Abstract:

In the current conditions of war, social policy and security are becoming key priorities for Ukraine, where the armed conflict is exacerbating social inequality, impoverishment, and infrastructure destruction. The relevance of the study is stipulated by the need to adapt social mechanisms to military realities, ensure the protection of vulnerable groups and assess the impact of the crisis on the welfare of the population through the Human Development Index (HDI). The purpose of the article is to analyze the conceptual foundations of quality social policy and the formation of social security in the context of war in Ukraine, and to develop recommendations for institutionalizing social stability in society. The study is based on a quantitative analysis of the HDI using linear regression, which takes into account the indices of longevity (LEI), education (EI) and income (II), with a dummy variable for the wartime period. The article uses the least squares (OLS) method, comparative analysis of social planning, and a structural-functional approach to assessing the effectiveness of social security at the state level. A model with a correction variable reflecting the negative impact of the war is developed and a number of institutional measures aimed at strengthening social protection and adapting policy in the context of military operations are proposed. Future research could focus on analyzing the long-term effects of war on social security, evaluating the effectiveness of international assistance, and developing a post-war strategy for social recovery.
