SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP IN SOCIAL WORK: THEORETICAL BASIS AND PRACTICAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

The article examines the concept of social partnership as a system of interaction between employers, workers and the state, aimed at creating a socially acceptable and motivational system that compensates for social inequalities in social production. Key aspects include ensuring safety and working conditions, fair pay and protection of workers' rights through collective agreements and tripartite commissions. Important directions are employment management, development of social programs and coordination of interests of various parties in the resolution of labor disputes. The social partnership system plays a key role in ensuring socio-economic development and employment support, adapting to the changing conditions and requirements of the socio-economic environment. Based on the analysis of various aspects of social partnership, it can be determined that its effectiveness depends on numerous factors. One of the most important is the ability to adapt and meet the changing conditions and requirements of the socio-economic environment. The modern world is constantly changing, and the requirements for social partnership are modified accordingly. It should include not only the classic elements of managing labor relations and socio-economic processes, but also be flexible to take into account new challenges and trends, such as digital transformation, green economy and changes in the structure of employment. The importance of social partnership for local development in Ukraine is strengthened by the decentralization reform, which allows local communities to independently resolve territorial issues. This reform opens up prospects for increasing the influence of citizens on the processes of management and development of their territories. At the same time, the responsibility of municipal management, the quality of territory management, which depends on the ability of local authorities to take into account the interests of the community, constantly improve management practices and develop partnership relations with local businesses and the community, are taken into account.
