Chapter 3 sets out the key theories with which the book engages: food insecurity and the human right to food. Following on from a conceptualisation and definition of food insecurity, the right to food is introduced. Emphasis is placed on normative element of ‘adequacy and sustainability of food availability and access’ and on the state’s obligation to ‘respect, protect and fulfil the right to food’. Theories of ‘othering’ and ‘agency’ are employed to assess the social acceptability of emergency food systems as a means of acquiring food, and the power of providers to make sufficient food available through these systems and of potential recipients to access it. Theories of ‘care’ and ‘social protection’ are employed to explore the ways in which charitable providers are in practice taking responsibility for the duty to respect, protect and fulfil the right to food and how shifts in welfare policy are affecting need for this provision.

Summary the article has analyzed the existing scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the level of social security of the state. It was revealed that they differ because: scientists include various components that form social security; they use various indicators and calculation methods; have various aspects of both generalization and practical direction. It was revealed that most often the components of social security include: safety of life, health, social protection and aspects of social and labor relations. The methods that are most often used in calculating the level of social security were considered. It was proved that in assessment, the selection of indicators that pose a threat, is the difficult task. It was revealed that there is no legally approved methodology for assessing the social security of the state. The use of various social security assessment methodologies was analyzed. Emphasis was placed on the selection of indicators used in these techniques. It was concluded that for assessing the social security of the state, an integral indicator is used most often. At the same time, scientists prefer their own set of indicators. The author’s definition of «social security» was presented, which allowed the formation of four components of the state’s social security (life, poverty, health and education). It was established that the choice of indicators for assessing the social security of the state should cover a retrospective period and should be based on both reporting and calculated data. A hierarchical model of an integral indicator of state social security was proposed. There was defined a set of indicators for each of proposed component. The following algorithm has been proposed for assessing the integral indicator of state social security: the formation of the components of social security and the definition of indicative indicators for each of the components; formation of a database; determination of an integral indicator; determining the influence of each component on the change in the integral indicator; interpretation of indicators; determining the sustainability of hazardous trends.

The Welfare State

The chapter aims to introduce some considerations with a historical approach related to the evolution of the cultural stances adopted by the leading forces of the worker and socialist movement - particularly those of reformist orientation - towards the policies of social protection. Moreover, it outlines a general scheme of a time period, which allows to view the evolution of social welfare systems into the welfare-state model. The first result of this research program is that the ongoing exchance of views that led to the Welfare State did not follow a straight line. Moreover, even the definition of socialism and social-democracy requires to be dealt with in a more pluralistic view, taking into account the variety and the differences in both doctrines and practices to be found in the European countries, even if inside a common political family. Examining the cultural ideas of the social-democracies which grow towards social protection policies it helps scholars to debunk several generalizations and see gaps and recurring features if a "path dependence" approach is followed. The idea that history of welfare state can be described as a sort of continuous and mechanical process of enlightened conceptions and reform projects which little by little become modern and advanced, is problematic. Since that it appears to be more as the result of a series, sometimes casual, of choices motivated by necessity and contingent situations.

The aim of the study is to assess the level of social security in the Republic of Bashkortostan to determine the most possible social risks and develop recommendations for their minimization. The authors use methods of statistical analysis, calculation and analysis of social, economic, demographic indicators and materials provided by the Russian region. According to the results of the study, the authors determined the actual values of indicators that determine the level of social security of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2015–2019 and revealed deviations from the threshold values of indicators with a trend of exceeding and decreasing. The study concludes that the most significant risks for the social security of the region are a noticeable increase in problems associated with material and social inequality, an increase in urbanization, an aging population and an increase in economic migration. The results of scientific research and the model of social security developed on their basis can be used by regional executive bodies performing functions for the development and implementation of state policy, in the legal regulation of the social sphere, in the development of measures to minimize social protection risks.

The Impact

The relevance of the article is that when forming a theoretical and legal position on the content of a phenomenon or object, the issue of its settlement by law is especially important. The study of various aspects of judges' pensions has shown the key role of the normative component in the content of this problem, through which the legal reality establishes its influence on the relations arising in the field of pensions of judges. It should be noted that the legal regulation is characterized by the following features: it is, first, the impact of law on public relations, which is carried out through a separate group of legal instruments - legal norms; secondly, normative-legal regulation is a part of complex legal influence, in other words, it shows only one of clusters of legal regulation of the corresponding object; thirdly, the intensity, efficiency, breadth and other mechanical factors of legal regulation directly depend on the quality and system of legal provisions and norms that build the content of the category. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists, proposes the author's definition of the concept of legal regulation of judges' pensions. The main normative-legal acts of the legislative and by-law level which fix the principles of regulation of public relations in the field of pension provision of judges are singled out. It is concluded that the main feature of the legal regulation of judges' pensions is the presence of two groups of legal documents, namely: general, which establish guarantees of social protection and pensions in Ukraine as a whole, led by the Constitution, and special - the Law of Ukraine "On Judiciary and the Status of Judges" dated 02.06.2016 №1402-VIII, documents of judicial self-government bodies - establish the peculiarities of judges receiving pensions and monthly lifetime allowance. At the same time, the disadvantage of the special legal framework is the lack of norms that clearly explain the procedure and features of both types of pensions for judges, by paying them pensions in the general order and a monthly lifetime allowance. In particular, the special normative-legal base does not explain the content of the monthly lifetime cash maintenance and the main points of its legal significance.

This study aims to assess differences in the working population of Chile under the definition of informal employment. A new categorization of informal employment is proposed, with a focus on social protection as a key element in the definition of informal employment status, thereby making visible different groups of workers that until now remained hidden. From a mixed methodological strategy that combines literature review, key informant interviews, and quantitative data analysis, the researchers seek to understand the complexity of the social phenomenon of informality.

Characterising people with disabilities at the population level using the ICF approach is a challenge, as it implies that researchers are able to identify variables that can account for the components that make up the multidimensional definition of disability. The purpose of this study is to generate updated information on disability in Uruguay, as there has been no in-depth analysis of how this population lives, how they access the services and benefits that affect their quality of life, and what the significant differences are between those who make up this population. A quantitative analysis was applied to the target population, consisting of participants in the Longitudinal Survey of Social Protection (2016) who reported at least one limitation in performing ADLs and who were in the age range of 18–64 years. Significant differences were found between the different groups in terms of their reported limitations in relation to obtaining necessary services due to their health condition, dropping out of education before completing the compulsory level, low labour market insertion, feelings of loneliness, and low participation. More research needs to be done as it is clear that people with disabilities do not have access to the support they need, which leads to even greater exclusion.
