Correlation
of economic and social spheres of security
The positive
shifts in the economic sphere had also a beneficial effect on the social
sphere. The real income of the population raised along with real wages
and the subsistence minimum. The market saturation has resulted
in a greater
consumer satisfaction and consumer choice. The economy has changed its category from the economy of scarcity to
the economy rich in commodities. The structure of the population has also changed for the better. The
stratum of entrepreneurs and owners is an indication of emergence of the middle
class in the society. Standards as for consumption,
living level and life quality achieved in the
developed countries are also being introduced gradually in Ukraine. Consumption
of the household equipment grows day by day, living accommodations become more
convenient. The legal system oothat regulates the social sphere becomes more
oriented to the international norms and standards used in the sphere
of socio-economic human rights, labour law, and social protection.
All these shifts demonstrate real signs of the shaping social
orientation of the economy. However, it is
necessary to pursue a more effective policy in order to
strengthen and to intensify them because of a difficult general social
situation and insufficient social development.
To develop and to implement the social policy, it is necessary
to take into account the situation and trends in the social development.
Contents of strategic priorities of the social development should follow from
the Constitution of Ukraine that defines the Ukraine as a social state. This
type of the state is the most perfect in the history of the human civilization
development; it is oriented to provision of a high living standard for all
people in the country and provision of all-round security.
These important components of the government administration in
Ukraine are not satisfactory enough and they are hardly achieved quickly. It
creates the threats to the social security, which arise not only because of
imperfect social management. They are caused also by the inefficient policy in
other spheres, which have direct or indirect impact on the social sphere.
In the domestic practice of socio-economic management, the
democratic basis is used more and more in order to define the situation,
tendencies and prospects for development of the country combining statistical
and sociological information. It is possible due to results of the expert
survey of leading specialists on problems of economic security was conducted
by the National Institute of Strategic Researches under the President of
Ukraine and the Institute of Industrial Economics under the National Academy
of Sciences of Ukraine.
The circle of priority national interests includes formation of
a self-sufficient social- oriented market economy. However, to solve the social
problems the economic expenditures are needed and the socio-economic effect is
achieved not so quickly as desired.
The impact and mutual relation of social and economic security
are rather great an elimination of danger in one sphere would lead to solution
of problems in other.
The features of display of socio-economic security on the modern
stage of development are characterized by main tenance of basis of social problems.
They are: poverty, the pension system, the problem of differentiation of
population profits, the problem of remuneration of intellectual labour, the
problem of employment, the demographic one.
According to their importance the
priority directions include those, which stipulate increase in income of the population. So, the
first place takes prevention to falling the living standard of people and its
gradual increase; strengthening of state and regional policy as
for increase of effective demand; provision of reforms in labour payment, transformation of wages into primary source of workers’
income; active resistance to cheapness of the manpower. /
Then, the second place is given to the problem concerning
guarantee of employment, assistance in prevention to mass unemployment. The
circle of priority problems includes also prevention to outflow of highly
skilled specialists from social and useful activities, development of the
system for protection of working people.
It is known that any economy cannot
function effectively in the conditions of social tension. Social tension is
caused by dissatisfaction with living standards, the state of ecology, power
efficiency, the influence of criminal organizations and others. First of all,
it is necessary to relieve social tension, which is impossible without
addressing economic issues that are relevant for the solution of social
problems.
