Abstract

Interest in this topic is determined by the role that the social contract should play in reducing poverty in the Russian Federation. At the moment, the social contract is considered one of the most promising technologies for providing social assistance. At the same time, the innovative nature of this technology gives rise to a number of problems that reduce the overall efficiency of work. The article identifies the main problems in the implementation of the social contract and directions for overcoming them by referring to the existing experience of social work. The study defines a framework for assisting citizens and social protection authorities in improving the effectiveness of the implementation of social contracts. This basis is the theory and practice of social work, which allows outlining a number of areas of activity to support citizens entering into social contracts. Considerable attention in the study is paid to the possibility of adapting existing social practices to current problems of implementing social assistance based on social contracts.
