Improving public-legal regulation of relations in the sphere of social protection in the context of Ukraine's european integration
Abstract
In the context of Ukraine's European integration, the development of the domestic model of the social state, as well as the challenges caused by the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, research on improving public-legal regulation in the sphere of social protection is being updated. The purpose of the study is to theoretically substantiate the directions for improving public-legal regulation of social security relations in the context of Ukraine's European integration. The study is based on philosophical-worldview, general scientific and special-scientific research methods (dialectical, systemic, analytical, formal-logical, functional, prognostic, etc.). Based on the analysis of approaches to the essence of public-legal regulation of relations in the sphere of social protection, its author's definition is proposed, the specifics of such regulation and its properties are clarified. Attention is focused on the need to transition from the model of emergency cash assistance to a human-centred approach. The fundamental principles that determine the nature and boundaries of public-legal regulation of relations in the field of social protection (legality, ensuring public interest in the social sphere, social responsibility of the state) are analyzed in detail. Proposals are formulated on areas for improving public-legal regulation of relations in the field of social protection in accordance with the key principles and rights formulated in the EU to support justice and well-being in the field of social protection, as well as the defined goals of sustainable development of Ukraine for the period up to 2030. Prospects for further research relate to the development of conceptual principles and strategies for the development of social support systems, effective mechanisms for involving citizens in the formation, implementation and evaluation of social policy, as well as further improvement of public-legal regulation of social protection taking into account the level of provision of social services.
