The Policy of Formation of the Middle Class: Essence, Components, and Priority Directions in Ukraine
Abstract
The article is aimed at formulating the essence of policy of formation of the middle class and defining its priority directions in Ukraine. The determination of prerequisites for the formation and development of the middle class made it possible to make an assumption about the synthesized nature of the policy of formation of the middle class, which combines (as its subsystems) the income policy, employment policy, entrepreneurship support policy, policy of formation of proprietary class, and humanitarian policy. The algorithm of solving the problem of low share of the middle class in Ukrainian society has been developed. The priority directions of the policy of formation of the middle class in Ukraine, directed on creation of necessary economic, social and legal conditions and guarantees for increase of a share of this social group in the Ukrainian society are defined. Prospect for further research in this direction is development of a strategy for the formation of the middle class.
