- EnglishCitizens have the right to social protection that includes the right to social provision in cases of complete, partial or temporary disability, the loss of the principal wage-earner, unemployment due to circumstances beyond their control and also in old age, and in other cases established by law.
This right is guaranteed by general mandatory state social insurance on account of the insurance payments of citizens, enterprises, institutions and organisations, and also from budgetary and other sources of social security; by the establishment of a network of state, communal and private institutions to care for persons incapable of work.
Pensions and other types of social payments and assistance that are the principal sources of subsistence, shall ensure a standard of living not lower than the minimum living standard established by law. (Art. 46) - UkrainianГромадяни мають право на соціальний захист, що включає право на забезпечення їх у разі повної, часткової або тимчасової втрати працездатності, втрати годувальника, безробіття з незалежних від них обставин, а також у старості та в інших випадках, передбачених законом.
Це право гарантується загальнообов'язковим державним соціальним страхуванням за рахунок страхових внесків громадян, підприємств, установ і організацій, а також бюджетних та інших джерел соціального забезпечення; створенням мережі державних, комунальних, приватних закладів для догляду за непрацездатними.
Пенсії, інші види соціальних виплат та допомоги, що є основним джерелом існування, мають забезпечувати рівень життя, не нижчий від прожиткового мінімуму, встановленого законом. (Стаття 46)
