Social policy is one of the main spheres of the state's internal policy. The social protection system aims to improve the quality of life and increase the level of material well-being of the socially vulnerable segments of the population. The social protection system must be quickly and efficiently adapted to changes in the living standards of the population, without hindering economic growth at the same time. Solving this problem requires the implementation of new technologies for social protection of the population, taking into account the experience of foreign countries and national characteristics. The purpose of the study is to determine the role of social vouchers in supporting disadvantaged people, identifying the characteristics and benefits of their implementation.
