Abstract

The aim of the article is to define the conceptual framework for the formation and implementation of the policy for the structural adjustment of Ukraine’s economy, as well as to identify the basic principles, functional directions and priority measures to improve the structural policy of Ukraine. As a result of the study, key objectives and goals of the structural policy of Ukraine are identified, the criteria for determining the effectiveness of the organizational and economic mechanism for state regulation of structural changes are substantiated, and requirements for the formation and contents of intersectoral state programs for the structural adjustment of the economy of Ukraine are formulated. A set of functional and selective measures to improve the domestic structural policy, as well as mechanisms of institutional support for the implementation of these measures, are proposed. The functions of regulating the innovation and technological sphere in the system of the state structural policy are analyzed. The prospect for further research in this direction is the development of a methodology for determining the criteria for the selection of priority sectoral areas to perform structural changes in the Ukrainian economy.
