ABOUT LEGAL FUNCTIONAL LITERACY OF POPULATION IN SPHERE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF RIGHTS OF THE MINORS IN THE AREA OF HEALTH CARE

Abstract

Nowadays, the crisis of family as a fundamental social institute is one of the serious problems of the Russian society. At the actual stage of national development, the given occurrence is aggravated by atmosphere of total protracted social economic crisis related to period of reforms. The progressing deterioration of condition of family in all aspects of its life activities is a generalized process negatively impacting the development and education of children. The juridical competence based on legal functional literacy is one of the determinants conditioning behavior of parents as related to the minors. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the level of legal functional literacy of population in issues of implementation of rights of the minors in the area of health protection. The results of sociological survey permitted to conclude that the degree of legal awareness of population at the level of administrative municipal formation of the subject of the Russian Federation in issues of legal status of the minors is inadequate. Such stratification characteristics of citizen as family status, social status, level of material well-being came as predictors conditioning existing situation. The established predictors of legal awareness of citizen such as social status, family status, level of material well-being, permitted to establish a particular category of population - a target risk group untenable within the framework of implementation of rights of the minors, including health protection due to inadequate level of legal competence. The determinants presented in the established cluster of population are relatively manageable and they can be compensated by rationale and efficient policy of the state authorities and health care system in issues of increasing level of life and legal education of population including the field of health protection.
