Abstract

 

The purpose of this study is to assess the reform of the social protection system. To conduct the study and achieve this goal, the necessary research methods were used: abstraction, graphical method, deduction, systematization and generalization. The SDG goals that contribute to the achievement of universal social protection have been identified, namely: goal 1.3; goal 5.4; and goal 10.4. In addition, social protection has been identified as fundamental to the achievement of several SDGs, in particular: Goal 1.5; Goal 3.8 and Goal 8.2. The study found that, according to global panels, the level of efficiency of social protection in Ukraine is 73%. In the European region, this figure is 83.9%, which is 10.90% higher than in Ukraine. The study concluded that the social protection system in Ukraine is currently in a difficult state and requires the development of a comprehensive social protection strategy to meet the long-term needs of the most vulnerable categories of citizens and achieve the SDGs
