Constitutional Guarantees of Social Security and Their Implementation

Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 supplemented the list of guarantees of citizens’ rights in the area of social security and formed the basis for improving sectoral legislation. The expansion of the list of constitutional guarantees affected the institutions of pensions and benefits regarding their indexation, as well as the system for the adequate upbringing of children and support for families with children, including the targeted provision of social assistance. The norms of social security law implement constitutional guarantees of general legal and sectoral relevance, forming a comprehensive system of social support for various categories of individuals based on their labor contribution or as members of society who find themselves in difficult situations and require social assistance from the state. Changes to social security legislation, based on the implementation of the amended provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, are quite significant, are of a gradual nature, and have currently affected many types of social security. However, certain legal regulations require further improvement.
