PROBLEMS OF FINANCING OF SPHERE OF SOCIAL DEFENCE OF POPULATION IN UKRAINE AND WAYS OF THEIR OVERCOMING
Introduction. Features of the financing of social protection and social security in conditions of large-scale war include increased spending on military needs, assistance to IDPs, reconstruction of damaged infrastructure facilities, and provision of medical assistance to the injured. On the other hand, martial law can lead to a reduction in spending on social programs due to the redistribution of budget funds to the country’s defense needs. The study of this topic will make it possible to understand how the military conflict affects the financial possibilities of providing social protection and social security for the population of Ukraine, to identify problematic aspects and to look for effective financing strategies in such conditions. The purpose of the article is to reveal the theoretical and practical foundations of the financing mechanism of social protection and social security in Ukraine, to identify possible strategies and prospects for optimizing this system in the face of new challenges. Results. The theoretical foundations of financing social protection and social security in Ukraine are highlighted. The dynamics of budgetary financing of social protection and social security and the structure and composition of expenditures of the State and local budgets for social security and social security are analyzed. The peculiarities of expenditures on social protection and social welfare in the conditions of a large-scale war are highlighted. The main problems were revealed and ways of improving the system of financing social protection and social security were formed. Conclusions. The beginning of a large-scale war on the territory of Ukraine significantly affected the social protection of the population. The hostilities caused an increase in expenses for social assistance, and in the future only an increase in this item of expenses is predicted. In the post-war years, spending on social protection and social security will only increase due to a significant increase in war veterans, persons with disabilities, IDPs affected by the military conflict, as well as citizens who will suffer from economic difficulties and social challenges caused by the war. Therefore, today, an important task for the state is to ensure social protection and social security during such a crisis situation as war, and in the future - comprehensive regulation of the social protection system of Ukraine.
The world’s economic, social and political conditions are constantly changing, so the social protection system must be flexible, adaptive and take into account new challenges and trends, introduce innovations, and improve its efficiency to ensure stable and equitable development of society. For independent Ukraine, social protection is a relatively new social institution. Today, the system of legal regulation of social protection in Ukraine is established, but it is quite complex and includes a wide range of legislative acts. The purpose of this research is to summarize scientific findings and analyze the legal framework for the efficient functioning of the institution of social protection of the population in modern conditions, and to substantiate the government policy of building a model of national social policy of Ukraine which conforms to the principles and meets the standards of the European Union’s social policy. The novelty of the work lies in the further development of approaches to studying the theoretical aspects of social protection. The research is based on the data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, expert opinions, and open source information. The methods of measurement, grouping, comparative analysis, induction, deduction and generalization, etc. are used in the research. The article examines the concept of social protection in Ukraine as a system, defines the hierarchical levels of its legal regulation. The authors identify and characterize the specific functions of social protection which most fully reflect the essence of the country’s socio-economic life. Based on the analysis of the legal framework, the authors characterize the main state social guarantees for citizens and their dynamics. Considerable attention is given to the role of social protection in the context of military aggression, and the government’s involvement in solving urgent problems is outlined. In addition, the authors analyze the government’s policy on the necessity of introducing a new model of social policy that would conform to the principles and meet the standards of the European Union’s social policy.
