Legal and Socio-Economic Mechanisms of State Safety Management of Workers with Disabilities in the Context of International Integration
Abstract
Purpose. Scientific substantiation and development of an integrated model for evaluating the effectiveness of legal and socio economic mechanisms of public administration of occupational safety for workers with disabilities, taking into account international approaches, civil safety requirements, emergency preparedness, and first aid organization.
Method. A systemic approach, methods of analysis and generalization of scientific sources, comparative analysis of international experience, an indicator based approach, and an integral method for assessing the effectiveness of public policy.
Findings. The necessity of integrating legal, socio economic, institutional, and organizational response mechanisms into a unified public administration system is substantiated. An integrated evaluation model is proposed, including four functional blocks: legal, socio economic, institutional, and emergency response and first aid. A system of indicators, a method for forming an integral index, and a scale for its interpretation have been developed. This approach ensures the possibility of quantitative assessment of public policy effectiveness, comparative analysis across regions and sectors, and identification of funding priorities for inclusive safety measures.
Theoretical implications. The study develops theoretical approaches to public administration of occupational safety by substantiating the concept of integrating inclusiveness, emergency response, and first aid into a unified system for evaluating effectiveness. The proposed model expands scientific understanding of the systemic assessment of public policy performance in the field of occupational safety.
Practical implications. The proposed approach can be used for strategic monitoring of public administration effectiveness, improvement of the regulatory framework, strengthening institutional capacity of supervisory authorities, justification of investments in safety measures, and development of inclusive working environments.
Originality. A comprehensive model for evaluating the effectiveness of public policy has been developed, which systematically combines legal, socio economic, institutional, and operational response mechanisms and considers first aid as a structural component of public administration.
Research limitations. The limitations are related to the conceptual nature of the model, the need for its testing using empirical data from different regions and sectors, and the refinement of indicator weights during practical implementation.
Article type. Empirical.
