In order to understand what constitute social obligations, you must first open the Constitution of the country. All those theses in the statement which says "the state is obligated", "the state guarantees" - this is the obligation.
Social politics
In the modern sense, social obligations of the state are social services that are provided to the population at the expense of budgets and extra-budgetary funds. Thus, formally, social obligations can be regarded as additional incomes of the population. The size and procedure for providing social obligations are enshrined in the Constitution and federal laws. The totality of social obligations underlies the mechanism of social policy of the state.
At the same time, it is a mistake to understand social obligations as state charity. It is more correct to evaluate them as regulators of economic and political processes in society. Fulfillment of social obligations is a guarantee of the availability of a living wage for each citizen, an important factor in the stability of social structure and smoothing of social differences between classes.
