Abstract
The article analyzes the problems of social policy in Western countries. The modern state there seeks to abandon a significant part of its direct welfare functions. As a result, there is an expansion of market relations in social sphere, worsening of employment conditions, the rise of inequality and poverty, and a permanent distributional conflict. This trend may generate the crisis of confidence, actualizing the issues associated with political decisions concerning social development, which are able to counteract the aggravation of socio-political conflict, to bind the society and ensure its dynamic equilibrium.
Keywords:
social policy, welfare, social spending, budget deficit, employment, unemployment, inequality, poverty, conflict, trust
