Social services in the market economy

Today, innovative models of development and "intelligent" technologies are the most successful and sustainable ones. Sustainable development of such countries, their competitiveness on world markets is based on innovative ideas and developments, not on the use of natural resources and natural resources. From 2017 the country is implementing new, meaningful and efficient reforms that meet modern requirements in the economy. In 2017 a new stage of reforms has begun. Reforms in the economy draw on the attention of world economists and experts, with the ongoing in-depth analysis and innovative approach to the creation of new economic systems[1].

Thus, the implementation of social services is strongly dependent on state social-economic policy. Since social systems face tough financing problems and a shortage of human resources, growing demands, especially in a market economy, require a thorough analysis. On the one side, the development of social services requires a high social responsibility of the state, and on the other - the existence of certain socio-economic conditions in society. The development of social services plays an important role in raising the living standard of the population and increasing its internal needs. Therefore, the Anti-crisis program aimed at mitigating the consequences of the global financial crisis has focused on the development of social infrastructure[2].

"In this regard, the First President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov said:" Our most important task in the nearest future is to continue the work that we have begun with, to further develop the social sphere, to increase wages, to develop the service sector, infrastructure facilities, transport and communications projects"[3].

In Uzbekistan, the state uses fiscal policy and budgetary funds to finance social services. That is, in the order established by Article 22, 23 of Section V of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the Budget System" of December 14, 2000, № 158-II. In this context, the production of social services is the transfer of government-financed funds into a certain type, volume and specific content, the product of the level. So, the main directions of public policy in the sphere of social services are as follows:

Timely identification, registration and provision of social services to those in need of social services;

• •    Creating the necessary conditions for the preservation of social services recipients' relationships with the family and society, in the usual peaceful environment;

• •    To ensure transparency and publicity of public authorities' activities in providing social services;

• •    Development of social partnership in the sphere of provision of social services. From the above, the system of social service providers in our country includes:

• •    public administration bodies;

• •    local executive authorities;

• •    civil self-governance bodies;

• •    nongovernmental nonprofit organizations;

• •    Entrepreneurial entities carrying out the provision of social services;

Social service providers work on the following basic principles:

• •    human rights observance, equal access to social services;

• •    access to social services;

• •    a clear focus and individual approach to the provision of social services;

• •    voluntary access to social services;

• •    confidentiality of information about recipients of social services.

The requirements of the standard apply to all institutions regardless of the form of ownership, which provide citizens with social services in the form of assistance and comprehensive support in cases of difficult life situations. In Uzbekistan, social services, depending on their purpose, are divided into the following main types:

• -    social and domestic, aimed at supporting the life of citizens in everyday life;

• -    socio-medical, aimed at maintaining and improving the health of citizens;

• -    socio-psychological, providing for the correction of the psychological state of citizens for their adaptation in the environment (society);

• -    social and pedagogical, aimed at preventing deviations in behavior and anomalies in the development of clients of social services, forming positive interests in them, including in the sphere of leisure, organizing their leisure, assisting in the family upbringing of children;

• -    socio-economic, aimed at maintaining and improving the standard of living;

• -    social and legal, aimed at maintaining or changing the legal status, providing legal assistance, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens. The standards have revealed the essential content of each type of services, and also the requirements for the order and conditions for the provision of social services have been approved.

At the same time, it should be noted that over the past period of time, it has not been possible to create a market for social services. The model of public procurement of social services from private and non-governmental organizations has not been formed, and the number of the latter is low. In addition, the quality of the services provided, the expansion of their list, requires a serious improvement. So, the Strategy for the five main priorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan for the period from 2017 to 2021 is focused on the development of the social sector. A special emphasis in the implementation of this strategy is that the principle of "human interests is superior to everything" and the noble idea that "public institutions should serve the people, not the public,"[10] but first of all, is an indication of the practical implementation of the principle of dialogue and the real protection of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens.
