Comparative analysis of social codes of constituent entities of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The current system of social support for the population is regulated by a large number of federal and regional regulatory legal acts adopted over the past 25 years. This creates both significant problems for beneficiaries (does not allow to quickly focus on what measures of social support and under what conditions they are entitled), as well as certain difficulties for the authorities themselves.

During the existence and development of the legal field in the field of social support, not only the terminology has changed, but also the principles and approaches to social protection. There is an objective need to systematize the existing legislation. The subjects of the Russian Federation took the path of codification: Social codes of the Astrakhan, Belgorod, Volgograd, Leningrad, Omsk, Yaroslavl regions and the city of St. Petersburg have already been adopted.
