SOCIAL SECURITY: ESSENCE, COMPONENTS, FACTORS, MEANING IN THE CONDITIONS OF MODERN CHALLENGES

Abstract

The war in Ukraine created an extremely difficult situation in both the political, social and economic spheres. The problem of human security has become extremely urgent. Ensuring the economic security of the state is impossible without choosing and implementing the right strategy of socio-economic development. The article examines social security as a component of Ukraine's national security; the threats occurring in the socio-economic sphere were identified, in particular, a significant reduction in GDP, a decrease in investment activity, the weakening of state institutions in the field of economy and fiscal policy, mainly the commodity nature of the economy, high debt dependence of the state, a drop in population incomes, and an increase in the share of the informal economy. An assessment of the current and forecast levels of poverty in Ukraine was carried out; a general review of changes in indicators of the socio-economic sphere was carried out. current, identified factors of the decline of the demographic situation under the conditions of military invasion: decrease in birth rate, increase in mortality, internal and external migration, absence or absence of vital medicines and services. It was established that in the conditions of war, the level of satisfaction of basic human needs qualitatively decreases sharply, which is caused by a decrease in basic economic indicators, the part of the population that does not want to declare their work increases, the number of available workers decreases due to mobilization and migration; the organization of labor relations in the conditions of martial law (recruitment, dismissal, regime, vacations, etc.) becomes more difficult; ensuring safe working conditions, especially in a war zone, is extremely difficult. Proposed ways of reducing the threat to social security, in particular by intensifying the actions of the authorities in the process of solving social issues.
