The relevance of this study lies in the fact that social policy in different countries is aimed primarily at improving the quality of life, solving socio-economic problems, ensuring a decent standard of living for all categories of the population - from young children to the elderly. In addition, a well-formed social policy makes it possible to ensure a high level of employment, regulation of labor relations, and prevention of social conflict.
