Dynamics of settlement and professional structure of Ukraine: interaction of national, civil and ethnic
Abstract
The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, was actually a threat to the existence of the Ukrainian state and the activity of the entire democratic world, and also had an impact on the settlement and socio-professional structure of the entire Ukrainian society. The war has led to the migration of the Ukrainian population, which is taking place against the background of destroyed Ukrainian industries and depleted human resources. The analysis of the settlement and socio-professional structure helps to find out not only the weaknesses and strengths of social changes in society, but also allows analyzing the existing potential in the form of opportunities and threats according to the SWOT-analysis. A special place is occupied by the methods of empirical research, methods of mathematical and statistical analysis and analysis of the All-Ukrainian census of Ukraine in 2001. To identify the ethnic conflict potential, several conditional multi-ethnic territories of Ukraine were compared: South Ukraine (the most multiethnic region of Ukraine), the Carpathian region, where 97% of the Hungarian national minority is concentrated, and the Ukrainian Northern Pryazov'ye region of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions, where 95% of the Greek national minority lives (according to the 2001 census). The article answers the question of how to use the strengths of social interaction of national-civic and ethnic in the socio-professional sphere of Ukraine, analyzed and grouped by the author on the basis of statistical and sociological data, in order to take advantage of internal and external opportunities and to minimize the impact of internal and external threats.The conclusions contain recommendations for public authorities in the field of domestic and foreign policy.
