Abstract
In this article the author reviews the essence of social justice within the framework of sociological discourse. The importance of the social justice is outlined since it stands out for determining reform activities and social policy of the state as a social superstructure. The author states four basic concepts of social justice (egalitarian, utilitarian, Rawls concept and the market concepts) and analyzes each of them in the context of their possible use in Ukraine. The main focus of the article is on the Social Justice index, as newly invented social indices, which has been developed in the European Union and is updated annually by institutions of EU. The comparative analysis of countries’ rankings in terms of social justice for 2014 and 2015 uncover changes that are discusses in the paper. It is noted that with every year the gap between the successful Nordic countries and those countries of the southern EU part that are still in the post-crisis phase is increasing. However, at the same time, in most countries of the EU the social justice index stays on the acceptable and a high level over the past years, and this level does not have the tendency to a deterioration. The author also examines possibilities of applying the Social Justice Index, and indices that compile it, in Ukraine. Ukraine is also analyzed in frame of the Index of Human Development of the United Nations, as another example of social indexes.
