Abstract
The Purpose of the article: research and analysis of social policy in Ukraine during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on public finances. Methodology: dialectical method of cognition of social phenomena, logical-semantic and formal-logical methods, special-legal method. Conclusions and results: it is noted that an important aspect is the implementation of social policy based on distributivity, that is, competent authorities being able to conduct their activity on the basis of redistributive processes aimed at overcoming socio-economic inequality among different segments of the population. Emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of introduction of a remote form of work that enables employees to continue to perform their duties. The growing level of digitalization of public services is justified. The introduction of a range of measures to support the population and business in Ukraine since 2020 has been studied. It is found that social support of citizens in this period can be considered in two aspects, as direct and indirect. Direct social support is a set of measures taken by the government to ensure the implementation of social rights of citizens by increasing the amount of social benefits. Indirect social support of citizens should include measures taken by the government to curb unemployment.
