Research Objectives. In many instances mass communication, specifically social advertising, plays a significant role in the formation of public opinion. Therefore, it is almost impossible to overstate the importance of mass media laws and regulations. In Ukraine, the Law on Advertising was reviewed and revised multiple times since it was first adopted as a part of the Constitution of Ukraine in 1996. This article is a snapshot of some key government laws and policies about advertising in Ukraine that were implemented until 2010. Definition. By the Law of Ukraine, advertisement is an information about a person or goods, disseminated in any form and by any means and is aimed at the development and maintenance of advertising consumers' awareness and their interest related to such a person or goods [1]. Social advertising should be clearly separated from other information regardless of a form or means of its dissemination so that it could be identified as advertising. Concluding Remarks. The author of the research Oleksandr Iarmolenko suggests that in order to make social advertising more appealing to public in Ukraine, first it needs to gain the status of public policy. Furthermore, it s marketing should never be oriented to promote sales or influence political debate. Last, social advertising should not reveal its sponsors or founders; neither it should contain their trademark, brand or logo.Next Steps. The researcher argues, that social advertising should always bring about positive behavior change without being a negativity or depression trigger. It needs to be interesting, creative, understandable and motivating. The part of the Law on Advertising concerning social advertising needs to be amplified so it better regulates relations in this area thus stimulating its development

Introduction. Today the problem of migrants from Luhansk, Donezk and Crimea is sharp. It requires urgent decision because these people are left unprotected and need assistance. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study the regulation as to the protection and assistance to internally displaced persons in Ukraine and analysis of socio and legal framework of IDP protection.Results. The basis of sources are regulations, including the Law of Ukraine «On the rights and freedom of citizens and legal regime in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine», the Law of Ukraine «On protection of rights and freedom of internally displaced persons». Research of practical aspects of migration policy is reflected in the works of home scientists. Central to the process of ensuring the rights of any category of persons is to define the legal status of this category. The legal status of a person – Is the human condition in the legal reality that reflects its (human) actual state of relations with society and the state. This set of subjective rights, legal obligations and legitimate interests of law. Over the years of internally displaced persons' existing on the territory of Ukraine, there is certainly a positive trend in ensuring their rights. In particular, there appeared appropriate legal regulation, work of state agencies and local governments in this area were organized, database appeared state funds for support to internally displaced persons.Originality. The article suggests some ways to improve the situation of internally displaced persons. The main are: when building a system of IDPs assistance, one should consider and study the experience of foreign countries; to harmonize the regulatory framework and agree the provisions of the Law "On the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons" with the standards of the Cabinet of Ukraine; adopt appropriate laws and regulations that will implement the rights of internally displaced persons, particularly in housing; creation of a separate Ministry or department coordination, which would have guardians, protect the rights and freedoms of citizens who remained in temporarily occupied and annexed territory.Conclusions.

The study of populism is actualized by the presence of a social order from interested political actors who use populism to implement their programs and in the struggle for power, focusing on the possibilities of change and reform. The relevance of the study is obvious given the lack of comprehensive study of populism in Ukraine, proper political evaluation of previous studies, rethinking some theses of individual researchers, and especially in connection with its actualization as one of the popular principles in action, behavior in modern political practice and our state. Today in Ukraine, the intensification and emergence of new manifestations of populism have become a sign of a general long-term failure on the path of technological modernization, in efforts to achieve rapid economic growth and in the fight against corruption. The tendency to the increasingly negative attitude of many citizens to complex and compromise procedures of democratic institutions, the desire for quick and simple solutions, intolerance of different views contain a double threat - to roll into anarchy or establish an authoritarian regime. In Ukrainian literature interest in populism appeared in the late 1990s. The initial study was the basis of his reception of analytical findings Western scholars. Today domestic historiography populism presented a number of papers in the form of articles. Amid the general characteristics of the phenomenon of populism, based primarily on the legacy of Western political scientists, highlights particular issues such as manifestations of populism in the Ukrainian national movement, modern Ukrainian politics populist methods of political struggle, philosophical discourse of the concept. Thus, populism can be considered an inevitable companion of political freedom and democracy. In some places, it is a force that promotes political participation and reform in the interests of many low-status social groups. By inclining to oppose the rights of the majority to the interests and rights of certain minorities, populism can be a threat to the rule of law and basic political and civil liberties. Wherever populist leaders gained power, it became authoritarian, accompanied by abuses and oppression (but not destruction) of the opposition. ; У статті акцентовано увагу на популізмі як наявність соціального замовлення зацікавлених політичних акторів, які використовують популізм для реалізації своїх програм та у боротьбі за владу, зосереджуючись на можливостях змін та реформ. Актуальність дослідження очевидна з огляду на відсутність всебічного вивчення популізму в Україні, належної політичної оцінки попередніх досліджень, переосмислення деяких тез окремих дослідників, і особливо у зв'язку з його актуалізацією як одного з популярних принципів дії, поведінки в сучасна політична практика та наша держава. Сьогодні в Україні активізація та поява нових проявів популізму стали ознакою загального довгострокового провалу на шляху технологічної модернізації, в зусиллях для швидкого економічного зростання та в боротьбі з корупцією. Тенденція до дедалі негативнішого ставлення багатьох громадян до складних і компромісних процедур демократичних інституцій, прагнення до швидких і простих рішень, нетерпимість до різних поглядів містять подвійну загрозу - впасти в анархію або встановити авторитарний режим. В українській літературі інтерес до популізму з'явився наприкінці 90-х. Сьогодні вітчизняний історіографічний популізм представив низку статей у формі статей. Серед загальних характеристик явища популізму, що базується насамперед на спадщині західних політологів, висвітлюються такі проблеми, як прояви популізму в українському національному русі, сучасна українська політика, популістські методи політичної боротьби, філософський дискурс концепції. Таким чином популізм можна вважати неминучим супутником політичної свободи та демократії. Подекуди це сила, яка сприяє політичній участі та реформам в інтересах багатьох соціальних груп із низьким статусом. Схиляючись протистояти правам більшості інтересам та правам певних меншин, популізм може становити загрозу верховенству права та основним політичним та громадянським свободам. Скрізь, де популістські лідери здобували владу, вона ставала авторитарною, що супроводжувалось зловживаннями та утиском (але не знищенням) опозиції.

The problem of the social foundations of democracy in the context of globalization on the methodology of Aristotle: in the unity of its quantitative and qualitative measurements is studied. The author argues the lack of understanding of democracy primarily in the quantitative characteristics of the majority – minority. Democracy, which based on the majority of the poor, does not give them freedom. Demagogues turn people into a crowd. The state with the majority of the middle class - people whose wealth is based on the "average property, but adequate" is more perfect than such a democracy. In the competition between capitalism and socialism in the XX century, the doctrine of the middle class as a social support of democracy was proclaimed and implemented in the developed countries of the West. Based on Y. Dellinger's researches (2013) and the report of the ILO about wages in the countries of the world in 2014–2015 the authors analyze the tendency of the quantitative reduction of the middle class. As a result, the authors formulate social criteria of evaluation of democracy: the proportion of the middle class as a part of the people and the extent of its relative prosperity. They suggest the themes for further research: the socialization of ownership, in particular TNC to reduce inequality of the average class with the rich; people's defense mechanisms from the concentration of wealth and power in alliance of the oligarchy with the state bureaucracy, in particular, the revolutionary tradition in the system of law sources.Key words: democracy, qualitative and quantitative measurement of democracy, the middle class, absenteeism. ; Досліджується проблема соціальної основи демократії за методологією Арістотеля: в єдності кількісного (більшість – меншість) і якісного (свобода, заможність, освіченість, благородство) її вимірів.

Introduction. In the past few decades there has been a revolution in computing and communications, and all indications are that technological progress and use of information technology will continue at a rapid pace. Informational technologies (IT) affect all of the social processes in the societyboth globally and for each separately taken country and region. Nowadays we are talking about informational society and "global village", in which the main problems and tasks are ways for the acquisition, storage, processing and dissemination of information, and also its accumulation and systematization. Now information is resource and commodity. The result of this is the creation and development not only of new industries, new jobs, new science, but also until recently extinction of traditional occupations and industries classic.Purpose of the article is to describe some issues in the field how the information technologies influence humans, their existence and social processes. What is their role for human development? Is it a new revolution? Theory keeps arguing about heading to "informational" or "network" society, and the effect from global transformations to human civilization. Results. Many people say that technologies have direct influence to the public relations. The newest trends in these systems, their role of the adolescents and how internet changes peoples` mentality has been researched for years. On one side we can see the negative consequence – people think that all the entertainments, access to information and technology improvement could lead to increase crisis in communication. Another negative results of the technology, is the total loss of privacy and private space, as well as the permanent digital connection with the working place. Concerns are each and every aspect of our life will be monitored and recorded from the Government, conglomerates and even – banks. Conclusions. As it became clear, decade after decade the technology and technological innovations are becoming more and more popular among researchers. It can be summarized that there are two main opinions, on the completely opposite ends – first one is the positive – the technology brings joy and happiness, and the other one – the negative – that technology will destroy the mankind. They are dozens of researches, thoughts, developments and expectations. We are aware of the interest of the impact of technology upon life. Researching the influential mechanism and impact of new technology upon society, culture and values, became invariable part of scientific knowledge. As an addition of the above, it can be summarized that the past time and space oriented limits today are being overcome. Working with network communication environment is an everyday practice now.

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to analyse changes in the legislation in the field of social insurance during 1991-2021, their causes and consequences, and identify some problems that need to be solved currently. Methods. The methodological basis of the article is the dialectical method of cognition of legal phenomena. The article also implies the usage of historical, comparative, formal-legal methods, methods of rational criticism and forecasting. Results. The article analyses the development of legislation in the field of social insurance (certain aspects of social insurance reform and the development of legislation in terms of determining the length of contribution period and calculating the insurance contribution necessary for obtaining social security of various types) during the years of independence of Ukraine (1991-2021). The prerequisites for legislative changes and consequences are emphasized. The critical assessment of the quality of legislation is also given, taking into account the large number of decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on declaring a number of provisions of the legislation to be unconstitutional, which indicates insufficient attention of the legislator to the non-violation of constitutional guarantees of social protection of people. Attention is drawn to innovations in legal regulation caused by the military operations in eastern Ukraine and the respiratory disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This article examines some legislative changes that attracted some significant public interest and concerned a considerable number of people. Conclusions. When declaring provisions unconstitutional, it is not always logical to continue the settlement of legal relations on a disputed issue, which leads to a vacuum in legal regulation. The presence of inconsistencies in regulatory legal acts indicates the need to analyse the current legislation and improve the quality of documents. The issue of crediting the period to the insurance record when the employee, who was called up for service in the armed forces, participated in the ATO in 2014-2016, needs to be resolved, and therefore, it is proposed to amend Articles 11 and 40 of the law of Ukraine "On Mandatory State Pension Insurance" accordingly. Keywords: social insurance, pension reform, contribution period, single social contribution, salary compensation.

Introduction. Under conditions of total impoverishment of the population, the problem of its social protection is becoming increasingly relevance. Low wages, high utility tariffs, a significant number of beneficiaries, disparities between the minimum and maximum pension are the reasons of social tension in society. An effective system of social protection must ensure a decent standard of living and prevent new social conflicts. The purpose of the article. The purpose of the study is to discuss the theoretical aspects of social protection, the study of the dynamics and interconnection of state social standards in Ukraine and the features of social protection in the Volyn region. In accordance with the set goal, the following research objectives have been identified: to reveal modern problems of social protection in Ukraine; analyze the dynamics of state social standards; to study the features of social protection in the Volyn region. Results. The analysis of the dynamics of state social standards showed their increase in the national currency, but in dollar terms only the minimum wage increased, and the subsistence level decreased, which led to a general trend of decreasing the ratio of the subsistence minimum to the minimum wage. Thus, from 2010 to 2021, the dollar against the hryvnia increased 3.54 times, the subsistence level 2.65 times, and the minimum wage 6.5 times. That is, in dollar terms, there was an increase in the minimum wage from $ 116 in 2010 to $ 212 (+ 83.7%) in 2021 and a decrease in the subsistence level from $ 103 in 2010 to $ 77 (-25.1%) in 2021. This situation is explained by the outstripping growth of the minimum wage compared to the subsistence level, due to the interest of public authorities in increasing revenues from the single social contribution (22% to the wage fund), and unwillingness to increase social costs tied to the subsistence level. It should be noted a significant decline in state social standards in dollar terms in 2015-2016, in particular the minimum wage decreased by 43% and 23% respectively, and the subsistence level decreased by 49% and 25% respectively, due to significant inflationary processes caused by changes in political situation, the annexation of Crimea and the start of hostilities in the east. Conclusions. Social protection of the population is the main function of the state and requires redistribution of income in order to ensure social harmony. The basis for overcoming poverty in the country should be to increase the share of the middle class in society, only this will have a lasting effect and bring the country out of social crisis. The size of state social standards is a matter of concern, as they are currently the lowest in Europe. This causes a significant amount of social benefits, including subsidies, increases social tensions in society and leads to a significant outflow of labor. Changes to the procedure for providing housing subsidies defined by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of 14.04.2021 № 420 significantly limited and complicated the procedure for obtaining it, which led to panic among the population, long queues to local departments of social policy and increased public dissatisfaction with the existing pricing system for housing and communal services. In order to improve the well-being of citizens, it is necessary to: form a strategy to overcome poverty in the country; redirect funds from subsidizing the population to increase the minimum wage; to change the principles of pricing for housing and communal services in the direction of their reduction, through structural changes in the gas and electricity market; review the size and procedure for forming the subsistence level; abolish special pensions, ensuring a gap between the minimum and maximum pensions of no more than five times, replace the system of benefits with targeted payments. ; У статті розглянуто сучасні проблеми соціального захисту в Україні.

Анотація: Актуальність політичного виховання студентів у вітчизняних закладах вищої освіти полягає в компенсації недоліків цього виховання в родині, у набутті цією молоддю політичної культури, яка стане і її своєрідним соціальним захистом, і умовою громадянської стабільності та, водночас, забезпечить суспільну динаміку правовими, а не революційними засобами. Метою публікації є: виявлення причин гальмування політичного виховання українських студентів, проаналізувавши провідні законодавчі документи щодо освіти; обґрунтування соціально-педагогічної сутності цього виховання, порівнюючи поняття «соціальне виховання» та «політичне виховання»; доведення ефективності соціально-педагогічного підходу до політичного виховання вітчизняних студентів у період демократизації суспільства. Методи дослідження: аналіз провідних законодавчих документів щодо освіти, термінологічний аналіз понять «соціальне виховання» та «політичне виховання», «громадянське виховання», їх систематизація, узагальнення. Демократична сутність соціальної педагогіки забезпечує трактування «політичного виховання» як цілеспрямованого процесу створення сприятливих умов політичного розвитку студентів, який є частиною їх соціального, а конкретно – громадянського вдосконалення. Метою політичного виховання студентів, з соціально-педагогічного погляду, є сприяння сходженню ними від політичної грамотності через політичну компетентність до політичної культури (ціннісне ставлення до політичного буття, політична суб'єктність, політична творчість, критичне сприйняття політичної інформації, політичне співробітництво, позитивна політична комунікація тощо). Соціально-педагогічний підхід до політичного виховання реалізується не лише через безпосередню роботу зі студентами, стимулюючи їх політичне самовиховання, але й опосередковано через соціальне середовище, як ЗВО, так і залучаючи різноманітні соціальні інститути та заклади: молодіжну субкультуру, ЗМК, заклади культури та мистецтва, правоохоронні органи, віртуальні соціальні мережі тощо. ; Abstract: The relevance of students' political education at national higher education institutions lies in compensating the flaws of this kind of education within a family, in gaining by these young people the political culture that will become their special social protection, and a condition for civil stability, while, simultaneously, providing the social dynamism with legal, not revolutional means. The aim of this paper is to discover the reasons that slow down the political education of Ukrainian students by analyzing the leading legislative documents regarding education; to justify the social-pedagogical nature of this education by comparing the concept «social education» with «political education»; to prove the effectiveness of the social-pedagogical approach to political education of nation's students during the period of society democratization, its decentralization. After analyzing the laws of Ukraine «On education», «On higher education», the Concepts of national education of student youth and national-patriotic education of children and youth, we have reached a conclusion that they reflect the lack of understanding of the meaning of political education on the state level, or a fear of one, just like it was with «national education» during soviet times. Fear of political education is tied to matching it, as we believe, with youth choosing certain political values, and because the authoritativeness of the higher education system is still not completely out of the soviet past, «choosing» may turn to «coercing» the higher education recipients to follow certain political values. This is facilitated by the definition of this term by political scientists as well. The democratic nature of social pedagogy ensures its representation as a purposeful process of creating favorable conditions for students' political development, which is part of their social, particularly civil, development. The aim of political education of students, from the social-pedagogical point of view, is to promote their growth from political literacy through political competence to political culture (value-based approach to political being, political subjectness, political creativity, critical perception of political information, political cooperation, positive political communication etc.). The social-pedagogical approach to political education is realized not only through immediate work with higher education recipients, stimulating their political self-education, but also through mediums of social environment, like HEI, as well as through including various social institutions and establishments: the youth's subculture, means of mass communication, culture and art establishments, law enforcement authorities, virtual social networks etc.

The article is devoted to the study of the essence of the concept of "silver economy" as a new approach to solving the problem of population aging, which is faced by both the world and Ukraine. The methodology of the study were the methods of factor analysis and synthesis, dialectical, logical-semantic, graphic, methods of comparison and generalization. Traditionally, an aging population is perceived as a financial burden on the economy and a threat to the well-being of future generations. In difficult demographic conditions, the developed countries of the world have begun to implement special policies aimed at supporting the aging population. The UN principles on the elderly are considered, the main thesis of which is to create conditions for maximum self-realization in society, to prevent age discrimination, which together will ensure a decent life for elderly Ukrainians. It is proved that the aging of the population, in addition to the negative consequences, can become a new resource for economic growth of the country by expanding the labor market, increasing consumption and increasing production. Important economic, socio-cultural and political-legal factors of formation and development of the "silver economy" are considered. It is noted that such a process should take place within the framework of state regulation. Accordingly, the main directions of state policy that will promote the development of the "silver economy" in the country are outlined. The influence of the "silver economy" on the efficiency of the development of the pension system in the country has been established. It is determined that the pension reform is a method of protecting the sustainability of the pension system by increasing the employment rate of the elderly. It has been proven that in the context of pension reform, "silver age" people have a hidden potential to solve the financial problems of the pension system and can be a source of balancing such a system. It is concluded that the positive impact of the "silver economy" is ...
