摘要:The purpose of this article is to develop directions for transforming the regional social protection system. The regions with a large imbalance in the population structure are very vulnerable. The study focuses on the analysis of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO), as it differs in a specific labor market with a large number of shift workers. The result of the study was the identification of priority areas for the regional social protection system development. The analyzed foreign experience also showed the need to involve retirees in the labor activity.
