Problems of Improvement of The Russian Legislation on Social Security for Families With Children

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of the Russian legislation on social security for families with children. The authors analyze the institute of social security for families with children, the current Russian legislation in the field and reasons that cause the need to improve Russian legislation in the field of social protection of the family, motherhood and childhood. The conducted research allows the authors to conclude that at the present time in Russia there is no enough-developed regulatory framework of social security for families with children. One of the most important problems in the field of childhood in modern Russia is the failure to apply international standards on children's rights. The guarantees of social protection of children are limited due to the transfer of responsibility for child care from the federal to the regional level. The authors also note unequal volume and quality of services available to children and their families in different regions of Russia. Considering the issues of improving the legislation of the Russian Federation on social security for families with children the authors come to a conclusion about the need to establish the minimum amount of monthly child allowance at the federal level.
