DIFFERENTIATION OF INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE DURING THE WAR AND POST-WAR PERIOD

Abstract

The article highlights the main problems of inequality in the distribution of income of the population, which is an inherent feature of a market economy, which in turn increases the dynamism of the labor market and is a stimulus for economic growth in the country. Characteristic signs of differentiation arise under the influence of various factors that have an economic, demographic or political essence. The main economic factors in modern realities can be considered: peculiarities of the functioning of the labor market, the level of development of the industry or a separate region of the country, as well as factors of demand, supply and distribution. Conducting an active and regulatory policy in the field of income distribution by the state makes it possible to avoid significant inequality. The problem of inequality of income distribution is one of the oldest and leads to social tension in society, therefore it requires detailed study and development of regulatory measures. Analysis and assessment of income inequality is carried out using various approaches and methodologies. They are aimed at the precise definition and development of effective measures that can be used to control the level of inequality and poverty. The growth rates of the population's income achieved in Ukraine give reason for only limited optimism, because compared to developed foreign countries, they are meager, and a significant part of the country's population is below the poverty line. Therefore, current realities dictate the need to deepen scientific research on the identification of negative socio-economic phenomena and the development of fundamentally new measures aimed at increasing incomes and reducing their differentiation.
