Social security: new dimensions in the modern global environment

Abstract

The world is constantly changing, but the desire of a man and country for security remains unchanged, which certainly includes economic and social components. In emergencies, the challenges of social security become even more urgent, because the leveling of risks will contribute to the development and quality of human existence, the country, and if it is impossible to overcome the negative consequences in this area will delay the future. Therefore, the aim of the investigation is to analyze the socio-economic determinants that determine social security in today's global environment. Based on the author's methodology for assessing the level of social security, markers and indicators of social security are analyzed by groups: labor market, material well-being, quality of social and labor relations, identified environmental component as part of human security. The results of the investigation show the increase in risks in the labor market due to reduced employment opportunities, as evidenced by statistics on unemployment and the workload per vacancy. The instability of the labor market ecosystem, which has emerged from the covid-19 epidemic and is now exacerbated by hostilities, demonstrates the widening of labor market imbalances. As a result, the risks of social security in the group of material well-being increase. In particular, there is a growing trend of poor people, increasing opportunities for people to develop and maintain good health. Unfortunately, there are simultaneous processes of increasing pressure on the state to ensure sufficient level of social guarantees. Conditionally stable are the indicators of social security in the group of quality of social and labor relations, where there is satisfactory level of trust in social dialogue, adapted and selected the most effective methods of communication and introduced mixed regulations for work in enterprises. The assessment of the environmental component of human social security demonstrate the lack of efforts to ensure the livelihood of the population. Thus, in general, the new dimension of social security in the global environment involves the socio-economic aspects of human life, which are certainly related to the development of human capital and compared with the goals (their achievement) to preserve labor potential.
