Annotation. Introduction. The article investigates the main problems in the field of social protection of the population in Ukraine that require an immediate solution. The theoretical approach to the financial support of the social sphere is considered. The reasons for the negative impact on the implementation of budget policy in the social protection system are investigated. The financing of social protection and social security, health and education from state and local budgets of Ukraine is analyzed. Changes in the system of social protection through the transformation of financing of the social protection system are determined. The purpose of the article. It is worth exploring the financial support of social services in Ukraine in recent years. It is also worth offering possible ways to counteract the underfunding of the social sphere from the budgets of different levels. Results. Formation of national social security in the system of public finance management should be carried out on the basis of the system of fiscal norms and to be focused; to ensure effective forms of supporting various social groups that require social protection; transition to cash provision of welfare; Personal assistance to the state is included in income of individuals and families. Taking into account that wages are still the main source of income in Ukraine, it is necessary to increase its share in income, paying special attention to minimal hourly remuneration. Conclusions.

Topicality. The global and local crises over the past two decades have redefined the role of social protection and social security systems as automatic social and economic stabilizers. Despite the level of economic development of the country, the global experience indicates that countries with a well-defined social strategy are less difficult and suffer less time to stabilize the country. Effective state social policy is relevant in times of economic crisis and is necessary to alleviate internal market disfunction. It is worth to admit that annually from the state budget of Ukraine almost 70% of social expenditures are redistributed to programs for improving the standard of living of the needy. However, despite the efforts of government officials, the level of poverty is increasing annually, and the problem is the mass outflow of workforce abroad. The current situation in the field of social security and its level of financing is unsatisfactory, since it does not contribute to the overall improvement of the standard and quality of life of the population, and therefore requires regulation with the introduction of fundamental changes in social budgeting. Aim and tasks The purpose of the study was to determine the argumentation based on the study of the world experience of national priorities of social policy modification and substantiation of innovative design of social transfer programs in the conditions of spreading threats of globalization challenges and strengthening of the turbulence of the macroeconomic environment. Research results. As a result of studying foreign experience, the authors of the article found that the social policy of a successful country is intended to fulfil a regulative and stimulating role in ensuring the development of the economy and creating conditions for the effective functioning of the social protection system, social security and social services, the activity of which should be not only an "act of charity", but a way to increase the economic activity of the working classes and support other segments of the population to ensure a decent life for the whole community. However, over the years of independence, Ukraine's social policy has never been shaped as a coherent, integrated strategy. It is in fact replaced by the accumulation of various types of poorly justified and not supported by the possibilities of budget financing of payments, benefits, subsidies, etc. The establishment and functioning of the national social security system is undoubtedly important, but the objective need to formulate a social transfer policy in order to find ways to optimize the social sphere by enhancing the effectiveness of the social transfer tool that must be taken into account. Conclusions. The research made it possible to substantiate the position of the authors, which is that the permanent nature of the socio-economic crisis in Ukraine forces to work on the development of anti-crisis measures in the social sphere. This requires constant updating of the tools of the social protection system, social security and social services as automatic state social stabilizers and economic incentives to activate life and well-being of the population. In times of crisis and post-crisis periods, social policies should aim to compensate for the loss of economic benefits not only for the population in need, but also for the proportion of the population in need because of the crisis. Therefore, the state, through social programs, must “insure” a decent standard of living for the entire population of the country, especially in times of crisis.

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.

The lack of a clear structural vision of the national model of socially-oriented economy leads to significant social disparities and distortions in society.

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.

The effectiveness of the state social policy largely determines the production of quality public goods by state structures, the improvement of the demographic situation, the comprehensive development of human capital, the improvement of social well-being and the socio-economic development of the country as a whole. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to reseasch the main directions of state social policy in Russia and assess the effectiveness of the social sector. The methodological basis of the study was the Keynesian concept of state regulation of the economy, since the state sets basic social standards, provides social protection for the population and social guarantees. We conducted the study using Rosstat data reflecting the main indicators of the social sphere of Russia. We determined the overall effectiveness of State social policy on the basis of changes in demographic processes, indicators of the living standards of the population, the volume of state social expenditures, the functioning of the education system, health care and social services. We studied the difficult demographic situation in Russia. We considered indicators of the living standards of the population and a decrease in their level, an increase in poverty and a significant social stratification in society; analyzed government spending on education, health and social policy; summarized the main problems in the educational sphere in the provision of medical services and in the process of state social services of the population; established that the functioning of the social sphere does not fully meet social needs, and the activities of the social sector of the state are ineffective. The proposed study of state social policy demonstrates its relevance to Russian society.

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.

In modern conditions, public spending on social protection plays a priority role in improving the welfare and quality of life of vulnerable populations. From the volume and direction of financial resources of the state depends not only the level of welfare of society, but also the development of the domestic economy and the stability of the socio-political situation in the state. The developed countries of the modern world spend about 17% of gross domestic product for social protection and social security. This indicator shows that expenditures on the social component occupy the largest share in the structure of state budget expenditures, both in foreign countries and in Ukraine. The lack of public funds to meet the requirements of current legislation and failure to fulfill planned indicators of financing of all social articles are the main problems of financial provision of social protection in Ukraine. Despite the fact that during the analyzed period there is an increase in expenditures on social protection in Ukraine, these funds are still insufficient. The implementation of the policy in the social protection system has a number of reasons, which are manifested primarily in the implementation of the approved expenditures of the state budget. Despite the significant amounts of public spending on social protection and social security and wide range of forms of social assistance, the benefits of which are enjoyed by a significant part of society, not all measures are effective. On the one hand, the state invests significant funds in the development of the social sphere, and on the other - these costs do not solve the problems of social protection, but, on the contrary, inflate them. Solving the problems of financing social protection in Ukraine must be carried out in conjunction with reforming the social protection system as a whole, which will reduce the financial burden of the state and improve living standards. Therefore, we consider it important to investigate the issues of public spending on social protection and the problems of financing the social sphere and find alternatives to improve its functioning.

The actualization of social protection of the population consists in the fact that the concept of “social protection” is associated with the concept of “social care” of the state, when individual assistance to a person, groups of people organized by professionally trained people and expressed by the concept of “social work” will have the support of confidence as its ultimate goal man in his strength, his capabilities. That is why in recent years, most specialists of social protection of the population refuse from such a broad, but non-specific concept as "state regulation of the social sphere", and use the term "social support of the population by the state" more and more. The social policy of any state is the most important part of its domestic policy. In the context of Kazakhstan's transition to sustainable development, the problem of improving the social security system of the population becomes especially acute and relevant. The right to social security of citizens is exercised in practice using a specific organized financial mechanism, which includes a set of interrelated organizational, economic, legislative and other measures.
