The article is devoted to the development of a social security model in the region, representing a comprehensive vision of various aspects of interaction between man and society on the way to preserve social security. The aim of the study is an attempt to synthesize the provisions of various scientific and socio-philosophical concepts of social security with the provisions of regional studies into a single systemic model of social security in the region. The implementation of this goal is carried out by the authors using a methodology based on a civilizational approach, which asserts the uniqueness of each of the regions, a systematic approach that reveals the social system of a region as a multi-core phenomenon in which various social levels are distinguished; a structuralist approach, which proves that social conditions for safe life depend on the development and organization of the social environment; semiotic approach aimed at analyzing the region as a spatial, locally distinguished social system formed around a complex of regional values; an instrumental approach that pays attention to the impact of mechanisms leading to the regional interests’ mobilization. The novelty of the presented research is associated with a model development of social security of the region based on the principle of complementarity of philosophical concepts of social security and the provisions of regional studies. The result of the study is a statement of the impossibility of covering this phenomenon in models developed in individual sciences that form scattered images of the social security of the region, but do not cover the entirety of this phenomenon. The second result of the study is the formation of a social security model of the region, which allows taking into account civilizational, systemic, structural, value, instrumentally constructed parameters. The third result is the proof of the possibility of building a social security system based on values, the mobilization of which takes place within the framework of a dialogue between external and intra-regional social discourses

Recently income inequality has been growing in many countries, and it is one of the biggest economic and social problems. The International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and other organizations stress the importance of this issue. According to Atkinson, Brandolini (2009), changes in income inequality show whether a particular society becomes more egalitarian over time or not, in which socio-economic direction it progresses.Even countries with similar economic structures differ in the level of income inequality and, according to Stiglitz (2015), differences in income inequality are related to policy decisions. The decisions of countries may depend on the prevailing view if markets are efficient or inefficient. In the first case, countries tend to rely more on neoliberal economic doctrine, and in the second, on the welfare state, where the role of government is more active (Stiglitz, 2017). However, it is observed that the growing income inequality is related to the growing role of the financial market, i.e. the phenomenon of financialization, which weakens the role of government. Thus, assessing the impact of financialization on income inequality is an actual topic of scientific debate.The results of studies, assessing the impact of financialization on income inequality, are mixed. Some financialization dimensions, such as financial liberalization, banking / financial crises increase income inequality, but microfinance intensity reduces income inequality. The contradictory results can be explained by the fact that research samples differ, various indicators reflecting the financialization are used, different independent variables are included in the regression equations.Studies have also been conducted in groups of countries that belong to different welfare state regimes (Josifidis, Mitrović, Supić, Glavaški, 2016; Dafermos, Papatheodorou, 2013). These studies emphasize that the level of income inequality is related to the efficiency of the social security system, i.e. income inequality is lower in Social–democratic welfare state regime (inherent universal social services and benefits) and Conservative–corporatist welfare state regime (social security model related to employment status) groups of countries than in the Mediterranean welfare state regime (characterized by the fragmentation of the social security model) and Liberal welfare state regime (inherent the specificity of the social security model, there is no universality) groups of countries. However, there is a lack of research that assesses the impact of financialization on income inequality in different welfare state regime groups of countries. The research problem: what is the impact of financialization on income inequality, is this impact the same in different EU welfare state regime groups? The object of the research - the impact of financialization on income inequality. The aim of the research is to assess the impact of financialization on income inequality in EU country groups.Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, grouping, generalization, regression analysis of panel data.When assessing the impact of financialization on income inequality in different welfare regimes EU country groups during the period 1998-2017, the least-squares regression analysis method of the panel data was used. The conducted research confirms the hypothesis and clearly shows that financialization, measured both by financial development index and domestic credit to the private sector, increases income inequality in all groups of countries. Thus, it shows that the role of the financial market is growing and financialization processes are contributing to the growth of income inequality in all groups of welfare regime countries and may reduce the role of government. These results are in line with Stiglitz, 2012; Razgūnė, 2017; Dünhaupt, 2014; Golebiowski, Szczepankowski, Wisniewska, 2016; Palley, 2008) who analyzed the relationship between financialization and growing income inequality. However, the study of Dabla-Norris et al. (2015), by contrast, find that the ratio of domestic credit to GDP in developed countries reduces income inequality.

The article reveals the technology of assessing the professional suitability of officials to perform their functions on the basis of the method of modeling and comparing assessments with the necessary parameters for the position, ie with the model. The term "model" is used as a holistic description of the coordination of the requirements of the social system (SS) with the possibilities of their implementation. The model in this case is a professional standard, which is developed for each position. The professional standard is the agreed standard by which employees should work. This method - the method of evaluation using a professional standard, is the result of the implementation of the principle of consistency in the construction of the model. According to the authors, the method is not only novelty approach, but also versatility. It is possible to estimate by means of a professional standard not only the expert, but also group, potential of collective, it is possible to make comparisons, to define weaknesses and strongnesses of the organizations. The technique developed by authors is offered that allows to carry out various necessary variations with the estimated signs, including visual display of results in various forms.Job modeling refers to ideal or imaginary modeling (as opposed to material, substantive, when modeling physical and mathematical objects) and is based largely on the idealization of the object. In our opinion, at no stage can the model be embodied in an absolutely accurate copy due to the unforeseen influence of many external factors.Modeling of evaluation characteristics in personnel activity is a necessary element in the real assessment of the state of affairs in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. That is why their importance is growing in the context of its reform, taking into account the impact on it of both negative and positive factors.

Esta investigación focaliza en los modelos de gestión de la edad de las personas que componen las entidades no lucrativas (ENL) como organizaciones sociales que garantizan la prestación de servicios básicos entre las personas más vulnerables. El progresivo envejecimiento en la sociedad española está cambiando el perfil de la ciudadanía en general, y en concreto en los miembros de las organizaciones que nconfiguran el sistema social. Así, se analiza el impacto de los procesos de intercambio intergeneracional de información y conocimiento en las ENL que actúan en la comunidad autónoma de Extremadura. Tales procesos pueden observarse desde los modelos de gestión de la edad de trabajadores y de voluntariado, para la ponderación del know how transmisible de generación en generación como parte de la cultura de estas organizaciones.This research focuses on the age management models of people who make up nonprofit organizations (NPOs) as social organizations that guarantee the provision of basic services among the most vulnerable people. The progressive aging in the Spanish society is changing the profile of the citizenship in general, specially within the members of the organizations that configure the social system. Thus, the impact of the processes of intergenerational exchange of information and knowledge inside the NPOs are performing in Extremadura. Such processes can be observed from the models of management of the age of workers and volunteers, for the weighting of the know how transmissible from generation to generation as part of the culture of these organizations.

The formation and formation of the Industry 4.0 concept stimulated the discussion of the use of computer technology in various areas of economic activity and, in particular, in the automation of social systems management. The basis of the concept is the inclusion of a virtual image of the social system in the form of a mathematical model or a digital twin of the enterprise in the production and management system. At the same time, it should be noted that today digital twin are created mainly only for technical objects used in the activities of enterprises. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the possibility of fixing organizational documents as one of the system-forming factors in the digital twin of an enterprise. This circumstance makes it possible, firstly, to more accurately calculate the managerial effects of managers by taking into account the impact of organizational documents on the activities of employees of the enterprise; secondly, to identify conflicts of documents developed by various departments of the company; thirdly, to calculate the content of documents during their development (design), based on the requirements of the situation or a given control effect. This possibility arises due to the use of a comprehensive mathematical model of the social system operating in an active environment. The model is a simulation agent-based model and allows you to calculate the dynamics of the social system in the socio-economic space, which allows its use in decision support systems by managers of any scale and activities to calculate the expected effect of management decisions – the specifics of a particular social system are taken into account by combining the values of the phase variables describing the state of the enterprise. The novelty of the research paper lies in the fact that it shows: the possibility to calculate the influence of organizational documents on the behavior of participants and, consequently, on the result of the social system, as well as the mechanism for converting messages, which are invariants of socio-economic space into information that affects the behavior of participants of relations.

SUMMARYProposed changes to the Social Security system will affect the financial risk workers will face in their retirement differently across the income distribution. This study examines levels of financial risk workers face at different points in the lifetime earnings distribution. To do so, we use a microsimulation model that projects individual demographic and economic characteristics within the context of the Social Security system and the macroeconomy to assess the impact of two policy changes on the levels of lifetime benefits available to current and future retirees. Further, we incorporate data on pensions and savings to illustrate differences in the level and distribution of retirement funds across the earnings distribution. This exercise allows us to assess the financial risk workers face in their retirement, both within the Social Security system itself and within a broader view of the stream of total available retirement funds. We also use survey data to show that low earners are the least willing to tolerate such risk.

The community of inmates children as a unique and unique social system is difficult to understand when viewed only from the outside, so it is necessary to systematically attempt to know the values, norms, relationships, and objectives-through where and with what they are living, and understand both their own experiences and the world in which they liveThe situational system of the inmates children as human beings (although in this case is the child) to be fostered, is one of the important elements in the whole process of assistance in the Penitentiary is no exception to the Children Penitentiary in Kutoarjo. The entire penitentiary system design, from the assistance program, the assistance mechanism, and the assistance implementation, is actually determined by the circumstances and the reality of the people who are to be fostered, the inmates.The reality of the children inmates who are always on the "social order" in their various communities is essentially constantly changing. Specifically, this study finds links between: the institutional reality of a children penitentiary, which includes the factual circumstances concerning facilities and infrastructure, and the administrative aspects of KutoarjoChildren Penitentiary. The reality of the member of KutoarjoChildren Penitentiaryin the form of identified number of occupants, placement systems, and formal and informal groupings of the targeted children in addition to the build and formed a community of the assisted children in KutoarjoChildren Penitentiary and the basic elements of the Social System of the Auxiliaries in all the community of assisted children and etc.As Soerjono Sukanto said that even though human "convicts" live in a confined state, they instinctively want to interact with fellow inmates. This instinct is referred to as "gregariousness" (Soekanto: 1998: 73), which in the last instance will give birth to so-called "social groups". In this context created social structure, social system, norms and so on.

Resumen<br /><br />El riesgo de dependencia, que concierne a las personas mayores y discapacitadas, despierta un interés creciente entre los responsables políticos y se constatan unos avances significativos en esta materia: adecuación de los instrumentos de financiación, modernización de los centros y de los servicios de ayuda domiciliaria, mejora de la integración de estas personas, etc. Pero, el incremento de las necesidades cuando la generación de los baby-boomers llegará a una edad avanzada plantea la cuestión de la sostenibilidad del gasto, del impacto sobre las familias que supone la atención de una persona dependiente así como la de los medios específicos que es preciso movilizar para las personas que padecen la enfermedad de Alzheimer. El debate en torno al “quinto riesgo” gira sobre su naturaleza con respecto a los demás riesgos cubiertos por la Seguridad social, la población concernida, la parte que incumbe al público, a los hogares y a los seguros en la financiación. Ante esta situación, existen dos posibilidades en cuanto a la financiación de la dependencia: la primera caracterizada por el mantenimiento de una parte mayoritaria de la solidaridad colectiva, mientras que la segunda privilegia la solicitación del seguro privado y del seguro de previsión.<br /><br />Abstract<br /><br />The risk of dependency, which concerns the major and disabled persons, generates an increasing interest between the politicians and a few significant advances are observed in this matter: adequacy of the instruments of financing, modernization of the centers and services of domiciliary help, improvement of the integration of these persons, etc. But, the increase of the needs when the generation of the baby-boomers will come to an advanced age raises the question of the sustainability of the expense, the impact on the families that the attention of one dependent person supposes as well as the specific means that is precise to mobilize for the persons who suffer Alzheimer's disease. The debate concerning the "fifth risk" turns on his nature comparing with other risks covered by the social security, the concerned population, part that is incumbent on public, to the families and to the insurances in the financing. In front of this situation, two possibilities exist for the financing of the dependency: the first one characterized by the maintenance of a majority part of the collective solidarity, whereas the second one favours the solicitation of the private insurance and the insurance of forecast.
