Main directions of social policy in Russia and the financial regulation

Social policy is one of the most important areas, an integral part of the internal policy of the state. It is designed to provide the expanded reproduction of the population, the harmonization of social relations, political stability, civil accord and implemented through government decisions, social activities and programs. The goal of social policy is to improve the welfare of the population, ensuring a high level and quality of life. The objectives of the social policy are: the distribution of income, goods, services, material and social conditions of reproduction; limiting the magnitude of absolute poverty and inequality; provision of material livelihood to those who through no fault of their reasons, they do not possess; provision of medical and educational services; network expansion and improvement of the quality of transport services; environmental sanitation.

The main expenditures in the national budget for social policy are the costs for social security of the population and the cost of social services to the population.

In the area of social security necessary to create conditions for the fulfillment of social obligations of the state while increasing targeted social assistance.

The most important areas of the rationalization of the mechanism of budgetary financing are:

1) introduction of market mechanisms for the provision of social services at the expense of extensive budget financing organizations of the social sphere and the transition to the acquisition of the state of social services on the basis of targeted funding or the social order;

2) improvement of the network of organizations providing social services;

3) improvement of the mechanism (forms and methods) financing of these organizations.In modern industrial and urbanized society plays a huge role in the livelihood of a man playing a non-productive sphere - an important factor in the development of the productive forces. Social infrastructure, which includes public education, health care, culture, arts, social welfare, occupies a prominent place in the economic complex of the state. Development of social infrastructure depends on the level of development of material production in modern conditions for the maintenance and development of social infrastructure, financial resources are channeled from several sources: - budget, - extra-budgetary funds - funds of enterprises and population

Public consumption funds - this budget, off-budget funds and enterprises allocated for social infrastructure. Their main purpose - to social development and social protection of the population. Means of public consumption funds allow the public to provide free or concessional services education, healthcare, social security. Obviously, the development of social infrastructure improves the quality of life of the population, that is, ultimately, the basis for national economic growth and social stability in society. These issues are highly relevant to all countries. A summary measure of quality of life - mortality and morbidity, the environment, education, the dynamics of crime - in most countries in recent years has increased.

The current stage of development of society and economy inherent contradiction between the need to build a modern social system and the lack of adequate socio-economic conditions.

Firs of all social policy is a system of actions of state bodies and local self-government, providing the key task of the state - to increase the level and quality of life of citizens, including through the effective use of public finance. Social policy and economic policy should complement and reinforce each other. Secondly, social policy will be flexible to respond to changes in society and social institutions - to develop in accordance with the needs of different population groups.

The most important directions of forming a new social model will become a social dialogue, the development of mechanisms of social partnership.
One of the major problems of social development is still low standard of living of citizens, which is a measure of ratio of per capita income to the subsistence minimum.
The whole system of social protection of the population of our country and its financial security is built on the principles of division of powers and expenditure responsibilities between the federal budget, the budgets of the RF subjects and local budgets and state budget funds.
In conclussion let me briefly summarize the main points. Any citizen in a difficult life situation, has the right to social protection, which is being implemented in two areas: social services and providing social support. The powers in the field of social services by federal law assigned to the subjects of the Russian Federation.
Forms and methods of planning and financing costs for the implementation of social policies depends on a whole range of factors, including the types of expenditure commitments, sources of financing, the system of intergovernmental relations.

Social policy should be effective, respect the principle of targeting, equality, which implies maintaining the established standards, includes assistance to low-income, social integration. The most important role in the financial support measures of social policy assigned to federal and regional budgets. Thank you ladies and jentlemen. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer.
