Conclusions and results: it is noted that an important aspect is the implementation of social policy based on distributivity, that is, competent authorities being able to conduct their activity on the basis of redistributive processes aimed at overcoming socio-economic inequality among different segments of the population. Emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of introduction of a remote form of work that enables employees to continue to perform their duties. The growing level of digitalization of public services is justified. The introduction of a range of measures to support the population and business in Ukraine since 2020 has been studied.

Direct social support is a set of measures taken by the government to ensure the implementation of social rights of citizens by increasing the amount of social benefits. Indirect social support of citizens should include measures taken by the government to curb unemployment.

Summary
The introduction of quarantine plunged the world economy into crisis. In all countries, there is a decline in GDP, the labour market is under severe pressure. It is no exaggeration to say that the COVID-19 pandemic led to the greatest crisis in the field of health care, but at the same time became a litmus test that showed the existing socio-economic problems in other spheres of state and public life and created a huge challenge for the social system. Apart from the fact that most of the actions of European governments were aimed at increasing the flexibility of infrastructure and health workers, European countries are implementing other measures to maintain social status and stabilise the economy. These include easier access to unemployment benefits, tax benefits, soft loans, and the possibility of deferring social security contributions. Local and national coronavirus control strategies in many cases increase the burden on those most in need of care
