EN: The author of this scientific article considers the general concept, importance and principles of social partnership in regulating labor relations of society, presents three main models of social partnership operating in the world, characterized their strengths and weaknesses. It is analysed the current state of social partnership in Ukraine. It is expedient and extremely important to assess the current state of the domestic social partnership, to identify the disadvantages of functioning, to provide recommendations for their elimination, as well as to develop proposals on promising directions for further development and improvement of state policy on this issue. All of the above resulted in the relevance of the study of this work. The social partnership system in Ukraine is not well-established. It has certain disadvantages: the underdevelopment of legislative, organizational and socio-economic components of the system; limited content of collective agreements, which does not cover all important aspects of social and labor relations; insufficient number of hired workers to collective bargaining regulation; the relationship between social partners at the regional and sectoral levels is not well established; failure of the trade unions to fully carry out their functions on the protection of social and economic rights and interests of employees; the absence of a fully-formed class of employers as an active subject of social partnership; the ineffectiveness of concluding collective agreements, as there is no guarantee of their honest performance by social partners because of the reluctance to compromise; insufficient material base of social organizations on social partnership issues. A number of shortcomings and unresolved problems in the sphere of the social dialogue of our state is revealed. The priority directions of improvement of legislative, organizational and socio-economic com- ponents of the social partnership system are proposed. Recommendations on the possible solution of them are presented in order to improve the domestic system of social partnership and promote its development. Therefore, in order to further improve the social partnership system in Ukraine, it is expedient to: involve social groups and layers in the system of partnership relations that are not currently included in it; reforming legislative and normative acts on social partnership and social and labor relations with a view to bringing them into conformity with the norms of international law; accelerating the adoption of legislative acts directly related to the system of social partnership and its components; taking measures to raise awareness of the broad masses of society about social partnership.
