State policy covers fundamentally the main directions in the development of society. At the same time, specific tasks facing various branches of public life are being addressed. In this regard, there is a defense and environmental, internal and external, cultural and national, economic and social policies of the state. The sphere associated with the issues of the political system is also singled out. Specialists often also use fractional division, especially considering the technical, agricultural, demographic and other political sectors.
Due to the fact that all aspects and areas of society are closely interconnected, the above areas also interact. This frequent interpenetration and interweaving causes a rather conditional distinction.
However, there is a sphere that is closest to the totality of human interests and needs. This area is addressed to the social life of the population - the social policy of the state.
This definition should be understood as the activity of the state apparatus, charitable foundations, public organizations aimed at satisfying the interests and needs of citizens.
The social policy of the state is a sufficiently comprehensive concept. Its objects include the position of classes and groups, nationalities and nations, families separately, people in society, as well as all aspects of the welfare of the people.

For this, economic and labor activities of citizens are stimulated, conditions are provided for the whole able-bodied society to enable a person to ensure the well-being of his family. At the same time, the country's administration fully retains its obligations to the disabled, pensioners, disabled citizens, and large families.
The main directions of state social policy are expressed in the following:
- In the creation and development of the necessary infrastructure.
- In solving the problems of protection and environmental protection.
- In eliminating problems in the areas of social protection and employment.
- In solving socio-demographic issues.
- In the rational distribution of company income .

The social sphere refers to the field of society, in which, when distributing spiritual and material services and goods, first of all, state activity is realized, then religious and public organizations, charitable foundations.
In the current situation, there is an increasing need to increase the efficiency of the socio-economic activity of the state apparatus of the country, to concentrate the efforts of the authorities on solving the most acute problems, and to develop new mechanisms for implementing activities. Thus, it is possible to ensure the most rational use of material and financial resources.
