REGIONAL SOCIAL POLICY AS IMPORTANT FACTOR OF THE STATE SOVEREIGNTY OF UKRAINE

Abstract

In Ukraine, in the conditions of a permanent financial and economic crisis, it is very important to determine the priorities of socio-economic development to ensure the complexity of the national economy and increase its competitiveness. The most ambitious task of the socially oriented economy of the state in the market economy, which is still being formed in Ukraine, is the activity of social protection of all strata of society and the development of an effective social policy strategy. The social policy of the state by its nature should be uniform, however, due to the peculiarities of the social and geographic space of Ukraine, it is heterogeneous. And this is not a deviation from the norm, but the result of contradictory conditions that form the unevenness of the state's social space.
