SOME FORMS OF REALIZATION BY THE STATE OF A SOCIAL FUNCTION

Abstract

The study is aimed at identifying the range of problems caused by the implementation of the state social function, as well as detecting ways to solve them. In modern society, the state's implementation of a social function is gaining importance in connection with increasing social tension and the strengthening of the role of the state in solving social problems against this background. Most of them are caused by economic difficulties, since the state can realize social rights and guarantees mainly due to material support, and, for the most part, the society is not ready for the functions that are assigned to it by the modern social state: active position, participation in charity, assistance in the implementation of social functions by authorities. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the priority of the interests of society and the state, identify the main problems that arise in the implementation of the idea of a social state and determine ways to solve them. In this article, the authors consider forms of implementing the social function of the state at the state and non-state levels. Particular attention is paid to the municipal level of organization of the social function as the closest to the population, as well as the activities of trade union organizations. A significant contribution to the formation and development of the idea of the state's implementation of a social function, in particular, was made by the scientist G. Becker. Other authors mentioned in the article also point to the most common problems in the process of implementing the social function of the state at all levels.
