Comparative analysis of SA in the Mykolayiv and Chernigivska oblasts based on which proposals for improvements were formulated for Ukraine (UKR)

The report contains a comparative analysis of social protection model developed and operating in Mykolaiv oblast and the conventional social protection model in Ukraine. The former is characterized by high social assistance targeting level and covers virtually all persons in need. The distinguishing feature of this system is rural centers of Labor and Social Protection that serve for receiving applications, informing applicants, carrying out work to detect all the needy, inspecting living conditions of applicants, and providing social services to single unable-to-work persons. Given the high performance of this model, experience of Mykolayiv oblast may be worth expanding on the territory of Ukraine.
