MODELS OF SOCIAL POLICY IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES AS AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW IN UKRAINE

Social protection is an important component of modern social policy aimed at ensuring the welfare of the population and social stability. European countries, under the influence of various social factors, have their own specific approaches to identifying social problems and social policy priorities. That has led to the formation of unique models of social policy that differ significantly in terms of the scope, scale, and level of government intervention. As Ukraine is currently undergoing significant reforms in its social protection system, it can use these models to improve its social policy.
