Since 2014, among many reforms, decentralization has been instrumental in creating transparent, open and effective local governance that will ensure the quality and accessibility of services in all spheres of community life, including the social sphere (quality social services) in Ukraine As for the development of the social services system in the context of the transition period of decentralization, there are priorities in this way, regarding the complexity of the provision of social services, their accessibility, targeting and effectiveness, as well as increasing attention to each person (client). Such priorities are possible provided there is an integrated approach to community-based social services.
The article explores the issues of social sphere in Ukraine. The focus is on the substance and importance of the concept of decentralization for the social sphere. The legal analys is of the application of decentralization instruments in the social sphere in the neigh boring country – the Republic of Poland – is carried out. The main directions of the implementation of the social policy of the Republic of Poland are described in order to meet their requirements of decentralization. The necessity to introduce decentralization tools for the Republic of Poland for the effective functioning of the social sphere is confirmed. The main problems of centralized management of social sphere in Ukraine are analyzed. Conclusions are made as to the expediency of using decentralization tools in the contemporary social sphere of Ukraine.
