The article is devoted to the study of historical aspects of the formation of the social risk management system. The study is based on a deep retrospective analysis that allows to establish the stages of formation of social risk management systems in world practice. This is of fundamental importance for the rationalization of social policy, and within its framework, in particular, the policy of social risk management. The effective functioning of such a system should, in turn, refer to the historical awareness of social risks, the principles of organization of risk communities. According to the author, the study, conducted to describe and explain the attitude to the social risk management system through the prism of the evolution of the social state, aims to establish not only opinions on Social Security through social security systems, the scale of satisfaction with the possible benefits derived from this insurance, and trust in the institution associated with them. The result of these studies should also be a diagnosis of the attitude of society and states to the ideas and rules of the social risk management system, and in particular recognition of the degree of understanding of the need for social security by creating appropriate mechanisms. Therefore, it is important, taking into account the evolution of the development of the social state, to also answer the question of the possibility of directing other public institutions covering this important sphere of social relations formation in the social risk management system. The author finds in the article that social risk has a historical character, which is associated with both technological and cultural development of the individual. It is proved that the state played a key role in the development of the social risk management system. The stages of formation of the social risk management system are allocated and a scheme of methods of public management of social risks was built on the basis of the performed analysis. Also based on the analysis, strategic goals were identified in the system of public management of social risks, which allows to increase its effectiveness. Keywords: social risk, social risk management system, social security, state, social policy.

Introduction: the article analyzes current legislation of Russia and some foreign countries as well as the views of Russian and foreign scholars on the legal status of individuals as subjects of the social security legal relations in the context of the social risk management (SRM) conceptual framework. Purpose and objectives: based on the modern ideas of social risks, to study the status of individuals as actors within the SRM system having specific rights and responsibilities. Methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific and legal information, historical and comparative methods. Results: today social security is considered a vital part of the SRM system. Having analyzed the specific features and dynamics of social risks, the authors conclude that to some considerable degree these risks are subjective in nature, which should determine a more active role of individuals. The article analyzes not only the legal personality of individuals in the social security legal relations but also – in a broader context – their agency in the SRM system. The authors provide examples of legislative regulation in some foreign countries: the French Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the United States of America. Different models of the individuals’ participation in the SRM system are presented. Based on the extent of different SRM subjects’ involvement and the distribution of the responsibility for the protection against social risks among them, the authors identify paternalistic, market-based (liberal), mixed (complex), and transitional models. Based on the extent of the individual’s interest in the protection against social risks and their readiness for taking actions in this sphere, the authors distinguish active and passive SRM models (with the latter one including indifferent and parasitical models). Conclusions: the paper offers a new approach to the understanding of social risks and protection against these (including through social security), and also to the role of individuals as subjects of social risk management.

AbstractSocial risks are an unusual type of risks occurring in insurance. Their specific feature is the implementation of risk in the sphere of social life of a person with special regard to the work environment. Social risks are an element of research in economics and law and in social policy. The author of the paper shows that the structure of the Polish social insurance system is not optimal and requires radical reform. This paper contains, among others, characteristics of the scope of protection of social risks identified in Poland by Social Security Administration and the basis for financing benefits from this system. The summary of the paper presents opinions on improving the financial efficiency of this system.

Introduction. Accelerated pace of development of society contributes to the accelerated generation of social risks, modern society is characterized by constant technological, natural, economic, environmental, socio-cultural changes. Therefore, minimizing social risks and leveling their consequences is of paramount importance. Methods. Diagnosis of the state of the social risk management system combined the principles of systemic, structural-functional and targeted analysis, which provided a comprehensive assessment of the whole and individual components. Results. The analysis of expenditures on the social sphere showed their stable absolute growth despite the dynamic reduction of their share in the budget. Social risks are largely due to the non-transparency of the mechanism for regulating the supply and demand of labor in the domestic labor market. A significant share of macroeconomic social risks is related to the problems of social infrastructure, which is financed from the budget. Problems with access to health care, the opacity of the pharmaceutical market, the degradation of the health care network, chronic underfunding, and the lack of health insurance also generate social risks. The task of state policy should be to prevent and prevent social risks, identify social conflicts that lead to destructive consequences. Systematization of social risks allows to methodologically substantiate the mechanisms of social risk management, to modernize the models of social protection of the population, to develop effective tools for ensuring public management of social risks. Discussion. The impossibility of reducing funding for social needs without deteriorating the quality of life and social protection of the population requires further search for alternative sources of funding for socio-cultural expenditures, rationalization in the budget structure to effectively combat the development of social risks. Keywords: social policy, social risks, social transfers, household expenditures, labor market, health care.

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.

AbstractThis paper argues that analyses of the gendered character of welfare states should be broadened to include women’s share of board and executive roles, as well as the affirmative-action policies (e.g. gender boardroom quotas) that help to overcome the gender stereotypes (e.g. women are ‘nice’, men are ‘assertive’) and opaque selection procedures at the root of this. Such indicators may seem beyond the remit of social policy analysis, which is concerned foremost with the analysis of ‘social risk’. However, drawing on evidence from across multiple disciplines, this paper argues that achieving a ‘critical mass’ of women in board and executive positions can bring women’s issues onto companies’ agendas and lead to the adoption of female-friendly practices, policies, and cultures at the firm level. Crucially, these practices, policies, and cultures can help to reduce the incidence of gendered social risks (employment/care conflicts, economic dependence on a partner) and sexual harassment among women at lower levels of the labour market. Thus, the paper highlights another dimension to the social-regulatory function of welfare states which has to date been overlooked, namely legislative requirements on companies to achieve gender diversity in their leadership structures.

Through a critical document-based methodology, the research analyses the essence of social risks as the object of public administration, proposes their classification, tests the need for interconnection of social and fiscal policies, bases the structure of the financial and budgetary mechanism for public management of social risks and, consequently, proposes to improve it by increasing investment in human capital to prevent social risks. It is concluded that the orientation of the social protection system to countervailing measures in relation to certain groups of the population seeks to solve the problem of poverty by strengthening tax distributional processes, increasing the amount of social spending on total state spending, but if it fails to increase the effectiveness of social programmers, the main social problems will not be solved. It is established that the main direction of improvement of the public social risk management tax mechanism should be the minimization of the compensatory nature of the financial provision of the consequences of social risks and, the activation of the application of investment tools for the prevention of their occurrence.

Introduction. The article emphasizes that the current features of the implementation of foreign economic activity require consideration of two factors that are contradictory to each other. In particular, on the one hand, the growth of external threats is forcing the governments of many countries to tighten control measures when crossing the state border of goods and commercial vehicles. On the other hand, according to international conventions and agreements (Kyoto Convention, WMO Framework Standards for Security, WTO Facilitation Agreement), measures to reduce the interference of regulatory authorities in the operational activities of economic operators are envisaged. In this context, the use of risk-oriented customs control tools, which allow simplifying business without reducing the level of national security, is becoming especially important. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to generalize and systematize foreign and domestic approaches to simplification of customs procedures through the use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control, as well as to develop their own proposals for simplification of foreign trade entities in the domestic regulatory field by using subject-oriented criteria. Results. The authors analyzed the provisions of the International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonization of Customs Procedures, the Framework Standards for Security and Facilitation of International Trade, the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation, which are provided for significant simplification of international trade procedures by reducing the share of customs inspections and controls. Сustoms security, customs clearance of goods and vehicles on the territory of the subjects of foreign economic activity or in another place permitted by the customs, without the direct participation of customs officials. These measures are based on the widespread use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control. It is noted that some of the provisions of international conventions and agreements on the use of risk-oriented instruments of customs control and simplification of economic operators have been implemented in domestic customs legislation, namely Art. 320 of the Customs Code of Ukraine introduced selective customs control, it is determined that the forms and scope of control sufficient to ensure compliance with legislation on state customs and international treaties of Ukraine in customs clearance are selected by customs (customs posts) based on the results of risk management. Conclusion. The study analyzes the peculiarities of the customs risk management system application in customs control in Ukraine, and offers proposals for the use of subject-oriented criteria of customs control as a simplification for honest economic operators to reduce the selectivity of risk profiles ASUR.
