COVID 19 pandemic, healthcare workers, incentive measures, social protectionAbstract
The purpose of this study is to identify existing policies related to social protection of healthcare workers during the spread of a pandemic. The study is based on the assumption that it is mainly developing countries that resort to extensive government programs. Using the method of political and legal analysis the research considers the initiatives of government bodies aimed at increasing the level of social protection of health workers and determining effective incentive measures for medical workers. The study notes that to date incentive measures and government programs are mostly implemented by developing countries. At the same time, it seems premature today to make a final conclusion about the direct relationship between incentive measures and the standard of living in the country or similar indicators. The research results can be used by the subjects of legislative initiative to improve existing policies in the field of social protection.
