IV. Organization of works on address social protection

Implementation of the mechanism of address social protection of the population needs legal support. Are for this purpose necessary:

1. Development and adoption of the Laws of the Republic Kyrgyzstan "About the minimum consumer budget", "About minimum wage".

2. Entering of corresponding changes into the Laws of the Republic Kyrgyzstan "About pensions", "About employment of the population", "About public welfare payments to the families having children".

It is required by the fact that during economic reform and development of market structures new groups of socially unprotected segments of the population appear:

- large families, whose comprehensive per capita income is below the poverty line;

- persons which for the first time are looking for work - graduates of comprehensive schools, the highest and average special educational institutions, pupils of technical training colleges;

- the persons who lost entitlement to benefit on unemployment and are not employed;

- persons receiving social pensions in view of absence at them necessary years of service for receipt of work pension.

3. Development and approval at the republican level for each social and demographic national group:

- standard rates of the energy costs necessary for preserving normal physiological state of the person and recovery of its working capacity;

- the consumer goods basket including:

standard set of food products corresponding on caloric content to energy costs of the person;

standard set of vital nonfoods;

standard set of vital objects of sanitation and hygiene, drugs;

standard list of obligatory money payments for life-supporting household services and transportation expenses;

standard list of obligatory taxes and fees.

On the basis of the above-stated standard rates methodical recommendations about calculations of the minimum consumer budget (subsistence minimum) for each social and demographic group are developed and affirm.

On the basis of republican standard social standard rates and recommendations the corresponding regional indicators can be determined and be accepted taking into account local features.

For determination of the actual minimum consumer budget by Gosstatagentstv under the Government of the Republic Kyrgyzstan systematic observation of price level of the goods and services which are part of consumer goods basket in retail, cooperative and market trade is made.

Bodies Gosstatagentstva under the Government of the Republic Kyrgyzstan systematically inspect in the city and rural zone of all regions household budgets of different social national groups all segments of the population of profession were completely provided to them (agricultural industry, independently busy peasants are not farmers, employees, income sources (the income of the farmer, the income not of the farmer, pension, social support) taking into account condition and development of market economy.

On the basis of the analysis of price level, compensation and other income of workers, state of the economy and financial opportunities, the short and medium term of development of the national economy, the approved social standard rates relevant proposals to the Government of the republic on address social protection of the population are developed.

Similar work is carried out on places. With involvement of the non-governmental (public) organizations local public administrations will organize and carry out studying of financial position of families and citizens for the subsequent rendering necessary assistance to them.

When using the state grant for food of prime necessity - bread, flour, milk its total amount, and the increasing part of the remaining size of the grant gradually decreases it is given to the poorest segments of the population.

In case of considerable deterioration in supply with bread sale of its cheap grades according to coupons, with first-priority providing families with the low income with them is entered. The same measures are performed in case of realization of milk and dairy products, baby food, with expansion of its sale through schools, preschool institutions, the centers of health.

It is necessary to keep generally on the near-term outlook acting for disabled people, participants of war and persons equated to them, the military personnel, students and pupils of privilege on payment of housing, transport and utilities, expenses on coal for heating of the personal houses and apartments which do not have heat supply. Calculations show that significant increase in the cost level by these purposes in total expenses of the population is capable to disorganize the operating system of social protection of the population, its least secure groups.

In practical work on realization of the mechanism of social protection of the most vulnerable national groups it is necessary to coordinate more purposefully both on republican, and at the local level activities of state bodies, non-governmental (public) organizations more effectively to use their potential opportunities (organizational, professional, financial, on bonds with the foreign organizations). From state bodies non-governmental organizations need to give help in preparation and advanced training of personnel, and also to facilitate their taxation.

In the cities and areas where the main practical work on realization of the mechanism of social protection of the population will be concentrated, there is no service organizing and coordinating carrying out all package of measures for material support of lower-income strata today. Therefore it is necessary to create it in case of heads of local public administrations.

In case of development of actions for implementation of address social protection studying of public opinion on efficiency of the measures taken in the republic at all levels in this area is carried out.
