In the current global crisis, the problem of social policy is not only for children but also for all other categories of the population, especially over time. In Ukraine identifying these problems acts as a barometer of the maturity of the welfare state and of building a civil society. Particular attention is drawn to the analysis and evaluation of status indicators, the factors of formation and welfare of our citizens, taking into account their age qualification. It is the basis for creating the conditions for the proper development of the younger generation and for ensuring positive change. Without the formation of effective mechanisms for the implementation of social policy, it is unthinkable to argue for the effectiveness of socio-economic reforms and the implementation of a course of gradual entry into the international economic space. In this regard, the idea of presenting a model of children’s welfare formation in the form of an integral index, the arguments and mechanisms of implementation of which are outlined in this scientific work, deserves attention.
