The article proves the need to ensure social security for the population, which is an important factor in the country's social stability and its national security, given the strengthening of socio-economic risks, the growth of social tension in society and the unsatisfactory social and economic development of the country. The author describes the main socio-economic risks faced by the country's population in modern conditions which lead to a high dependence of the welfare of a significant part of the population on social security and social protection.
The aim of the article is to study current trends in the socio-economic state of the country and determine its features in the context of socio-economic and political instability.
The author analyzes the current legislation of the country and the existing approaches to the definition of the concept of “social security” and concludes that the economic component is one of the important components of social security.
It has been proven that social security is largely driven by economic and social factors. According to this, the main demographic, economic and social indicators of the socio-economic development of the country are characterized. It was concluded that the conditions of social security for the country's population do not match, which is manifested in a worsening demographic situation in the country, significant stratification of society, increased poverty, inadequate social guarantees to ensure a decent standard of living, etc. It is noted that the level of well-being of the population remains extremely low, based on an analysis of its main indicators.
Based on the identified problems and the results of the study, the author outlines the directions for ensuring the social security of the country's population to increase the standard of living of the population, stimulate its economic activity and employment, which will improve the country's socio-economic situation and reduce the negative consequences of existing socio-economic risks.
