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.

Kraievska","doi":"10.15407/dse2024.01.059","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/dse2024.01.059","url":null,"abstract":"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.

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.

Since the full-scale invasion of Russian troops, volunteer activities in Ukrainian communities have increased. The growth of people’s resistance was one of the reasons for the creation of new volunteer groups, strengthening the activities of charitable structures of the informal sector. The change in motivational features of the active part of the population of communities in de-occupied territories contributed to the mass volunteering and the initiative to create and provide various volunteer services. The purpose of this article is to explore the peculiarities of the formation of social cohesion, resilience and the increase in social capital in the context of community volunteer group’s activities. Novelty is the presentation and analysis of the results of a questionnaire survey of a volunteer group of one of the communities in the Kyiv region. The results of the survey were analyzed, which became the basis for determining the resiliency and opportunities for increasing social capital in the Nemishayeve settlement territorial community. The survey was conducted in late January and early February 2023, with 63 respondents. The article uses the authors’ own experience in volunteering in this volunteer group. The reasons for the creation of the group are substantiated, and the study determines its importance for rallying the population, the formation of trust in volunteer entities through the systematic submission of transparent report filings and the presence of constant feedback from individual units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are directly assisted by the volunteers of the group. This includes, in particular, weaving camouflage nets, making instant food kits, sewing camouflage suits, making dugout candles and mini-stoves, collecting donations for the purchase of off-road vehicles, medicines and hygiene products, etc. The features of the group’s activities since its inception in June 2022 until today have been determined. Attention is focused on the use of existing and formation of new resources of community’s social capital, the importance of logistics chains, social ties between the existing entities of the informal sector both within the community and beyond. The probable reasons for the decrease in volunteer activity in the grouping have been determined and the directions for improving the activity of the volunteer group have been proposed, which will contribute to strengthening its resilience, increasing volunteer activity. Conclusions on the effectiveness of the group are drawn, new approaches and opportunities are proposed to improve the organizational component by improving the professional level of volunteer management and transition to institutional form. The intensification of volunteer activities in the community is influenced by transformational changes in terms of greater involvement of young people, which at th","PeriodicalId":210079,"journal":{"name":"Demography and social economy","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relevance is due to the existence of significant challenges for the demographic and socio-economic development of Ukraine, which have intensified as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The war intensifies depopulation against the backdrop of decline in the quality of life and increases the migratory outflow of the population. Family policy has the potential to mitigate demographic challenges. Studying the experience of its implementation in countries that have gone through heavy military operations on their own territory and have similar demographic behaviour of the population can contribute to the formation of vision for the development of family policy in Ukraine. The cases of wars and post-war reconstruction of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were determined to be the most comparable. The purpose of the paper is to study the experience of family policy in countries that had the wars on their own territory and to determine the possibilities of implementing their experience in Ukraine. The work uses the following methods: comparison, generalization and induction, historical analogy and systemic approach, critical assessment of scientific achievements in the relevant field, elements of graphic analysis and comparative legal analysis, abstract-logical method. A set of statistical indicators used in the article is based on the materials of Eurostat, OECD Family Database, World Bank Open Data, the Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, scientific publications on the subject. The novelty of the work consists in supplementing ideas about the possibilities and consequences of the implementation of family policy in post-war conditions, as well as the possibilities of using the experience of other countries in the conditions of post-war recovery. It is substantiated that the development of the family policy of the European countries that experienced hostilities on their own territory took place in the conditions of a low level of funding, most of the planned instruments were not implemented, the documented goals regarding fertility (quite ambitious) were not achieved. The post-war fertility in the more economically successful Croatia, after the war-induced fluctuations and subsequent decline, stabilized at a higher level than in the poorer Bosnia and Herzegovina, although the pre-war situation was the opposite. The low level of family policy funding, low preschool enrollment rate, lack of significant childbirth payments, difficulties with the opportunities of mothers in the labour market, spread of gender stereotypes are characteristic of the considered countries. The development of family policy in the context of postwar recovery ultimately leads to attempts to develop a comprehensive ","PeriodicalId":210079,"journal":{"name":"Demography and social economy","volume":"77 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139440765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article analyzes four levels of institutionalization of social capital of territorial communities in Ukraine: group, stakeholder, intercommunity cooperation and international intercommunity cooperation. It is found that the group level of institutionalization is the least developed. At this level, the need to identify leaders and form networks of interaction based on common interests, which would significantly strengthen the potential for community self-sufficiency, remains unaddressed. The level of community stakeholders is poorly engaged, characterized by low activity of public-private partnerships. Significantly better results are observed at the level of intercommunity interaction, the functioning of which is ensured on the regulatory and financial plane through the established system of state funding for community infrastructure development projects, which were largely implemented on the basis of intercommunity cooperation. It has been established that international intercommunity cooperation is also developed. It intensified with the outbreak of full-scale war and was in many cases in-formal and humanitarian in nature. This experience may be useful in the future for the recovery of communities in the postwar period. The paper uses general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis to collect, process and systematize the results of scientific research; abstract-logical and critical analysis — to analyze the levels of institutionalization of social capital of territorial communities; statistical — to collect and systematize data; graphical-to visualize the results of the assessment of international and domestic, intra-Ukrainian, intercommunity cooperation; induction and deduction — to substantiate the main directions of institutionalization of the development of social capital of territorial communities. The main directions of institutionalization of the social capital of territorial communities as a prerequisite for the unification and mobilization of their internal development resources, which is a prerequisite for overcoming the risks caused by the war and the local government reform, are substantiated.

The theoretical basis for substantiating the management model as a whole is an interdisciplinary theoretical-methodological basis, founded on the fundamental tenets of the concepts of social protection, social justice, social involvement, as well as high-level management theories (governance theories). The hypothesis of the research, which became the reason for writing this article, was the assumption that the complexity and multidimensionality of the social sphere needs to be provided by an appropriate multidimensional model of management. It is this kind of multidimensional (or multi-subject) management, using modern innovative approaches, that seems to give advantages and increase the effectiveness of social programs. The purpose of this article is to develop methodological principles for building an innovative model of social program implementation, based on the principles of multi-subject management, aimed at achieving a balanced distribution of powers and responsibilities of interested subjects of various levels and their inclusive interaction. To substantiate the main theses and conclusions of the article, a complex of analytical methods was used, including synthesis and analysis of available sources of information, logical framework analysis of problems and their possible solutions, the method of comparisons and analogies for adapting existing experience to real conditions in Ukraine. As examples of successful implementation of social programs and projects based on multi-subject management, the experience of implementation of EU programs, as well as the relevant experience of some countries of North and South America, was used. The article offers the author’s interpretation of the essence of multi-subject management in the field of social protection and develops its basic three-dimensional model. The analysis of many sources of information made it possible to propose general innovative mechanisms for implementing the principles of multi-level management, namely those related to the information support of the management process. Based on the assessment of the current situation on the labor market of Ukraine, the prospects for its development, a set of expected problems that will need to be solved is formulated and a list of specific measures and mechanisms is proposed that will ensure the effective interaction of various management entities in the process of implementing support programs for the unemployed and individuals who are looking for work.

However, to ensure that the implementation of the Quality Family Village Program is successful, cooperation between all stakeholders is needed, including family planning village cadres, government officials, and the community. This study examines how the government apparatus synergizies with field-level officers. In order to find out how successful the implementation of KB Village is in districts / cities, it is necessary to evaluate and monitor the formation and implementation of Family Planning Village that are already underway in each district / city, whether the program has synergy in the field, which is the purpose of the article. This research is an evaluative study with data collection carried out through quantitative and qualitative approaches. This study was conducted using an evaluative method with a descriptive exploratory design to see the synergy of the success of KB Villages.

Moreover, the issue of remuneration in the public sector is the most urgent for the country, since the principles of its financing mainly at the expense of the budget, and the imperfection of its formation mechanisms are the reasons for the lack of correlation between the qualifications of employees and the level of remuneration, the increase in poverty among employees, and other negative consequences. The above prioritizes the substantiation of the theoretical and methodological tasks of reforming the system of public employees remuneration. The purpose of the article is to identify deficiencies in the remuneration of public sector employees in Ukraine and to improve the system and mechanisms of employee remuneration in the public sector. The research was carried out using the following methods: analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, analogies. An abstract-logical approach was used to formulate the conclusions. It is stated that at present three systems of wages financing exist in the country for employees whose wages are paid with funds from the state budget (on the basis of YeTS [unified pay rate system], on the basis of the provisions of special laws and decrees as well as the combined system existing in the healthcare as a result of its reformation) which may create additional risks as relates to limitations of wage levels and therefore increased shadow employment in the private sector. Negative factors in relation to wages at the government-financed organizations are determined, namely no correlation between wages of most employees in this sphere and their performance and quality of services which they provide, continuous decrease in wages, disproportions in wage levels of employees with the same qualifications which all lead to risks of qualified personnel outflow into other sectors of economy and further limitation of provided services’ quality in the longer run. Risk minimization tools are proposed for the specific risks in the government-financed organizations wages system which are based on optimization of existing network of state budget funds recipients (streamlining and improvement first and foremost of the network of educational and medical institutions financed by the state) and transition toward a semi-autonomous model (which will allow government-financed organizations and institutions to independently attract additional funding and spend it on their own needs which would stimulate further development) as well as awarding to the government-financed organizations and institutions the right to place currently unused funds at commercial banks which would generate an additional revenue.
