ASSESSMENT AND WAYS TO IMPROVE THE RESILIENCE OF UKRAINIAN SOCIETY

Abstract

The article examines the problems of assessing and ensuring the resilience potential of society in Ukraine and other countries. The need to ensure the resilience potential of countries so as to withstand crises and shocks of various origins, which lead to economic stagnation or decline, justifies the relevance of this research area. The purpose of the article is to assess and identify areas for ensuring the resilience potential of society and its spheres in the countries of the world and Ukraine. The novelty of the results obtained in the study lies in the development of scientific and methodological approach to assessing the resilience potential of society and its spheres and substantiating the factors of its increase. The study uses the following methods: general scientific (comparison and generalisation, analysis and synthesis) and special (integral assessment, cluster analysis, correlation analysis, cognitive modelling). The article clarifies the essence of the concept of ‘society’s resilience’ and proposes a scientific and methodological approach to assessing the resilience potential of society and its spheres (social, political, economic, environmental), based on a set of indicators presented in international indices and rankings characterising the relevant spheres. Based on the study, it is determined that Ukraine ranks 43rd among the 48 countries studied in terms of the integral indicator of resilience potential. The study also clusters these countries according to comprehensive indicators of the resilience potential of the spheres of society and builds a cognitive model of the mutual influence of indicators for assessing the resilience potential of the spheres of society. It is substantiated that in order to increase the resilience potential of Ukrainian society, it is necessary first of all to ensure the rule of law and the effectiveness of public administration in the country.
