the standard of living and impoverishment of the population in need of social protection, provision
of free medical services and education opportunities for children of low-income families, and also

Accordingly, the current model of social protection requires revision. The parameters of
the social protection model at the new stage are determined by the main directions, goals and
development tasks that the country sets for itself in the medium and long term.
