STATE SOCIAL FUNCTION PROVIDING FINANCIAL POLICY
IN UKRAINE
Introduction. Social problems stand extraordinarily sharply in Ukraine. Next to
objective factors, they are the consequence of both passive social politics and
inconsistent, unsystematic, ineffective public financial policy and, accordingly,
imperfect model of financing of implementation of social function the state. In the
country the situation was "created, when economic development must be coordinated
with the state actions sent to positive socialization of society through the mechanisms
of population social defense. From this point of view a substantial obstacle for
becoming of effective mechanism of economic development the exception of man
became from the circle of questions of economic development, privation of economy
development processes "human measuring… The carried out economic politics is sent
mainly to the financial stabilizing, budgetary crisis reduction" [28]. Thus "tax and
budgetary politics of the state does not provide state social function implementation.
Vice versa, they generate new constitutional conflicts in connection with the negative
processes of ignoring of will of people in relation to employment of population,
remuneration of labor and inequality of development of social services" [13]. A
consequence is worsening of level of employment of population, reduction of volumes
of the budgetary financing of education and health protection, worsening of the state
of social infrastructure. And it takes place on a background of population general
reduction: after 2017 the population of Ukraine grew short on 198 100 persons
comparatively with 2016. On the beginning of 2018 the population of the country
presented 42 million 386,4 thousand persons. It is 10 million persons less
comparatively with 1991. Amount of population continues to grow short because of
active migration and substantial exceeding of amount of the dead above the amount of
born (in 2017 on the 100 dead persons it was 63 live-born people) [11].
Therefore, question of increase of public financial policy effectiveness role for
the proper implementation by the state of the public setting, in particular, social
function adequate to the aims and tasks of the socially oriented market economy, is
extraordinarily actual.
Influence of public financial policy on social processes and separate aspects of
financial mechanisms of state social function, removal of separate defects in motion of
social processes in Ukraine and world was investigated by F. Afonso and K. Sous [34],
