FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS OF POPULATION INCOME DISTRIBUTION AND STATE REGULATION INSTRUMENTS

Abstract

In the modern world, attempts are continuously being made to comprehensively assess and measure indicators related to the progress of the standard of living and well-being both globally and for individual groups of the population. Assessing and measuring the social condition is a complex process, because the concepts of "living standard of the population" and "quality of life" are multi-vector and difficult to calculate and evaluate. The assessment and measurement of the social progress of each state, individual social groups and territories (states, regions, etc.) with sufficient accuracy is an important factor in determining the indicators of population inequality. It should be the basis for implementing effective social policy through the principles and approaches of the state's social policy, individual groups of the population (especially socially vulnerable), effective management of the population's incomes and expenses. The basis for the formation of such a policy is the identification of social problems and the identification of ways to solve them. Socially oriented programs can be implemented both in the short term and in the long term. The formation of problems of population income distribution and state regulation and the search for tools to achieve it should become one of the key components of the policy implemented by the state. Taking into account the difficulties of social policy implementation and the use of appropriate tools during the development of that policy, the identification and characterization of the general trends in the formation and distribution of incomes of the population becomes a topical issue. As a first step, it is necessary to study the experience of countries with advanced free market relations and analyze the possibilities of their localization in Armenia for the selection and expansion of social policy tools. It is also necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the tools used to fight against poverty and the implemented policies, comparing the relevant indicators of Armenia and neighboring countries.
