Social policy as a set of principles, legal norms, activities and institutions, aimed at creating conditions that ensure the quality of life of the citizens of a country, is an expression of the social relations between the state and its citizens. Social policy determines safety (social, health, economic) and security of the individuals in society.Social policy should be seen as an activity that guarantees the security of those affected by the risks of labour, family and life. In a broader sense, social policy regulates a very broad range of social relationships that relate to employment, income, education, and others. Social security can therefore be seen as the main objective of social policy. In modern concepts, social security is perceived as a system of public rules, institutions and social payments that enable the dignified exitense of every person, who in an unusual state of vitality. Social security can therefore be seen as a set of measures to protect people in an unusual situation. Forms of social security: social security coverage; social assistance; social provision.Apart from thier nature, purpose and funding, social security and social assistance differ according to the principles of organization and management. Social assistance is a decentralized system, and social security can be centralized or decentralized depending on the principles adopted. Through these forms of social security, people receive material security for their existence on the basis of common and unified rules. In any case, however, not always will the indigent be covered by these forms of social security, regardless of their social protection needs. It is possible that even socially protected persons may be in need because of the low income recevied by this system. In such cases the intervention of social assistance is needed as a means of “plugging the holes”. For the sake of clarity, social security can be defined as the first defense net, and social assistance as the second defense net, i.e. social assistance must take on the part of the population which, for one or other reason, does not fall from or land either from the upper levels of the social protection system or when the level of this protection has been insufficient or it provides social protection from the last instance.

The scientific article reveals the formation of the Ukrainian system of social protection (historical aspect). The main stages of development of social policy in Ukraine, from the first origins to the key principles of modern social policy are described. The desire of the Ukrainian authorities to renounce the paternalistic role and alimony is emphasized. Priorities for activities in the social sphere have been identified: guaranteeing social rights, increasing the effectiveness of social programs, assistance to vulnerable groups (large and low-income families, servicemen, people with special needs, victims of violence, etc.). The general scheme of the social protection system in Ukraine is presented, which consists of two main parts: compulsory state social insurance, which is formed through the contributions of employers and working citizens to the relevant social insurance funds; system of social support (assistance, benefits, subsidies, social services), which is mainly formed by taxation and financed from the state budget. Further ways of scientific research are outlined (content and principles of realization of the state social programs on support of vulnerable segments of the population).

Resumo: O presente artigo objetiva analisar o regime constitucional da Assistência Social para demonstrar o verdadeiro papel desse subsistema para assegurar o alcance do princípio da universalidade da cobertura e do atendimento, prescrito no artigo 194, parágrafo único, inciso I, da Constituição de 1988. Para tanto, parte-se da prescrição constitucional (artigo 201) de que a previdência social é devida ao trabalhador e seu dependente, mas que existe uma parte da população brasileira que não trabalha ou está em condições precárias de trabalho, e que demanda proteção social diante da sua situação de vulnerabilidade. Para desenvolver esta pesquisa, partiu-se do método dedutivo, em que a assistência social foi estudada preliminarmente no plano constitucional para, depois, ser compendiada a jurisprudência pátria com o intuito de obter resultados teóricos e empíricos da realidade da seguridade social no Brasil, especialmente em relação à concretização da assistência social na busca da universalização.Abstract: This article aims to analyze the constitutional system of Social Assistance to demonstrate the true role of this subsystem to ensure the scope of the principle of the universality of coverage and care, prescribed in article 194, sole paragraph, item I, of the 1988 Constitution, it is based on the constitutional prescription (article 201) that social security is due to the worker and his dependents, but that there is a part of the Brazilian population that does not work or is in precarious working conditions, and that demands social protection before the vulnerability. In order to develop this research, it was based on the deductive method, in which the social assistance was preliminarily studied at the constitutional level and then the country jurisprudence was summarized in order to obtain theoretical and empirical results of the social security situation in Brazil, especially in relation to the realization of social assistance in the search for universalization.

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the system of organizations for children with the limited psychophysical possibilities in Ukraine. There is a system of governmental and non-governmental organizations working with children with limited psychophysical abilities. It is noted that at present there are at least two main strategies of social assistance, social security and protection of people with limited psychophysical capabilities. The first one is more focused on supporting the functioning of the system of institutions (boarding schools, residentional homes for people with disabilities, etc.) intended to help the children, young people and adults with special needs. The strategy is aimed at those people who live at home, but its priority areas are, first of all, financial allowance (payment of pensions and material assistance) and certain public welfare (social assistance, support), carried out through territorial institutions of the social security system. The second strategy involves the social adaptation of children (in particular, the inculcating life skills, vocational training, manifestation of creative potential to independent adult) and implemented by social rehabilitation centers. The comparative characteristic of the Community initiatives is shown in the article. The activities of social organizations aimed at social integration and provision of available integrated care services, habilitation and rehabilitation programs, providing support for children with special psychophysical capabilities. The organizations try to help a child to find his/her place in the new society. The main goal of the rehabilitation centers’ activities is not only the reconstruction of the form and contents of work, but the desire to break and rebuild as a whole the attitudes towards children with special needs with consideration for their needs and problems. This is achieved by the following: coordinate the efforts of various experts dealing with the children with disabilities; provide early diagnostics developmental disorders; investigate a child’s personality, reveal his/her abilities, optimize the choice of the adaptation and educational program; elaborate a program for the raising of children with different levels of mental disabilities; elaborate preventive measures; prepare people for education in special classes at regular schools and through professional assimilation.

AbstractThis chapter discusses the general legal framework regulating Russia’s welfare system and access for national citizens, foreigners residing in the country, and national citizens residing abroad to social benefits in five policy areas: unemployment, health care, family benefits, pensions, and guaranteed minimum resources. Our analysis shows that the eligibility of Russian nationals for social benefits depends either on their employment status and contribution record (for pensions and other social insurance benefits), or their residence status (for social assistance and healthcare). The overall level of social protection of citizens residing in different parts of the country may differ substantially due to the decentralized structure of the social protection system in Russia. The rights of foreign residents to social security benefits are essentially the same as those of the nationals, as long as they are legally employed and make social security contributions. However, there are two major exceptions: pensions and unemployment benefits. Social assistance benefits provided at the regional level are typically available to all legal residents, foreigners included, with few exceptions. When deciding to permanently move abroad, Russian citizens lose their entitlement to claim social benefits from Russia, apart from acquired contributory public pensions.

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.
