Abstract

The article is devoted to the issues of further social integration of internally displaced persons (IDPs) on the basis of institutional reduction of social exclusion of this category of the population, which requires improvement of legal regulation of their social protection by strengthening cooperation between such institutions as the State Employment Service of Ukraine. Overcoming the extractive nature of the national labor market requires social and labor inclusion, which involves the process of participation of employable citizens, including IDPs, in socially useful activities by forming a system of incentives for reintegration into the labor market and creating conditions for the realization of labor potential. In connection with these issues, there was a study of the legal framework for social protection of IDPs in Ukraine which proposes a model for calculating social assistance to IDP workers in social and labor inclusion.

To achieve this goal, the following general and special methods are used: the method of theoretical generalization, systematic, dialectical method of scientific comprehension in the process of determining the approach to the provision of social assistance to IDPs; historical and logical analysis - in the study of social protection; comparative analysis, synthesis and generalization - in research on the practice of social support for the population to enter the labor market; methodological and functional analysis - to determine the directions of institutionalization of social protection of IDPs. Weaknesses in the procedure for providing financial assistance to able-bodied IDPs have been identified, including: artificial determination of the amount of financial assistance; the lack of correlation between the amount of financial assistance and social standards; the discrepancy between the amount of Unified Social Contribution paid by IDP staff, salaries and the amount of cash benefits. According to the author, the improvement of social assistance to IDP workers is possible by identifying two components: non-compensatory, which is tied to the subsistence level, and compensatory, which is tied to the amount of wages. This approach stimulates official employment and forms the preconditions for the development of social insurance in Ukraine.
