Abstract. This work is devoted to the characterization and analysis of the most obvious trends emerging in the last few years in the field of social protection and reflecting changes in the mechanisms of its implementation. The analysis of scientific works in the field of social protection made it possible to identify and characterize the following main social protection mechanisms: social insurance; social security; social services; social support and assistance. In order to identify trends in the development of social protection mechanisms, the author reviewed the social protection measures introduced and implemented in recent years. The systematization and analysis of these measures were carried out on the basis of materials from an online survey conducted by the author of 28 experts in the field of social protection and social work from among researchers and teachers of higher education representing 19 cities of the Russian Federation. The analysis of the materials of the expert survey, scientific publications and statistical indicators made it possible to form a list of measures in the field of social protection that have appeared in recent years. These include: payment of maternity capital in connection with the birth of the first child; a single monthly allowance for families with children; preferential mortgage loans; social contract; active longevity programs; long-term care system; accompanied accommodation; introduction of digital technologies in the field of social protection. A review of the social protection measures mentioned by experts and considered in the scientific literature, which have appeared in recent years within the framework of the activities of the sphere of social protection and related branches of social orientation, allows us to draw some conclusions and conclusions concerning the trends in the development of social protection mechanisms. The analysis of these measures made it possible to assess their focus on solving acute socio-demographic problems. The systematization of the analyzed social protection measures has shown a tendency for the predominant development of social protection mechanisms in the field of social services, social support and assistance, which makes it possible to ensure the necessary standard of living for the population. A significant decrease in the role of social insurance mechanisms, taking into account the labor contribution of beneficiaries of social protection, has been revealed.
