Bazilinska O. (Bazilinska, 2005) refers to social policy as to a set of socio-economic activities of the state and local authorities, aimed at protecting the population against unemployment, rising prices, devaluation of labor savings and so on.

(1947), Furniss N. and Tilton T. (1979), George V. and Wilding P. (1984), Mishra P. (1984), Titmuss R., Williams F. (1989), Ksiezopolski M., Gordin V., Volgin N. and others.
