IMPACT OF LEGISLATIVE REFORMS IN THE FIELD OF STATE INSURANCE ON SOCIAL SECURITY OF INDUSTRIAL INJURIES

The relevance of this work is due to the high level of industrial injuries and low indicators of the standard of living of the population in Ukraine compared to the industrialized countries of the European Union, which makes the problem of survival of victims of accidents and occupational diseases topical. The work collects statistical data from open sources of information, on the basis of which calculations of some indicators regarding the social protection of victims of accidents and occupational diseases at work were performed. The dynamics of changes in the number of accidents and occupational diseases in Ukraine in the period from 2007 to 2023 were analyzed. The relationship between these indicators and the number of victims to whom monthly insurance benefits were paid was studied. Data from the Accident Insurance Fund, the Social Insurance Fund, and the Pension Fund regarding monthly insurance premiums and payments for the period from 2007 to 2023 are given. A comparative study of the maximum permissible amounts of monthly insurance payments and one-time benefits in different periods of time, which are associated with changes in state legislation, was conducted. The trends of changes in the amounts of insurance contributions and insurance payments to victims at work are analyzed, taking into account legislative reforms in the field of mandatory state social insurance in Ukraine. To assess the level of payments to the victims, taking into account the real economic situation in the country, a comparison of the sums of the studied monetary indicators was made in hryvnia and in dollars. On the basis of the analysis of the obtained results, the socio-economic consequences of reforms regarding the social protection of victims at work were determined and measures were proposed to reduce the level of injuries at enterprises in the conditions of military operations, population migration, etc.
