extensive block called legislation on insurance. In the market economy, based on the private property, the main driver of insurance is the desire of the owner to protect his property. At the same time, the growth of welfare causes the individual to take care of himself, which expands the scope of personal insurance.

The article analyzes the concept of “risk” as an economic, social and legal category. The author defines the legal boundaries of this concept from the point of view of entrepreneurial activity and reveals their features. Legal instruments are also considered that allow entrepreneurs, in the conditions of economic crises, to pay special attention to the risks associated with the conclusion of employment contracts with employees. At the same time, a conclusion is drawn on the need to improve the system of internal local legal regulation, forecasting situations in which the risk of absenteeism due to objective circumstances can lead to significant losses. The boundaries of employee social protection and protection are determined by various means that are available to the employer, in particular legal, economic and organizational.

Features of regulation of labor relations under the influence of measures aimed at preventing the occurrence and spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are revealed. It was emphasized that the problem of regulation of labor relations during quarantine restrictions became especially acute, as it was necessary to amend the legislation in order to reduce the negative impact of the spread of coronavirus COVID-19. A set of both general and special methods of scientific cognition was used to study the problem. The main thing in this system is the general scientific dialectical method, which was used to clarify the new content of the responsibilities of the employer during the pandemic COVID-19, identify the main changes in Ukrainian legislation. Using the formal-logical method, the consequences of quarantine restrictions in the field of employment and ways to overcome them are revealed. On this methodological basis, the collection, processing and analysis of empirical material were carried out. General scientific methods are also used, such as: comparison, generalization, induction, deduction and analysis. In addition, system-structural analysis is used in the analysis of current legislation. Legislative changes are analyzed in order to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus spread. Attention is paid to the consequences of the introduction of quarantine restrictions, which affected the level of economic development of the country, social protection and employment. The economic level of Ukraine is analyzed taking into account the impact of quarantine shock, as a result of which the decline in Ukraine�s gross domestic product in 2020 was highlighted. As a result, there was a sharp reduction in jobs and loss of livelihoods of the working population. The causal links that led to a decline in employment, job cuts and rising unemployment have been identified. The main reasons for the reduction of employees in enterprises due to the difficult economic situation - the loss of a significant part of profits, reducing the number of employees to keep the company, forced sending of workers on unpaid leave, transfer to part-time work. Emphasis is placed on such a phenomenon as hidden unemployment, which is not included in official statistics. This happens when some employers send employees on unpaid long-term leave for the duration of quarantine, others transfer employees from full-time to part-time employment. Forms of hidden unemployment are highlighted. Attention is paid to the impact of quarantine restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on labor migration processes and the trend of behavior of Ukrainian workers. The main reasons for the decline in migration processes, including the closure of borders for entry and exit of foreigners by most European countries, the temporary suspension of enterprises and job losses during the quarantine period, etc. are highlighted. The ways of the decision of the raised questions are offered.
