The state mechanism of legal regulation of social construction in the countries of the European Union and the possibility of its use in the system of state regulation of Ukraine

Abstract

Housing reform is considered as one of the most important problems for the European Union and Ukraine. Providing the public with housing is an important factor in determining the level of development of society and the economy of the country as a whole. However, the possibility of reforming the housing complex is extremely difficult, since Ukraine is in a very complicated situation today (the war in the East, low rates of economic development, the growth of social conflicts and tensions). Adaptation of advanced foreign experience, consistent and coherent functioning of all authorities, businesses and public organizations are identified as a significant factor in achieving a faster and more qualitative effect of realization of the right to social housing in Ukraine. It is determined that the introduction of European experience in Ukraine is a necessary condition for the effective realization of the right to social housing. It has been concluded that housing construction satisfies one of the most important human needs - ensuring normal living conditions, which is a priority area of state regulation, namely, raising the level of social security of the population of Ukraine. In the process of transition to market relations, there was a decrease in housing construction and the aging of the existing housing stock, which was the result of the collapse of the existing system of state planning in the housing sector and the further removal of the state from the management of the process of creating an effective market mechanism for providing housing for the population. The course that Ukraine has chosen to integrate into the European community should identify new strategic priorities for socio-economic development of the country, reform the structure of the state economy, create conditions and opportunities for comprehensive human development. It is specified that the availability of housing and its qualitative characteristics are undoubtedly the main indicator characterizing the standard of living of the population and enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine as a necessary condition for ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens. Therefore, the degree of the solving of «housing issue» in our state from a quantitative and qualitative point of view should be considered as a determining criterion for the approximation and following of European standards of living.
