Abstract
The article, which consists of two parts, proposes approaches and principles for the analysis of the Russian state social security policy for working-age disabled people, based on the experience of welfare states, where the improvement of the effectiveness of assistance programs is consistent with the poverty and inequality reduction policies. The first part of the article examines trends in the reduction of social security availability. Based on data from the Russian Federation, Germany, the USA, the EU and the OECD for the period from 1995 to 2021, international comparisons were made in the change in the number of working-age persons with disabilities. Furthermore, the article explored the nature of the reduction in access to assistance programs as well as the preparedness for anti-crisis regulation: the expansion of guarantees during periods of unfavorable economic climate and growing demand for benefits. Based on data from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and Rosstat for the period from 2014 to 2020, trends in social security for working-age persons with disabilities were analysed: changes in the number by sex, age categories, regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the risks of not being enrolled in the assistance program.
