Abstract

The article is devoted to diagnosis of the salary security according to the author's method of comprehensive rating assessment in a regional section. The strategic directions of protection of the population interests in sphere of labor payment, designed to ensure a decent standard of living of citizens in the perspective of the post-war recovery of Ukraine are also defined. Taking into account the results of the diagnosis of the state of salary security, the presence of negative trends was determined, in particular, a significant gap between the nominal and real wages; the decrease in the real wage index; the significant sectoral disparities in wages; the presence of regional differences in the levels of salary security, as evidenced by the results of the rating assessment conducted according to key indicators. Thus, the state and regional policy priorities should include: the raising the minimum social standards; the stabilization of inflationary processes due to effective monetary policy of the state; the regulation of the processes of population income differentiation taking into account the principle of social justice; the improvement of the wage indexation mechanism; the responsibility for late payment of salary; the reduction of the tax burden on the wage fund; the strengthening control over the payment of taxes and social contributions by state bodies with the aim of decriminalization of wages; the development of small and medium-sized businesses and creation of new jobs with decent wages; the improvement of the investment climate for the development of entrepreneurship. The prospects for further research in this direction are the determination of the possibilities of implementation of priorities for increasing the level of salary security and welfare of the population at the stage of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
