The Dynamics of Socio-Economic Development of Ukraine and its Regions in the Real Sector of Economy

Abstract

One of the priority directions for structural reforms in Ukraine on the road to European Integration is the reform of decentralization of power and modernization of the system of public administration on the national and local levels, allowing for a more efficient provision of the socio-economic development of both the individual territories and the country as a whole. However, the actual indicators of the socio-economic development of the regions of Ukraine indicate a further increase in the inequality of their development. These tendencies have been particularly accentuated by the socio-political and socio-economic crises that took place in the country during 2014-2015. The publication carries out an analysis of the socio-economic development of the regions of Ukraine during the period of 2014-2017, and assesses the dynamics of socio-economic development of the regions in the real sector of economy. Proposals have been presented to address problematic issues of socio-economic development in the regions of Ukraine in the context of crisis occurrences in the social-political and socio-economic spheres.
