Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of foreign experience in the development of social services systems. The study examines social service models formed in international practice, with particular emphasis on the universal social services system implemented in Scandinavian countries, focusing on its institutional framework, financing mechanisms, and social effectiveness. The research highlights the theoretical and practical foundations of interpreting social services as long-term investments in human capital. Based on the findings, the possibilities of adapting foreign experience to the socio-economic conditions of Uzbekistan are assessed, and policy-oriented conclusions and recommendations for improving the national social services system are proposed.

Keywords:
