Social insurance in the system of implementation of priorities of sustainable development
Abstract
The article describes the content and relationship between the concepts of «social protection», «social insurance» and «sustainable development». It is determined that improving the social well-being of citizens, ensuring social equality and increasing social security are the main goals of implementing the concept of sustainable development in the social sphere. It is established that the basic component of the social policy of state is the social protection of the population, which acts as a human right on the one hand, and as a socio-economic necessity on the other. The role of social insurance as an organizational and legal form of social security of the population, which creates conditions for the reproduction of the workforce and the protection of citizens in the event of certain insurance cases, is substantiated. A comparative analysis of the security function of social insurance and the function of social development was carried out in terms of its types: social insurance for temporary disability; social insurance in connection with accidents at work and occupational diseases; social insurance in case of unemployment; pension insurance. All types of social insurance have an impact on the quality of life of citizens and public welfare. The general directions and principles of modernization of the social insurance system in Ukraine, taking into account the priorities of sustainable development, are determined. The main problems on the way to improving the effectiveness of the social insurance system of the population, such as the crisis of the pension system and the underdevelopment of medical insurance, are considered. It is substantiated that the solution of the mentioned problems lies in the plane of the economic and social policy of Ukraine and requires a comprehensive approach.
