ETHICAL ECONOMY AS A METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGE OF POSTMODERNISM

Valerii Novikov — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The article is devoted to the problem of the compatibility of the economic and ethical foundations of entrepreneurial activity. In the conditions of postmodernism, their connection is blurred by a complex interweaving of economic and ethical motives. The conclusions of researchers who study this issue often contradict actual practice. Moreover, in postmodern philosophy, ethics in the general theoretical sense was not only underestimated, but also not regarded as an acceptable phenomenon. That is why science has not developed a complex of intellectual actions that would have a universal character to neutralize the negative consequences of postmodernism.

Considering the growing role of ethical issues in the modern society and their lack of development in the economic environment, it is reasonable to analyze the series of works of the German economist, philosopher and sociologist Peter Koslowski. In his studies, the issues of bridging the gap between ethics and economic rationality associated with postmodernism as a special historical era, which is characterized by a number of specific features that are critical to the emergence and deepening of socio-economic risks, are discussed in a balanced and objective manner. Due to this it is relevant to define the problems of the theory of ethical economy not in isolation, but in interaction and mutual influence with modern transformation processes of postmodernism. The productive attempt to consider these issues was made by Peter Koslowski in his fundamental works: «Postmodern Culture», «Principles of Ethical Economy», «Ethics of Banking». The purpose of this article is to consider, based on the conceptualization of Peter Koslowski’s methodological position, the theoretical concept of ethical economy as a potentially important factor in overcoming the ethical neutralization of the economic system in the postmodern period. The novelty is the definition of ethical economy as a universal theory of rational activity, which takes into account the interaction of various socio-economic factors — ethics, economy and finance, law, sociology, history — which allows it to be interpreted as a multi-subject scientific discipline, the semantic contexts of which determine behavioral choice of economic entities, consumer and humanitarian expectations of the population. The methods of hermeneutics, analysis and synthesis, comparison, abstraction and generalization were used in the research. The main conclusions of the article are characterized by theoretical innovations that can provoke methodological discussions and ultimately contribute to an in-depth study of the multifaceted issues of ethical economy. The detailed and logically consistent concept of ethical economy as a system of economic views on a fair economic order during the period of change of world history eras, change from modernity to postmodernity is presented. The normative side of ethical economy includes legal obligations, which can be properly implemented in laws. In the triad of law, ethics and economics, the principle of efficiency and social justice applies to both law itself and ethics and should be used in the development of adequate legislation.

USAGE OF BIG DATA FOR INFORMATION SUPPORT OF THE LABOR MARKET

Mykhailo Rozbytskyi — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The challenges of collecting current labor market data amidst global changes and geopolitical fluctuations increasingly necessitate new approaches and alternative methods of data collection and analysis. This highlights the relevance of research aimed at developing and adapting labor market information provision methods to contemporary challenges. A promising approach in this context is the use of Big Data for labor market assessment, which involves collecting information from sources such as online job search and vacancy portals. This method allows for a deeper analysis of market trends and provides a more accurate and timely assessment of labor market needs and opportunities. The aim of this article is to discuss approaches to developing labor market information systems using Big Data, particularly online data from job vacancy websites. It examines the use of Big Data in labor market analysis based on a database containing over four million job vacancies posted on Ukrainian job search portals over the last five years, provided by the European Training Foundation (ETF). The effectiveness of these approaches in facilitating job search for all interested parties is evaluated, particularly through providing insights into the dynamics of supply and demand in the labor market based on data from these portals. The opportunities and limitations of using Big Data in this context are analyzed, including their impact on employment policy development and labor market planning. The potential benefits of Big Data in providing deeper and more accurate market condition analyses are outlined, along with technical aspects and challenges associated with their processing and interpretation. The article examines methodological approaches to data collection and analytical processing in the context of accelerated transformations, volatility, and limited access to traditional information resources. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the substantiation of the feasibility and appropriateness of using open data from online job portals for labor market information provision under current conditions. In conducting the research, methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization were applied to identify the main contemporary issues of labor market information provision in Ukraine. The effectiveness of data collection methods based on web scraping and parsing techniques was evaluated, as well as the use of the integrated Snowflake platform to identify key trends and patterns in the labor market. The conclusions summarize the main points and substantiate directions for further research, highlighting the significance of Big Data in developing employment strategies and optimizing the labor market.

PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIGRATION PROCESSES IN UKRAINE

Olena Malynovska — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Population losses caused by the war, in particular forced migration abroad, are an obvious challenge to the stability of Ukraine, and can become a serious brake on its post-war recovery and development. Future EU membership carries with it the risk of further departure of citizens who will have the right to live, work, and study freely on the territory of a united Europe. In order to find adequate answers to possible problems in a timely manner, it is necessary to try to identify the most likely direction of the development of the migration situation in the context of European integration, which is the purpose of this article. Its novelty lies in the substantiation of the possible volumes of migration, its dynamics, composition and consequences under the influence of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. The analysis is based on the most widely used theoretical approaches to explaining migration, data on intra-European migration movements after previous EU enlargements, as well as the migration experience of Ukrainians in recent decades. When processing factual and analytical material, historical, logical, comparative methods, the method of scientific abstraction are used.

Both theoretical considerations and actual data indicate a natural short-term intensification of migration of the population of the countries joining the EU. As a result of the war, the destruction of the economy, unemployment and impoverishment of the population, the exodus from Ukraine may be even larger. Additional ground for such an assumption is the experience of labor migration, which has been used by Ukrainians since the 1990s as a strategy for survival in crisis conditionst. At the same time, joining the EU, as it was proven by previous enlargements, contributes to the increase of labor productivity, the activation of the economy, the inflow of foreign investments and, as a result, the gradual increase of wages and the welfare of the population, which in the context of migration reduces the motivation to leave and determines the return. Citizens of Ukraine, as a democratic state, will independently decide whether to stay in the country, leave it or return to its territory. At the same time, the state can provide institutional and informational support to migrants, protect the interests of its citizens abroad, and create conditions for return. The development of migration policy taking into account the perspective of Ukraine’s accession to the EU is extremely relevant not only from a scientific, but also from a practical point of view.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHALLENGES OF INTEGRATION AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF WAR-INDUCED INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS

Oleksii Havryliuk — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The full-scale Russian military aggression against Ukraine launched on February 24, 2022 has led to a massive flow of forced migrants, both external and internal, which is unprecedented and the most massive forced displacement in Europe since World War II. So far, there is a significant inequality of attention to the socio-economic needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees, because most activities of international institutions and scientific attention are devoted to the needs and study of refugees, while the needs of IDPs are often “ignored” or understudied in terms of disproportionate spatial distribution of IDPs, challenges of integration into host communities, problems of consolidation of IDPs and local population, etc. The analysis of the existing body of literature on Ukrainian IDPs showed that the study of their current socio-economic situation, problems with integration into host communities and features of spatial distribution is poorly represented for the period of a full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war against the background of a huge body of pre-2022 literature. Taking into account such an insignificant body of literature on post-2022 Ukrainian IDPs, the main tasks of this study are twofold: (1) to fill the gap and expand the spectrum of knowledge about the current socio-economic situation of Ukrainian IDPs and the key problems of their integration into host communities in the conditions of a full-scale Russo-Ukrainian war; (2) analyze positive and negative international practices of IDP integration and develop recommendations for Ukraine. This article is devoted to the analysis of trends and the identification of the main socio-economic challenges of the integration and spatial distribution of Ukrainian IDPs, as well as the development of proposals for using their migration potential for the resilient development of Ukraine and host communities. The novelty of the research lies in the highlighting of positive and negative international practices of IDP integration and, as a result, the necessity of forming long-term solutions regarding the urgent socio-economic needs of Ukrainian IDPs and their spatial placement is emphasized. The dataset of the study was formed on the basis of data from reports of various international organizations and data from official state statistics. To achieve the goal of the article, quantitative methods are used, in particular, descriptive statistics and ranking.

It was established that in the global context, Ukraine ranks third in the world by the number of IDPs, and their number is almost 6 million people (7 times more than before the full-scale Russian invasion), which definitely impacts the course of global migration processes. In the national context, it was found that the pattern of the spatial distribution of IDPs within the country indicates that most IDPs gravitate to the regions where the role of the regional centre is performed by one of the five metropolises of Ukraine (not including temporarily occupied Donetsk) — Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro and Lviv, which are powerful socio-economic centres and flagships of the country’s settlement system. It was found that the biggest challenges for the socioeconomic integration of IDPs into host communities are high unemployment, financial difficulties in meeting basic needs, housing problems, social stigmatization, as well as conflicts between IDPs and the population of host communities. The analysis showed that the current situation with Ukrainian IDPs requires from the government of Ukraine and the authorities of the host communities not short-term, but longterm solutions to the urgent problems of IDPs: in particular, social housing and proper housing conditions, social protection, avoiding shameful international practices of spatial placement of IDPs and much more.

QUALITY OF LIFE: BUDGETARY BALLAST OR A NECESSARY GOVERNMENT PROGRAME

Victoriіa Mykytenko, Dmytro Mykytenko — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of the study is to determine the risks, challenges and threats caused by the genetic liability, environmental conditions and living environment, to establish the importance of their impact on the quality of life in Ukraine, to develop a methodological approach to their assessment and to develop a set of measures within the context of the spatial regeneration of the national socio-economic system under conditions of the military aggression of the Russian Federation and in the postwar period. The research is based on information from open sources, expert opinions, data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and the data base of the World Health Organization, on results presented in medical, demographic and economic monographic studies and the materials included in sample surveys. Systemic approach and analysis methods, sociological, genetic population, statistical, comparative analysis, generalizations and expert evaluations were utilized.

It has been recognized that factors such as genetic burden and environmental conditions and the environment of life have increased the impact on the quality of life of the population of Ukraine, the effect of which has determined the requirements for societal, demographic, organizational-economic, medical-social and socio-political response to threatening events. Awareness of demographic determinism, general laws and modern economic trends in the formation of the quality of life in the country in the conditions of military aggression of the Russian Federation allowed: a) to form a complex of medical and genetic, social, public and state mechanisms and measures to ensure it; b) specify the negative factors of the spatial evolution of the socio-economic system, which determined the need to take into account the medical and genetic reserves and opportunities and develop measures to eliminate the destructive influence of environmental conditions and living environment in the course of solving the demographic and socio-economic problems of the state; c) propose a medical-genetic concept of quality of life and living environment, the implementation of which will enable the generation of a healthy heritage (physical and psychological), will allow to form potential and build up reserves for improving the quality of life. Taking into account resource limitations and the presence of threats and risks in the internal environment, medical genetic counseling and testing, the creation of satisfactory environmental conditions along with a living environment become necessary levers in the recovery of Ukraine. The constitution and importance of the impact of quality of life factors for Ukraine have been updated: heredity (32.0 %); environmental conditions and living environment (32.0 %); nature of the life and lifestyle of the individual (26.0 %); quality of medical care and socio-economic factors (10.0 %). Systemic conditions for the regeneration of the demographic and economic situation, improvement of the quality of life and well-being to proceed with the development of a healthy society have been formulated. A model for assessing the quality of life has been developed, enhancing the methodological approach in assessing the economic equivalent of the value of living, which also involves calculatiing the economic profit of the state from the preserved working capacity of a person as a result of successful treatment / prevention of a genetic anomaly. This becomes the basis for: substantiating the economic effectiveness of medical and genetic care and other treatment and preventive measures for patients with genetic pathologies; rationalization of pension payments; development of a new social policy. The practical significance of the results becomes the basis to improve: the national model of medical and genetic monitoring; a set of preventative measures within the population; analysis of aggressive environmental conditions and living environment; cost of living estimates; systems for managing loss risk factors.

FINANCIAL BEHAVIOR OF HOUSEHOLDS IN THE CONTEXT OF THEIR RESILIENT DEVELOPMENT

Viacheslav Zaiats — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The relevance of the article is related to the need to study the financial behavior of households as one of the factors of ensuring their resilient development in conditions of instability and uncertainty. In the conditions of war, the country’s financial market and the behavior of the subjects of financial relations are the epicenter of the country’s macroeconomic stability, which depends on the resilience of households to risky situations and the quality of life. The specified interrelationship will strengthen under the condition of active prejudice against poverty and state support of the population, which found itself in difficult life circumstances as a result of the war. The purpose of the article is to study the influence of financial behavior and financial instruments on the resilience of the country’s households in conditions of socio-economic instability and uncertain development prospects. The novelty of the work consists in identifying the peculiarities of the financial behavior of households, caused by the growth of wartime risks against the background of real opportunities and trends of their resilient development. The research is based on the use of various data sources and the application of a number of scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, selective observations). Modern financial behavior of households combines elements of various models — consumer, savings, investment, credit, insurance, charity, the relationships between which are transformed depending on the action of external and internal factors. In the conditions of war, the motives for forming one or another model of financial behavior of households change, in the choice of which they can be guided by the interests of preserving the status quo or increasing financial assets. The advantages of the saving behavior model of households as the most acceptable for resistance to wartime risks and threats and the transformation of labor income of the population into development investment resources are determined. Unlike most European countries, Ukraine is dominated by channels of unorganized savings of the population due to a low level of trust in banking structures, uncertainty in the future, and efforts to prevent the emergence of new financial risks. The transition to organized forms of savings of the population will ensure the resilience of economic development against the background of the stability of the financial and credit system of the state, trust in it by consumers of financial services. In this context, a sufficient level of profitability of financial instruments and financial literacy of the population are necessary. For its spread, it is necessary to achieve a sufficiently high level of income, rational consumption and possession of effective financial instruments against the background of trust in financial institutions.

INTERSECTORAL COOPERATION IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF UKRAINE

Tetiana Zaiats, Halyna Kraievska — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The article examines the social aspects of the organization of intersectoral cooperation as one of the sources of the development of territorial communities and their adaptation to the complex socio-political and socio-economic conditions of the war period. The need to speed up recovery processes and successfully develop the country’s economy in combination with the European integration tasks currently makes this area of scientific research relevant. The purpose of the article is to determine the transformational changes in the development of intersectoral cooperation in territorial communities with the substantiation of stimulating mechanisms in the context of their social development tasks. The novelty is the generalization of the results of changes which took place in the organization of intersectoral cooperation in the field of social service provision in communities during the war period. The article uses the methods of system analysis, generalization and comparison, economic and statistical analysis. It was revealed that intersectoral cooperation in the territorial communities of the country has not yet acquired a systemic nature with appropriate legislative and regulatory support and is practiced only in case of critical exacerbation of local socio-economic or socio-ecological problems. The specifics of the modern organization of intersectoral interaction in the communities of the country was considered and the main trends of its development in the field of social service provision, as well as the possibility of overcoming the wartime barriers, were identified. It was found that the main obstacles to the development of intersectoral cooperation are related to its informal nature, the low level of complementarity of interacting parties’ interests, and the lack of platforms for communication. In the absence of a comprehensive concept of the development of territorial communities’ social sphere in the war period, an assessment of the sphere of social service provision in the communities was carried out, and the problems of its digitalization and staffing were determined from the perspective of the possibilities for development of various social interaction forms. The need to transition to a new format of intersectoral cooperation based on partnership, social responsibility, and constructive dialogue between participants in order to successfully implement local initiatives and minimize the negative consequences of competition between various entities and social groups has been proved. Actively spreading the possibilities of cross-sectoral cooperation, formed on collective efforts and joint responsibility on a partnership basis, to the social development of communities will ensure the successful solution of local socio-economic, information & communication, environmental protection problems, taking into account the interests of local residents. The article defines directions and conditions of the organization of intersectoral cooperation that are strategically significant for the social development of the country’s territorial communities and suggests appropriate mechanisms capable of strengthening its potential in the near future.

IMPACT OF «RURAL» BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES OF THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE ON QUALITY OF LIFE IN TIMES OF WAR

Yurii Kohatko, Svitlana Polіakova — Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of the article is to analyse and understand how «rural» behavioural aspects of the Ukrainian population influence the perception and adaptation to the conditions of armed conflict. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of those rural behavioural aspects that are common to the entire population and may impact adaptation strategies and the improvement of quality of life during military events. In the context of modern conflicts and war scenarios, the study of population behaviour and its impact on the resilience of quality of life becomes particularly significant. Military conflicts not only threaten the safety and stability of society but also sharply increase the importance of understanding population behavioural aspects in the conditions of armed conflict and their impact on the quality of life. The examination of population behaviour during an extreme period of armed conflict potentially provides answers to how effectively the Ukrainian population can adapt to economic difficulties and overcome them.

For the investigation of the impact of «rural» behavioural aspects on the quality of life of the population in Ukraine, a combination of specialized and general scientific methods was employed. These include the monographic method, bibliometrics, and content analysis. Additionally, forecasting and modelling methods were utilized to predict the impact of fullscale military actions on poverty, a key indicator of quality of life. After the conducted research, it can be noted that in the conditions of a full-scale invasion by Russian forces, the «rural» behavioural characteristics of Ukrainians exhibit numerous advantages, arising from the close interaction between rural and urban existence. It is demonstrated that a potentially significant portion of the country’s population, particularly those of rural origin, possesses skills in land management. The presence of relatives in villages and small towns, who have large living spaces and substantial land plots, enabled the acceptance of many forcibly displaced individuals during the war. The study confirms that behavioural traits such as the tradition of stockpiling food supplies, maintaining habitable housing conditions in rural areas, and the existence of close familial and social ties have significantly mitigated the impact of the war on the population.
