Improvement of methodical approaches to estimating the efficiency of social assistance in the context of the poverty overcoming policy and unequal possibilities of the population Ukraine
Introduction. Effective social assistance of the government provides the basic needs of the national economy.Methods. The presented research is devoted to the analysis of income distribution among categories of families, presented depending on the availability and quantity of children in order to improve the methodological approaches to estimating the level of per capita income from the number of children being raised in a family. The concept of national income, its distribution and redistribution was studied. The level of average incomes of the population of the country, depending on the number of children who are on the maintenance of the family was analyzed.Results. The research revealed a large number of options for evaluating the effectiveness of government aid, each of which solves specific problems at a certain stage of development of society. At the same time, at the state level, the regulatory impact associated with social assistance in the context of overcoming poverty and the unequal opportunities of the country's population is assessed. However, the assessment is carried out only according to the criteria that are laid down in the program documents and can not comprehensively reflect the current trends and the state of consumers of social services in the dynamics of their socio-economic development. In this connection, a full-fledge dunders tanding of the socio-economic processes and the performance of the authorities is not happening.Discussion. The structural averages (mode, median) per capita income by categories of population and decile coefficient of income differentiation among families with children by selected groups that were identified that contributes to an adequate assessment of social benefits and compensations. And the identification of factors that negatively affect the state of reintegration of citizens to an active economic life (with secondary income distribution) makes it necessary to find new principles of social payments to improve the accuracy of their targeting, which will be the basis for improving the regulatory framework and government program documents.
