THE CONCEPT OF UNCONDITIONAL BASIC INCOME AS A COMPONENT OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD OF UKRAINE

Introduction. The article examines the theoretical and methodological aspects of the introduction of anunconditional basic income. Purpose. The advantages and disadvantages of the concept of unconditional basic income (UBI) as an integral part of the social policy of equalization and improvement of the quality of life of the post-war recovery period of Ukraine are analyzed. Methods. The analysis of modern systems of social support of the population is based on the principle of an individual approach to assessing the needs of citizens and, accordingly, differentiating the amount of payments in accordance with this principle. The post-war period justifies the expediency and alternative concept without conditional basic income as a universal tool of social security and protection of the majority of the population, which will allow to avoid discrimination in the provision of assistance based on age, gender, social and other factors. The concept of unconditional basic income has a universal nature of assistance, which is of primary importance in the war and post-war periods of stabilization and restoration of the country and social trends in society. Results. It is noted that interest in the concept of an unconditional basic income is definitely growing, against the background of the current socio-economic uncertainty caused by hostilities, when social problems are particularly clear, and society is increasingly actively requesting changes. At the same time, there is still no full- fledged experience of the transition to basic income. All pilot programs (more than 40 in total) either did not meet the five basic income criteria (periodicity, individuality, universality, unconditionality and monetary nature of payments) or were too small to provide at least a minimum standard of living for the recipients. Originality. The world experience, the results of experiments on the implementation of individual elements of the BBD concept in the socio-economic development of the countries of the European Union are summarized. Conclusion. Conclusions and suggestions are made regarding the possibilities and expediency of the introduction of BBD in Ukraine in the post-war period in the conditions of emigration of the population abroad and internal migration.
