Abstract

The problems of the reform of social support system are analyzed, the ways of raising of the privileges and subsidies effectiveness are marked. More than two decades ago, Ukrainian society has entered a phase of radical institutional change, social and economic consequences of which actualized the issue of social support. Decline in living standards in the country and the deterioration of its quality parameters acted as the main driver revision of conceptual foundations of the current system of social protection. The purpose of this article - to outline key issues of reforming the system of social support related to the provision of incentives and subsidies to develop recommendations for optimizing the process. Those and other choices of benefits and subsidies emerged today in almost all developed countries. In the U.S. and the UK, they have a «fingerprint» of a liberal approach to the organization of social protection, fundamental principles which have minimal involvement of the state in the market, limited the application of state regulation, the implementation of social support by citizens of developed insurance systems. Every stage changes of the reforms made by governments in benefits, allowances, subsidies should be more comprehensive, thoughtful, consistent character. This means not only the consistency provisions of various regulations and innovations in their content. The planned effects of social support program will be felt only if their implementation in conjunction with other measures. Social relationships that unfold in a particular sector of society can not be separated from the others, although in this case they are governed by relatively independent means and mechanisms. Reform of social support is associated with a number of other tasks. These are the efficiency of redistribution and regulation of incomes and wages, employment, support for private initiative and small business development of compulsory social insurance pension system. It is difficult to talk about the effectiveness of social services if this process is provided by social workers, wages of whose are barely on subsistence level. Optimization of operating from a model of social support with regard to those who spread abroad, it is possible, but only in parallel with the approach to existing standards where the standard of living and quality of social services.
