In the conditions of Russian military aggression, the challenges of preserving human potential and humanitarian development arose and significantly deepened in Ukraine. These problems are not only in the socio-economic plane and financial support, but also in the field of socio-cultural dimension/welfare dimension. This requires the implementation of the state policy of post-war Ukraine in accordance with the foundations of the scientific concept of social quality. The research provides general theoretical foundations of the concept of social quality, key concepts and tools for ensuring social quality of life in modern societies, its quantitative and qualitative assessment. The expediency of Ukraine's implementation of a management approach of social quality based on the principles and principles of socio-economic security, social cohesion, solidarity, social justice, which will ensure the realization of social opportunities and inclusiveness and will allow the social values of equality and human dignity to take root, is substantiated. It is proven that the introduction of the concept of social quality into the state administration system will contribute to the transformation of the "social contract" between the actors of socio-economic development and will accelerate the restoration of the national socio-economic space on the basis of sustainable inclusive development. The article substantiates the relevance of the alternative to the neoliberal paradigm in the conditions of growing global challenges and the need to update social quality approaches and take into account both climate changes and value orientations and economic ethics. The author notes the need for significant efforts to change the paradigm of the dominant economic theory and practice based on it, which will be adequate for modern times.
