Abstract
The problem of managerialization of the social services practice in Russia and abroad is considered on the example of conducting evaluation studies of services for women in difficult life situations. Women in difficult life situations began to stand out in a separate category of social services clients, work with which requires the opening of specialized departments and the development of special programs. The article provides an overview of foreign evolutionary research services for this category. There are programs which value were considered obvious and not requiring evidence, but they turned out to be ineffective. At the same time, most programs have a positive effect on clients’ lives. One of the consequences of managerialization the social sphere abroad was the proliferation of evaluative studies of social programs. The author also considered the typology of evaluative research, which is offered by foreign scientists.
