Management aspects of socio-economic development of the state in the context of european integration

Abstract

Problem setting. On the way to the realization of Ukraine’s European integration aspirations, there are many unresolved problems related to the improper implementation of reforms that slow down the processes of economic development and social security of the population. Ukraine needs proper governmental guidelines, capable of promoting proper socio-economic development of society with the help of methods adopted in the civilized world.Recent research and publications analysis. Features of public administration in the field of socio-economic development are the subject of research by many scholars. In particular, it is necessary to mention such scientists as A. Antonenko, D. Babych, V. Bazylevych, V. Besedin, N. Voronina, V. Geiets, Z. Gerasymchuk, B. Danylyshyn, V. Kutsenko, I. Mikhasyuk, V. Myagkyi, Y. Pakhomov, O. Panukhnyk, V. Savchenko, M. Sokolov and others. These researchers study issues related to public administration and the formation of effective public policy in the field of socio-economic development, focus on the need to implement government functions with maximum effect.Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. Despite the large number of publications on the peculiarities of economic and social development of the state and public administration of these processes, there is still a need for in-depth scientific research related to the implementation of European integration aspirations of the Ukrainian state. Ukraine’s intention to be a full member of the European Union requires radical transformational changes in the field of socio-economic development and increasing the efficiency of the state’s implementation of its management functions.Paper main body. The fundamental legal framework of Ukraine provides grounds for talking about the close relationship and harmonious combination of social and economic development and determines the overall strategic course of public policy as a whole. Based on this, it is safe to say that the outcome of the functioning of economic entities in the economy of Ukraine directly depends on what are the management actions of public authorities authorized to regulate, coordinate, evaluate and control the actions of these entities and affect the welfare of life population as a whole. Thus, the state performs its functions in all spheres of socio-economic life of the country.Effective economic policy of the state directly affects the social development and well-being of citizens. Increasing the level of welfare, social protection, ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all citizens, the right to property, work and earnings, decent social security, education, health care, etc. are the result of effective management of economic processes in the country. Accordingly, it makes it possible to implement such basic tasks of social policy as improving the quality of life of the population; increasing its employment; providing an opportunity for every citizen to realize his potential to meet his needs for the development of his personality; improving the remuneration of employees in all areas; ensuring the availability of a sufficient number of social infrastructure facilities in the state.Standards of socio-economic development in Ukraine differ from their counterparts in developed European countries. Given the European integration aspirations of the Ukrainian state, it is necessary to ensure continuous and effective transformational transformations that affect this area, and to improve the institutional support of this process, which would correspond to the basic principles, standards and norms of the European Union.At present, it is difficult to talk about the adequacy of public administration actions in the field of socio-economic development of the Ukrainian state, which would meet European standards. Evidence of this is the inefficiency of public finance management, incomplete decentralization transformations, imperfection of regulatory and legal support of processes in the economic and social spheres. Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Socio-economic development of the Ukrainian state has sufficient legal support, but to implement the European integration vector of Ukraine it is necessary to provide a number of tasks: to develop an effective mechanism on the basis of which will systematically and purposefully implement the strategy of socio-economic development; to unify institutional support in the field of development and implementation of strategic plans in the field of socio-economic development; to form new and improve existing approaches to the development of strategic plans for the short, medium and long term at the national and regional levels; to provide a system of monitoring and control over the implementation of those tasks that are set in the implementation of the strategy of socio-economic development; to determine the criteria for analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented measures within the strategy of socio-economic development, which will allow to assess the degree of achievement of the strategic goal. An integrated approach to the implementation of these tasks will allow to take the socio-economic development of Ukraine to a qualitatively new level and to increase the welfare of the population as a whole.
