The state's responsibility for development of social infrastructure has not been questioned by modern Russian and foreign economists for many years. An indicator of implementing the national goals of the Russian Federation development for the period up to 2030 is not only an increase in life expectancy up to 78 years, but also a half reduction in the poverty level compared to indicator of 2017 [1], which points out the need not only to ensure additional income for the elderly, but also to reduce their costs. In the context of limited budgetary opportunities, the state's social policy is focused on developing commercial sector of social services and the sector of socially oriented NPOs that are not interested in development of capital-intensive infrastructure component at social tariffs. Private stationary facilities are targeted at wealthy people and are inaccessible to most elderly people who have to turn to the gray services market. Excessive commercialization has embraced even state-owned infrastructures, created or reconstructed through the mechanism of public-private partnership. This results in limited availability of public good and competition for access to it.

In the article it is considered the content of the Constitutional amendments organizing the directions of the state’s social policy, approved as a result of the all-Russian vote in 2020, from the perspective of the financial opportunities of public law entities for the implementation of the adjusted mechanism of social guarantees. The authors analyzed the nature of changes in the certain institutions of financial law, on the basis of which the consequences were established both for the management of centralized monetary funds and other spheres of the state’s life. During the research the invariability of public finances as a result of equating the minimum wage to the subsistence minimum and declaring guarantees affecting compulsory social insurance, in the country’s fundamental law, was justified. It is noted the modification of the procedure for the formation, distribution and use of the centralized monetary funds due to amendments regulating other social measures requiring the attraction of additional income sources for their implementation. Due to the deteriorating economic situation in the country and at the same time, the increase in expenditure obligations of public law entities in the field of social guarantees proposals have been developed to reduce the risk of irrational waste of budget funds by redistributing the financial burden between the levels of the budget system.

The article outlines the issues of social infrastructure development in Ukraine. The need of addressing these issues through implementing public-private partnership projects is justified. Some priority areas for introducing public-private partnership in Ukraine are identified. The best foreign practices of attracting private sector to solving problems of social infrastructure development are considered. It is revealed that priority areas where public-private partnerships operate are dependent on the level of socio-economic development of the country. Some practices of public-private partnership projects in education in the UK, Australia, Germany, and Egypt are analyzed in detail and their common characteristics are systematized. Based on the analysis of best foreign practices applied in implementing public-private partnership projects in healthcare, the following key measures are formulated: direct provision of medical services, management of medical assets, development and production of pharmaceuticals, improvement of access to medical services and products. The performance of public-private partnership projects in the healthcare sector in the UK, France, Australia and Sweden is analyzed in detail. The paper describes both more and less successful examples of publicprivate partnership in this sector. The article defines the following reasons for low-level implementation of public-private partnership projects in healthcare: schedule delays in construction, operation-cost overruns, poor hospital and ward layout, use of low-cost medical equipment which requires regular renewal.

Some characteristic features of public-private partnership projects in social services in foreign countries are identified. The national practices of introducing public-private partnership projects are highlighted and priority areas of their operation are singled out. It is found out that the implementation of public-private partnership projects in social services is not popular among domestic investors. Some individual projects of public-private partnership in social services are considered. A particular attention is paid to both more and less successful ones.

The article is devoted to the problems of sustainable development of social infrastructure and social services, which are beyond the effective demand of large cities, cannot develop according to market laws, and provide the necessary level of infrastructure fullness. Despite 45.9% of private companies in the social sectors, the vast majority of real estate objects continue to be owned by the state, forming the need to find economic mechanisms for the development of state social infrastructure, outside of limited budget opportunities. The possibility of attracting private investment in new construction and reconstruction without alienating the ownership right to it makes public-private partnership (PPP) and the economic mechanism based on it have no alternative. However, its practical application suffers from asociality, leading to the appearance of state-owned facilities where private investors conduct exclusively commercial activities. The apparent budget savings lead the state, judicial and supervisory authorities in such territories to a strategic failure, reducing the number of state facilities operating at state prices, ignoring the requests of the population for affordable social infrastructure, increasing social tension in society. This work is aimed at studying the irrational behavior of private investors, the stability of which is provided by the PPP mechanism, where the state determines the necessary level of the sociality of infrastructure objects that best corresponds to the existing stratification of residents of a certain territory through competitive procedures and essential conditions of the future project. It is necessary to continue research on improving federal legislation, whose social neutrality leads to conflicting expectations of the parties from PPP, adding sensitivity to a wide range of risks, repelling private investment and investors, limiting infrastructure development only to budget opportunities. The development of an economic mechanism that ensures finding a balance of accessibility and market rationality of social facilities is not an easy task, which has many solutions taking into account the characteristics of a particular territory and its population

Critical deterioration of infrastructure increasingly becomes an obstacle for the development of modern Russia. Large projects in virtually all sectors of the national economy cannot be implemented without accelerating the resource turnover and reducing the delivery time of finished products to the consumer. Meanwhile, infrastructure projects are not only capital-intensive, but also pay back slowly due to objective economic and natural-climatic reasons. In addition, the current stage of the country development is characterized by the inability to achieve growth in budget expenditures for these purposes, which requires the creation of special mechanisms for investing in infrastructure projects. The practice has developed a number of approaches to solving infrastructure issues, such as the public-private partnership in the terms of concession, syndicated lending, etc. Meanwhile, the investment activity of these mechanisms is insufficient for the scale of implementation of demanded projects. The infrastructure mortgage mechanism proposed by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation may be a solution of this problem. Debatable character of the model of implementation of infrastructure projects using mortgage instruments, the analysis of approaches and points of view of the problem and the ways of its solution allowed the authors suggesting the key measures that make it possible to give the infrastructure mortgage mechanisms a justified character in the operational mode of time.
