Introduction

The relevance of the topic of work It follows from the fact that the political and socio-economic processes of the 1990s were accompanied not only by an increase in the scale of negative social phenomena, but also by the appearance of phenomena - mass poverty and outright unemployment. All this means a sharp increase in the number of people in need of social support. As a result of these processes, the importance of the state's activities in the field of social protection of the population has sharply increased. In response to this “challenge”, social legislation began to be intensively improved.

One of the main tasks of the state is the activity of social protection of the population. The current socio-economic, moral, psychological and spiritual situation in Russia is extremely contradictory and multifaceted. The number of people with incomes below the subsistence minimum is practically not decreasing, the differentiation of the population by income is increasing, tension in the labor market is increasing, and arrears in paying wages, pensions and social benefits, tendencies of trouble, including social deviations, are acutely manifested. The current situation requires the adoption of adequate measures, primarily in the field of developing the system of social protection of the population and ensuring social security, which can only be achieved through a competent and effective social policy of the state.

Russia has adopted laws and other regulations, both at the federal and regional level providing for an increase in the number of categories of the population recognized as socially vulnerable, expanding the list of social payments, benefits, compensations, and services provided to them.

A system of bodies, institutions and enterprises emerged and began to expand, spending for these purposes from the budgets of all levels, extra-budgetary social funds, designed to ensure the provision of social payments to the population in cash, as well as the provision of various kinds of social services in kind.

Social protection and decent employment are essential components of a market economy to ensure income security for all. Social protection also has an important positive impact on society as a whole by promoting social cohesion and providing a general sense of security among members of society.

Social protection of the population is one of the most important components of the social policy of the state and social and labor relations. Its subject field covers the basic conditions of people's life: the material support of the population and the organization of social and medical assistance to disabled members of society.

Today, the social protection of the population should play not only the role of social compensation for the poor, but also serve as a certain counterbalance to the rapidly growing wealth inequality. An important problem is the protection of the entire population from progressive impoverishment.

In the current economic and socio-political conditions, the role and importance of the system of social protection of the population has increased significantly. Often, the bodies and institutions of social services are the only structures, the appeal to which leaves a person with hope of receiving support and assistance in resolving his life problems.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation (RF) is proclaimed welfare state. His most character traits reflected in the ongoing social policy, which, according to Art. 7 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is aimed at creating conditions that ensure a decent life and free development of a person.

Social policy is carried out on different levels management: micro level, macro level, integration level, world level.

At present, four main areas of social protection of the population are distinguished in the Russian Federation: 1) social protection of children, childhood and adolescence; 2) social protection of the able-bodied population; 3) social protection of disabled citizens; 4) social protection of the family.

State bodies carrying out social protection of the population: the Ministry of Labor and social development RF; executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation; district (city) bodies of social protection of the population.

In the Chechen Republic, there is an extensive structure of social service institutions, adapted to the conditions of market relations, consisting of stationary and non-stationary social protection institutions, institutions providing rehabilitation services.

The benchmark for the development of the system of social services in the Chechen Republic is to improve the quality of life of the population. This indicator is an integral characteristic of the physical, psychological, emotional and social functioning of a person and generally determines the effectiveness of actions in this direction.

The degree of scientific development. In an effort to take part in improving the system of protecting the rights of citizens in the context of radical changes social sphere, specialists in the field of philosophy, sociology, pedagogy, psychology and other sciences, focused on topical issues of social protection. Such researchers as V.G. Bocharova, S.I. Grigoriev, L.G. Guslyakova, N.S. Danakin, V.I. Zhukov, I.G. , P.D. Pavlenok, A.M. Panov, A.S. Sorvina, M.V. Firsov, E.I. Kholostova, E.R. Yarskaya-Smirnova and others tried to comprehend the essence of social protection.

Chapter1 . Theoretical foundations of the system of social protection of the population

1.1 The concept, principles and essence of the social protection system

In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation (RF) is proclaimed a social state. Its most characteristic features are reflected in the ongoing social policy, which, according to Art. 7 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is aimed at creating conditions that ensure a decent life and free development of a person. Constitution of the Russian Federation

Social policy is carried out at different levels of management:

· the micro-level conducts social policy of individual economic entities of the economy (firms, enterprises, organizations);

· the macro-level implements national and regional social policy;

· at the integration level, it is supposed to implement a coordinated social policy of two or more countries;

· global level - social policy is aimed at solving global social problems. The implementation of social policy requires the allocation of appropriate economic resources, the creation of social infrastructure.

Social protection of the population of any state is part of the general policy of the state, which concerns relations between social groups, between society as a whole and its members, associated with changes in the social structure, the growth of the welfare of citizens, aimed at ensuring social, economic, political and other rights and guarantees of a person regardless of his gender, nationality, age, place of residence and other circumstances.

There are basically two models of social protection in the world:

· social-democratic orientation with a high role of the state in the socialization of incomes and the essential importance of nationwide social control mechanisms;

· neoliberal - with a lesser degree of state intervention in socio-economic processes.

Depending on the approaches chosen, the following social protection systems are distinguished:

· state, based on the principle of state social care for socially vulnerable members of society and social charity (it provides for a differentiated approach to the definition of low-income groups of the population according to the degree of need and preferential provision of social assistance to them);

private, based on the principle of responsibility of each member of society for their own destiny and the destiny of their family, using their own labor and entrepreneurial activity income, income from property, as well as personal savings (this system is oriented towards distribution according to work and includes private social insurance).

As for the social protection of the population of the Russian Federation, at the present stage it is the most important and priority direction of the social policy of the Russian state, being a system of principles, methods, legally established by the state social guarantees, measures and institutions that ensure the provision of optimal living conditions, satisfaction of needs, maintenance of life support and active existence of the individual, various social categories and groups; a set of measures, actions, means of the state and society directed against risk situations in the normal life of citizens. Panteleeva T.S., Chervyakova G.A. Economic foundations of social work: A textbook for university students - M .: Humanitarian publishing center "VLADOS", 2005. Social protection of the population is a set of measures to ensure a state-guaranteed minimum level of material support for socially vulnerable segments of the population during economic transformations. Dictionary-reference book on social work / Ed. E.I. Single. - M.: Lawyer, 2000.

Characteristic of the current stage is the rapid development of the methodology and methods of social protection of the population, which is of great practical and theoretical importance. It should be noted that the methodology of social protection is understood as a system of principles and methods for organizing and building theoretical and practical activities aimed at risk situations in the normal life of citizens, such as illness, unemployment, old age, disability, death of the breadwinner, and others, and under the methodology - a set of techniques, methods of research and operations of practical and theoretical development of the social protection of the population as a system. Dictionary-reference book on social work / Ed. E.I. Single. - M.: Lawyer, 2000.

The legal basis for social protection of certain categories of the population is made up of the following laws of the Russian Federation - "On forced migrants", "On employment in the Russian Federation", "On social protection of the disabled", "On social services for the elderly and disabled", "On the basics of labor protection in the Russian Federation”, “On the Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation”, etc.

Social protection of citizens is carried out at the expense of the federal, regional and local budgets, specially created funds for social support of the population, non-state funds.

The main principles of social protection of the population are formulated in the conventions international organization labor (ILO), which aim each state to provide social guarantees to the entire population under various circumstances that threaten health or material well-being. At the same time, the ILO conventions provide the main types of social protection, regulate their minimum level and categories of the population to which they should apply. National systems of social protection are formed on the basis of ILO conventions, taking into account the specifics of the economic, social and cultural development of a particular country.

The current system of social protection in Russia is based on the following principles:

Encouragement - in order to create a socio-political resonance for certain socially significant events that have received public assessment, or to support important state deeds, decisions are made that are focused on social support for individual social groups, segments of the population, and in some cases - individuals;

Applicability - social assistance is provided to a needy citizen as soon as a written request is made by the applicant or a person representing his interests;

paternalism, meaning state guardianship(“fatherly care”) in relation to less socially and economically protected strata and groups of the population, as well as humanity, social justice, targeting, complexity, ensuring the rights and freedoms of the individual.

The objects of social protection are social institutions represented by specific social organizations, institutions, systems (education, healthcare, social protection, employment, labor, culture, sports and recreation complex).

The central subject of social protection is the state. A person in need of social protection is both a subject and an object of social protection.

The criteria for identifying priority objects of social protection are the size of the average monthly income per family member (in comparison with the subsistence minimum budget), the availability of a source of livelihood (unemployed, disabled - in whole or in part), environmental and social ill-being (victims of social and interethnic conflicts, refugees and displaced persons, victims and residents of ecologically unfavorable territories), the need for assistance (pregnant women, war veterans and blockade survivors, persons after punishment in correctional labor institutions). For each category of socially vulnerable segments of the population, its own social protection program is being developed.

The specificity of the social protection of the population is expressed in the fact that this is a form of distribution of material wealth not in exchange for the efforts expended in the process of labor activity, but in order to meet the physical, social and other needs of the elderly, the sick, the unemployed, persons with minimal incomes, in a word, - those who are not able to independently provide a decent life for themselves and their families, as well as all members of society in order to protect the health and normal reproduction of the working family.

Based on this specificity, the following signs of social protection of the population are distinguished:

· objective grounds that necessitate the use of appropriate mechanisms aimed at maintaining or ensuring a certain standard of living;

any means of providing a livelihood;

· consolidation of the rules for the provision of social protection in social, including legal norms.

The essence of the social protection of the population is most clearly manifested in its functions: economic, political, demographic and social rehabilitation.

The economic function is to replace earnings (income or maintenance) lost due to age, disability or loss of a breadwinner; partial reimbursement of additional expenses upon the occurrence of certain life circumstances; providing minimal monetary or in-kind assistance to poor citizens.

The political function contributes to the maintenance of social stability in a society in which there are significant differences in the standard of living of various segments of the population.

The demographic function is designed to stimulate the reproduction of the population, which is necessary for the normal development of the country.

The social rehabilitation function is aimed at restoring the social status of disabled citizens and other socially weak groups of the population, allowing them to feel like full members of society.

Social protection of the population is a system that includes several subsystems. It should be noted that the components of social protection of the population are not always possible to clearly distinguish. In addition, there are differences in their understanding in different countries.

"Social security is a system of providing and serving the elderly and disabled citizens, as well as families with children." Yurieva T.V. Social economy. - Publishing house "Drofa", 2003

The social security system typically includes:

· pensions;

benefits for workers (for temporary disability, for pregnancy and childbirth, etc.);

allowances for families with children;

unemployment benefits, etc.

“Pensions are regular cash payments provided to citizens upon reaching a certain age, disability, in case of loss of a breadwinner, as well as for long service and special merits to the state. Distinguish between labor and social pensions.

Labor pensions include pensions for old age, disability, in case of loss of a breadwinner, as well as for years of service. Yurieva T.V. Social economy. - Publishing house "Drofa", 2003

Men who have reached the age of 60 and have at least 25 years of work experience, and women who have reached 55 years of age with at least 20 years of work experience, are entitled to an old-age pension in Russia. Some categories of citizens receive pensions on preferential terms. This applies to citizens working in heavy, unhealthy industries, as well as mothers of many children, parents of people with disabilities since childhood.

Disability pension is established in connection with a long-term or permanent actual loss of ability to work (disability). The conditions and norms of pension provision depend on the nature of labor relations, the causes of disability, etc. In case of disability due to an industrial injury, occupational disease, a pension is assigned regardless of the length of service. If disability is the result common disease, then when calculating the pension, a certain total length of service is taken into account.

A survivor's pension is granted to disabled family members of the deceased who were previously dependent on him (children, brothers, sisters, etc.).

A retirement pension is established for those categories of citizens who are employed in jobs leading to disability or fitness before the age that gives the right to an old-age pension (aviation workers, miners, geologists, sailors, etc.).

Social pension is assigned to non-working citizens in the absence of the right to a labor pension.

Social security also includes the payment of benefits to working citizens. These include: benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth. Special attention in the social market economy is given to families with children. The state pays them benefits that help to ensure normal living conditions for the younger generation.

Social services for the elderly and disabled are an important part of social security.

Social services for the elderly and disabled in a market economy are assigned both to state social service centers and to the non-state sector. The non-state sector of social services includes public associations, including professional associations, charitable and religious organizations, whose activities are related to social services for the elderly and disabled.

The payment of unemployment benefits is another line of activity for social security. The amount of unemployment benefit in different countries calculated differently. In Russia, the amount of unemployment benefit is set as a percentage of the average earnings calculated for the last 3 months at the last place of work, if the employee had at least 26 calendar weeks of paid work during the 12 months preceding the onset of unemployment.

If the unemployed person has dependents, then he is paid an additional 10% of the one-time allowance for each dependent.

In the Russian Federation, the duration of the period for the payment of unemployment benefits cannot exceed 12 calendar months in total terms within 18 calendar months. If an unemployed person has not obtained a suitable paid job during this period, he is entitled to a second period of unemployment benefit in the amount of the minimum wage.

Unemployment benefits are paid at least twice a month, subject to the re-registration of the unemployed within the terms established by the employment service. Longer terms for the payment of unemployment benefits may be established by regional and local authorities state authorities, subject to their payment at the expense of the relevant budgets.

The payment of unemployment benefits may be suspended for up to three months in cases of employment of an unemployed person in a temporary job or part-time job without notifying the employment center, violation of registration rules by the unemployed person.

Social guarantees are the implementation by the state of the constitutional rights of citizens to improve the most important social benefits and services. Social guarantees provided by the state to the population in the Russian Federation include:

the right of citizens to choose a place of work, to professional activity;

the minimum wage;

The minimum pension

a one-time allowance for the birth of each child;

monthly allowance for children of single mothers, military personnel passing military service by conscription, for children whose parents evade paying alimony, etc.;

· ritual allowance;

the minimum amount of unemployment benefits;

the minimum amount of the scholarship;

The right to housing

the right to health protection and medical care;

the right to education.

Social assistance is care for citizens in need of support, assistance due to age, health, social status, insufficient personal income based on a means test. In Russia, social assistance is provided to pensioners, the disabled, refugees and internally displaced persons, citizens exposed to radiation as a result of catastrophes at nuclear power plants and other accidents, etc. Social assistance is provided in the form of cash and (or) in-kind payments (free meals, housing, clothing, services).

Social insurance is a system of material support in case of temporary disability, old age, disability, loss of a breadwinner, as well as recreational activities (sanatoriums, rest homes, medical nutrition, pioneer camps, etc.). Social insurance considers social types of risk: disability due to illness, old age, accident, job loss, etc. This risk is massive, social, i.e. social character, since it is largely determined by social conditions and does not depend (depends little) on each individual person.

Unlike other types of social protection of the population, social risk is taken into account in advance. Possible financial costs associated with this risk are also distributed in advance among all participants in the organization. Insurance for each type of social risk may be voluntary or mandatory.

From the point of view of the range of impact and scope, social insurance is divided into state, regional, municipal (local), professional (according to professional and sectoral characteristics), and international. State (universal) insurance covers significant masses of the population in the country. Municipal insurance covers only a certain part of the country. Occupational insurance is organized for certain categories of workers (pilots, miners). International insurance is valid for the population of several countries.

Social insurance includes not only cash payments, compensations, but also certain services for treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. With the socialization of the economy, services for treatment, rehabilitation and prevention are constantly growing and determine the effectiveness of social insurance in general.

Financing of social insurance is carried out at the expense of employers, employees with possible participation of the state. Payments are made from special funds formed on the basis of contributions (pension funds, health insurance funds, etc.).

AT modern Russia the social insurance system as a whole has lost the main features of insurance relations and has actually become part of the state tax system. In most cases, insurance premiums are charged without taking into account the assessment of social risks.

Summarizing the above, it should be emphasized that most types of social protection are provided free of charge at the expense of centralized non-budgetary bodies of social purpose or part of budget funds. At the same time, in conditions of limited financial and material resources, all types of social protection within the framework of social assistance and social support must have a character and be provided taking into account the need.

1.2 Organizational and legal forms, directions and functions of social protection of the population

AT modern conditions social protection becomes the most important function of society, all its state bodies and social institutions. There are also forms of social protection of a private nature - pensions, health insurance, social services. This indicates that in our country there is a multi-layered organizational structure a system of social protection of the population, which uses almost all organizational and legal forms that exist in countries with a market economy, although they do not function fully due to the unresolved number of theoretical and organizational problems.

The leading organizational and legal forms of SZN are currently pensions, social benefits, benefits for especially needy categories of the population, state social insurance, and social services.

Pension provision is a state regular cash payment (calculated per month), a pension that is paid in accordance with the established procedure to certain categories of persons from social funds and other sources intended for these purposes. Social Policy: Textbook / Ed. ON THE. Volgin. Moscow. 2002.

Pension relations in Russia are regulated by the laws “On State Pensions”, “On Amendments to the Law of the RSFSR “On State Pensions in the RSFSR” (in the title and text of the Law, the abbreviation “RSFSR” is replaced by the words “Russian Federation”), “On Pensions for Persons serving in the internal affairs bodies, and their families” and others.

Pensions are paid upon reaching a certain age; the onset of disability; death of the breadwinner; long-term performance of a certain professional activity- length of service.

The main types of pensions are labor and social. The labor pension includes old-age pension (by age); disability pension; survivor's pension; retirement pension.

If citizens for some reason do not have the right to a labor pension, a social pension is established for them.

Women are entitled to a pension on a general basis upon reaching the age of 55 with a total length of service of at least 20 years, and men upon reaching 69 years of age with a length of service of at least 25 years.

Financing the payment of pensions is carried out by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the expense of insurance premiums of employers and citizens, as well as at the expense of the federal budget of Russia.

All pensions are indexed in accordance with the established procedure in connection with the increase in the cost of living. With an increase in the minimum size of pensions, all pensions increase in proportion to the increase in their minimum size.

The development of pension provision is carried out on the basis of the concept of the reform of the pension provision system in Russia, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The concept assumes a smooth transition to a new funded principle of pension provision with the preservation of pension rights enshrined in the current pension system. The reform is provided for by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 26, 1997 No. 222 “On the Program of Social Reforms in the Russian Federation”. :

· introduction of a system of individual (personalized) accounting of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;

Ensuring the stability of the real value of the pension, achieving a fair differentiation of the size of the pension based on the labor contribution, establishing a permanent mechanism for indexing pensions through the application of the individual coefficient of the pensioner, based on the growth of the average wage in national economy countries;

· strengthening the financial stability of the budget of the Pension Fund of Russia to ensure timely financing of pension payments.

The reform of pension provision will make it possible to turn it into an effective element of the system of social protection of the population.

Another organizational and legal form of social protection of the population is the provision of social benefits, benefits to especially needy categories of the population.

In modern conditions in the country, the number of social payments and benefits is over 1000, they are established for more than 200 categories of citizens, the number of persons applying for them reaches almost 100 million people (disabled people, veterans, children, unemployed and others). With the help of social benefits and privileges, the implementation of social guarantees for citizens is ensured, individual situations and the presence of such circumstances as poverty, orphanhood, unprotected motherhood, unemployment are taken into account more fully. prolonged illness and others.

However, the current practice of paying social benefits is not perfect. It was not possible to ensure the fair use of funds allocated for these purposes, to provide them targetedly, to better use the capabilities of the regions in strengthening the financial base for providing social guarantees. Therefore, these issues are currently the focus of attention of state and other bodies, social service institutions.

Compulsory state social insurance is a means of compensating for social risk and a means of social redistribution, taking into account the principle of social justice. State social insurance is a state-established and regulated the rights of the system of material support for workers in old age, in the event of temporary or permanent disability of members of the families of workers (in the event of loss of a breadwinner), as well as the protection of the health of workers and members of their families. Yakushev L.P. Social protection: Textbook. Moscow. 1998.

State social insurance is carried out at the expense of special funds formed from mandatory contributions from employers and (in some cases) employees, as well as subsidies from the federal budget for the material support of employees and their families.

Contributions intended for state social insurance are paid by enterprises, organizations, individual citizens who use the labor of hired workers in their personal households, as well as workers from their earnings.

Provision for state social insurance is divided into cash payments, material benefits and services. In modern conditions, the need to reform the entire social insurance system, more complete use of proven in various countries the world of principles: the guarantee of assistance to the insured and the mandatory nature of the conditions and norms; payment; solidarity; automation of financing based on the accumulation of insurance premiums; strictly targeted nature of funds and their repayment; definition of insurance space combined with delimitation various kinds insurance and more. Improving social insurance provides for:

· exemption of state social off-budget funds from payments unusual for them, separation of insurance payments from taxes;

· the introduction of differentiated amounts of insurance premiums for state social insurance, depending on the degree of danger, harmfulness, severity of work and the state of working conditions;

· Strengthening the personal participation of citizens in the financing and management of the social insurance system;

· development of voluntary forms of social insurance at the expense of citizens and incomes of enterprises, and more.

This will turn social insurance into the most important reliable constituent part systems of social protection of the population. Social service is a wide range of socio-economic, medical-social, psychological-pedagogical, social-legal, social-domestic and other social services and material assistance, adaptation and rehabilitation of citizens who find themselves in a difficult life situation.

Functions are relatively independent, but closely related types of activities for the social protection of a person who finds himself in a difficult life situation.

In the process of developing the system of social protection of the population, the functions change, are filled with new content due to innovative technological methods, the complexity of the services provided and the expansion of their scope, and the improvement of the professionalism of specialists.

This reflects the process of mastering the new content of social protection activities, its increasingly clear orientation towards providing multilateral support to a person in need, ensuring his personal participation in resolving problems and difficulties that have arisen, and improving relations between people within the framework of various systems of assistance to the population.

The social protection system is a complex of legislative acts, measures, as well as institutions that ensure the implementation of social protection measures for the population, support for socially vulnerable segments of the population. It includes, first of all, social security, which, in turn, performs a number of functions. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 26, 1997 No. 222 "On the Program of Social Reforms in the Russian Federation".

Classification of social protection functions:

· economic functions social protection. Its essence lies in the fact that the state uses social protection as one of the ways to distribute part of the gross domestic product, thereby exerting a certain impact on equalizing the personal incomes of citizens by providing material benefits instead of lost earnings;

· the production function is expressed in the fact that the right to many types of social protection is conditioned by labor activity, and the level of protection often depends on its nature and the amount of remuneration for work;

· the social (social rehabilitation) function of social protection helps to maintain the social status of citizens in the event of various social risks by providing various types of material support. With the help of the social function, the rehabilitation direction of social protection is also carried out, the purpose of which is to restore the full life of a person;

· the political function allows the state to implement the main directions of social policy by means specific to social protection. The state of social peace in society depends on how effectively social protection performs its political function. Social tension in society at the present stage indicates that the state of Russian social protection does not meet the needs of the population.

· The demographic function is implemented through the impact of social protection on many demographic processes - on the life expectancy of the population, stimulation of the birth rate, etc.

Along with the above functions of social protection, there is also a spiritual and ideological function, which includes: ideological, moral and socio-psychological subfunctions.

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other loss of livelihood due to circumstances beyond his control.

Social protection of the population and the mechanism for its implementation are based on the relevant constitutional and legal guidelines. At present, there are four main areas of social protection of the population in the Russian Federation:

1. Social protection of children, childhood and adolescence, which is focused on creating conditions for the life and development of children, allowing all children, regardless of which family they were born and live in, to have the best opportunities for maintaining health, material well-being, free accessible education, preschool and school education, harmonious spiritual and moral development, realization of one's abilities. social protection population legal

State policy in the interests of children is based on the principles of legislative provision of the rights of the child; state support of the family in order to ensure the full-fledged upbringing of children, protect their rights, prepare them for a full life in society; establishment and observance of state minimum social standards of the main indicators of the quality of life of children, taking into account regional differences in these indicators; responsibility of officials, citizens for violation of the rights and legitimate interests of the child, causing harm to him; state support of local governments, public associations and other organizations engaged in activities to protect the rights and legitimate interests of the child.

Social protection of children and adolescents at the present stage is consistent with public policy in the field of childhood, which recognizes this period of a person's life as the most important stage, and therefore undertakes to do everything to prepare them for a full life. Social protection of children and adolescents is multidirectional, affecting the most various areas their livelihoods, however, the priority direction of work is work with children and adolescents suffering from one degree or another of social maladjustment, which leads them to the street, to drugs, prostitution, etc.

2. Social protection of the able-bodied population, designed "to provide for the creation of conditions that ensure a balance of rights, duties and interests of citizens, when a person can fully realize the ability to be economically independent, while not infringing on the interests of fellow citizens and participating in social assistance to those in need." Social protection of the able-bodied population, the protection of their labor are based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law "On the basics of labor protection in the Russian Federation", adopted on July 17, 1999, and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as laws and other legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation .

Thus, we can conclude that the social protection of the able-bodied population should include mechanisms that provide citizens of the Russian Federation with protection from social risks that prevent:

effective employment of a person;

providing, in accordance with the law, additional employment guarantees to categories of the population in need of special social protection and experiencing difficulties,

· payment and receipt of wages and all types of social benefits in the amounts and terms stipulated by the legislation;

protection of workers' health and prevention adverse conditions their labor;

providing and receiving material and other assistance to persons in crisis material and social situations;

· implementation by young people of their potential in scientific, cultural and sports plans;

Equality of rights for men and women in all matters of social life (first of all, we are talking about full actual equality in wages, promotion, access to education, scientific activity, culture and sports).

3. Social protection of disabled citizens, which should be aimed at the humanization of all spheres of life of these people. It is unacceptable that any of them feel like an extra person, burdening loved ones, society. Everyone should, as long as possible, retain the desire and ability to live in a family, actively participate in the economic, political, cultural development society, enjoy all its benefits and, if possible, increase them.

Social services for the elderly and disabled is an activity to meet their needs for social services.

The essence of social protection

Social protection itself is a system for distributing resources among vulnerable segments of the population. Insecurity is classified and defined according to some principles.

Public funds are based on a source of funding from the budget.

Thus, the funds directed to the social are formed at the expense of taxation. Social Security is:

  • care of the Russian Federation about people who have lost their ability to work;
  • implementation of guarantees for the population;
  • a framework to ensure that a minimum standard of living is maintained.

Principles of social protection

Social protection of the population is designed in such a way that it can be based on the following basic principles:

  • partnership. The state undertakes to fulfill its obligations to people for social protection, but partnership is an integral part of this. Therefore, close cooperation between the state and private organizations is observed everywhere;
  • economic justice. The very structure of the state is largely based on economic relations. Without the possession of certain resources, which are obtained through the ability to work, the life of citizens cannot be supported. The state must equalize the opportunities of people, determining, on the basis of the principle of economic justice, the priorities for the distribution of funds, and each of the categories of citizens must satisfy their own established individual needs in order to maintain a comfortable life;
  • adaptability. Social protection should work in such a way that it gradually improves itself, for which different links of the entire system of social relationships functioning in the state are responsible;
