Current Context

The issues of social policy of the State have recently been in the discourse, in search of its new format. They acquired particular relevance in the context of the globally unfolding coronavirus crisis. The article shows that precisely the coronavirus pandemic has become the impetus for understanding the role and content of social protection of the population, has opened up new opportunities to transform it in search of true goals and instruments of implementation. It is proved that health becomes an urgent object of protection, that the health of society and an individual are mutually conditioned and complementable. Modern risks requiring an adequate response on the part of the State to overcome them are analyzed. In addition to the coronavirus pandemic, digitalization seriously affects humans and society, leading to the displacement of humans from the spheres of employment, transformation of the labor market and blurring of employment boundaries, precarization and unsteady employment. The growing inequality in the world leads to many problems in the social sphere and requires its solution. We are certain that in the conditions of modern, constantly complicating socio-economic development, increasing uncertainty and riskiness, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of social policy in which the most important values should dominate: health of human, access of human to sources of education, health care, consumption of clean water and other socially significant benefits, to decent income and living conditions. Such a system of social protection is in development, its sprouts to varying degrees of dimension and efficiency are formed in different world countries. The lessons learned in the process of combating the pandemic can become a good help in its formation.

There is a research gap in the study of interest groups in the social sphere, arguing the possibility of examination the activities of all-Russian public organizations of the disabled, blind, and deaf in interaction with the state authorities in the Russian system of social protection of disabled people. The context of reforming the social sphere in Russia is important because it is suggesting the opposite to conservative principles the transition to market relations and effective management of institutions of social protection. The researchers consider public organizations created in the USSR as of “the power transmission belts” of the state, however these actors may represent interest groups preserving the conservative practices in the social sphere. The aim of the article is to verify whether all-Russian public associations of people with disabilities are interest groups in Russian social policy. The investigation compares the actions of conservative nongovernmental organizations with the theoretical characteristics of interest groups. To argue that the selected actors promote certain interests in the social protection system, a review of the research literature of characteristics of interest groups was conducted. Then, the characteristics were traced in the statutory activities of the investigated organizations. The analysis of the legislation and statutory activities of All-Russian organizations of people with disabilities revealed the possibilities of the organizations to influence political decision-making in relation to persons with disabilities, as well as to contribute to the persistence of the conservative course of social policy, despite the introduced innovations in Russian legislation.

The main provisions, essence and content of the revenue policy as a key part of the social policy of the state have been considered in the article. The author rightly notes, that the income policy is aimed at solving such important tasks as helping vulnerable groups of the population by resorting to the use of the social security system and leveling the inflationary processes that affect the income and savings of citizens. Various models of social regulation have been adduced, including the “Scandinavian” or “Swedish” model, monetarist, paternalistic, and others. The study have used various general scientific research methods: observation method, the systemic-functional method, method of synthesis and analysis, method of scientific abstraction.The main directions of improving the implementation of the state social policy, which is presented as a voluminous, multi-faceted process that has a complex structure and intersects with many other areas of state activity, have been proposed. The conclusion has been formulated, that society does not exist by itself, so the social sphere is in constant interaction with other spheres, such as production of material goods, politics, culture and the environment. It has been noted, that social policy is recognized as effective when the entire social sphere is at a high level, and the society clearly shows a positive response to the actions of the state. Thus, the broader is such a policy, the greater is the completeness of the covered areas, both explicit (the fight against poverty, social protection, etc.) and implicit (relations between social groups, motivation in society, etc.), the more effective is the overall functioning of the state as a whole.

The relevance of the study is determined by theoretical definition of the essence and specification of the components of the subsystems of public finances, which allowed us reveal the need for studying the role of household finance in public finances, which have a direct connection with the state budget, local budgets and funds of social importance. As a subject of public finance, households, through participation in the formation and use of public finance, can influence the stability of this category. Analysing profitable part of the state budget, namely stake of payments from the profits of householders in a budget, and considering their personal interest in a social sphere, it was their public interest that unites interests of the state and private is certain. Due to the fact that almost a third of the expenditures of the consolidated budget is allocated for social protection and security, and one of the public finance subsystems is fully owned by non-state social funds, financial flows that are defined and guaranteed by the state for all citizens and personify public interests were considered. The analysis of the expenditures of the state and local budgets determined that the expenses on the social protection of pensioners and the social protection of the family, children and young people are of the greatest interest, and they are directly related to the finances of households. Using the indicator of the stability of public finances, articles on social protection were examined, and it was determined which areas could adversely affect the sustainability of public finances. Social protection of the retired people refers to the area with a negative impact on public finances. The obtained results require further studies of the relationship of the social sphere with household finance, which will make it possible to determine the instruments of influence and regulation in the sphere of public finances.

One of the important tasks of social policy is to ensure the social security and development of a state. Protection of the individual, society and the state from internal and external threats is ensured by social security. Social development is reflected in the effective implementation of social programs aimed at improving social welfare and the well-being of citizens. The article is aimed at suggesting some approaches to define social policy as a basis for the formation of social security of a state. Legal documents regulating security formation in the social sphere are considered. The components of social security are identified. Approaches to define the social policy of a state in the context of social security formation are offered. The types and models for carrying out social policies in the view of forming the social security of a state are analyzed. Ukraine’s social policy needs to be transformed, as it is characterized by low economic efficiency, this being the reason for the state’s inability to ensure a high level of well-being for all its citizens. Domestic social policy is characterized by a low level of security and limited social benefits for ordinary citizens, but the elite can use a whole system of social benefits and privileges. All this threatens the social security of the state. The ideology of domestic social policy makes the citizens highly dependent on the state, instead of promoting the citizens’ initiatives. However, the social security formation is impossible without improving life quality and bringing in social welfare, and without reforming and developing the social sphere. It can only become possible if social consensus is reached between different groups of political and economic interests and the state.
