STATISTICAL ASSESSMENT AND INFORMATION SUPPORT FOR ANALYSIS QUALITY OF LIFE OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN UKRAINE: PROBLEMS AND MODERN DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of analyzing the quality of life of people with disabilities in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to carry out an objective assessment of the quality of life of persons with disabilities, taking into account the existing information support. Proposals are formed for full-fledged surveys of this category of persons in Ukraine, taking into account the subjective assessment. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of sufficient information support in Ukraine, both at the regional and national level. The analysis of persons with disabilities is carried out based on the available database of the State Statistical Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, State Employment Center and the Fund for Social Protection of the Disabled. The paper analyzes the dynamics of the number and structure of the causes of disability, access to educational services and the level of employment of people with disabilities. The level of provision of persons with disabilities with durable goods that ensure their functioning in society is partially analyzed. The impact factors on the level of employment of people with disabilities are identified. The classical regression method with the help of Statistica software package is used to determine the impact of factors on the level of employment of persons with disabilities. Іt was found that the variation of employment of people with disabilities by 28 % depends on their access to higher education, in particular, the access of people with disabilities to higher education of full cycle of study has a greater impact on the level of employment. The results of the study showed that in Ukraine there is no comprehensive approach to the study of the socioeconomic profile of persons with disabilities, which does not allow the formation of effective social policy. The paper proposes an author’s approach to the subjective assessment of the quality of life of people with disabilities and formulates proposals for assessing all aspects that form the quality of their life.
