Individualization of Protection from Social Risks as a Manifestation of Anthropocentrism in the Social Welfare Sphere

The article examines the individualization of protection against social risks in the social security system through the prism of human-centrism in law. Human-centrism, based on constitutional provisions about a person, his rights and freedoms as the highest value, sets appropriate value-target guidelines for the entire legal system. The instrumental component of human-centrism can be represented through individual legal regulation, which is characterized by specifics of branch of law. Social security law regulates social relations that mediate public legal models of protecting citizens from social risk based on the constitutional principle of social solidarity. Such protection always has a personalized result in the form of the emergence of social obligations as relative legal relations of the state represented by its bodies or institutions with individually defined participants (citizens - recipients of social provision). Individualization of protection against social risk manifests itself at the stage of formation of the right to certain types of social security, for example, through individual (personalized) accounting in the compulsory pension insurance system. It is also used to determine, within normatively established limits, the amount of social security guaranteed to a specific person based on his specific needs (individual program for rehabilitation or habilitation of a disabled person, individual program for the provision of social services). In addition, the prevention of social risk and compensation for its consequences can be based on civil contracts or social partnership agreements, ensuring increased individualization of protection against social risks through additional social provision.
