During the working session, the delegates clarified the difficulties and obstacles related to the institutional framework, such as the shortcomings of the 2014 Law on Social Insurance and other relevant legal documents concerning social insurance. The coordination with local authorities in the field of social insurance has not been resolute enough, and there have been challenges in propaganda work, development of participants in social insurance, handling of delayed social insurance payments, inspection, examination, and handling of legal violations, as well as the resolution of complaints and denunciations regarding social insurance. At the same time, the causes and proposed solutions to overcome these difficulties in the coming time were presented.
