Abstract

Modern problems of the social protection system and social services of the population indicate the need for its qualitative transformation in accordance with socio-economic and political challenges and the dominant needs of the population under martial law. This requires the application of a scientific approach to the analysis of the social protection system as an object of sociological and managerial reflection, in particular the management component.

The development of Ukrainian society in the present period, the transformation of the social, economic and political spheres of society involves the introduction of new approaches to managing the social protection system of the population, which, firstly, is associated with the gradual formation of a new model of social policy of the neoliberal type, secondly, the decentralization of the state administration system, and, thirdly - with the expansion of the sphere of interaction between the state and civil society, especially in the system of social protection and the provision of social services to the population. In general, in the conditions of transitivity of modern Ukrainian society, the characteristic features of which are the development of a social state, the development of a socially oriented economy and the formation of a democratic type of social management, the problem of modernization of the system of social protection and social services is extremely important both in a purely theoretical, and in practical aspects related to the process of providing social services during the war and post-war periods.

The management departments and services established in Ukraine ensure the implementation of state policy on social support and the provision of social services to persons belonging to vulnerable groups of the population and/or living in difficult life circumstances in cities. The task of social protection of the population is to bring social services closer to the citizens of the state, make them high-quality, reach every person, and not leave them without attention and timely assistance.
