Welfare without borders: unpacking the bases of transnational social protection for international migrants

Conceptual framework for the development of financial support for social protection in Ukraine

“…The conducted research [16] suggests that the established structure of financing of social protection in Ukraine is one of the main reasons for a significant number of financial problems. According to the distribution principle, basic funds are accumulated and distributed among various forms of social protection, its kinds and programs, mostly by means of the system of public financing (public budget, local budgets and public funds of compulsory social insurance).…”

“…The empirical correlation ratio η = 0.3235 indicates that there is a link between the share of public expenditure on social protection in the country's GDP and real economic growth, but it is moderate. The determination coefficient 0.1046 shows that the variation is 10.46% due to the differences between the signs, and 89.54% due to other factors [16].…”

“…Particular attention should be paid to the system of compulsory retirement insurance. According to the conducted studies [16], the complex demographic and economic crisis in Ukraine generates a strong deficit of financial resources in the Pension Fund of Ukraine, which is covered at the expense of the public budget. During the 2013-2017 period alone, financial resources aimed at financing pension programs increased from UAH 83.2 billion in 2013 to UAH 133.5 billion in 2017.…”

“…Conceptual approaches and a comprehensive analysis of the problems of social security, conditions and principles of its financing, mechanisms of formation of the major sources of financial resources, and principles of some of its forms are presented in great depth in the works by local and foreign scientists, among whom are S. Anna McCord and Rachel (2015) [1], V. V. Antropov (2006) [2], K. Barglowski et al (2015) [3], A. Barrientos (2010) [4], B. Başak and K. [5], M. Cichon et al (2004) [6], K. Devesh and P. Nangia (2015) [7], G. Esping-Andersen (1990) [8], L. Morgon Banks et al (2016) [9], M. Pinilla-Roncancio (2015) [11], M. Waqas and M. Sarwar Awan (2017) [12], D. Piachaud (2011) [13], D. Pieters (2002) [14], M. M. Ruzhenskyi (2006) [15], P. Ruxandra (2017) [16], S. M. Brooks (2015) [17], S. Kidd (2017) [18], V. B. Tropin (2008) [19]. Basic conditions and principles of the organisation of the social protection system, the peculiarities of the formation and use of financial resources by governmental and private social insurance institutions, the forms and principles for the implementation of social assistance to various segments of the population, the peculiarities of the functio ning of the social protection system under the influence of the whole range of social and economic factors and the characteristics of the relevant country have been researched by thre scientists mentioned above.…”

“…This makes it possible to protect all segments of the population from a large number of various social risks. Conducted researches [16] have shown a constant increase in the number and diversity of social benefits, allowances and reduced payments. As a result of expansion in the number of potential recipients, more and more financial resources are required year by year.…”
