Resource productivity in an economy of regions: analysis of foreign experience

The objective of writing the article is to research existing foreign experience in the field of resource productivity, methods of its assessment in developed countries, in particular in the European Union and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development members, and the possibility of implementing such experience in Ukraine. The article highlights the main methodical approaches to measuring resource productivity in the countries of the European Union and the OECD. The dynamics of resource productivity in comparison with GDP and DMC in the EU in 2000-2021 were studied. The productivity of resources in the EU in 2021 was analysed in terms of member states, and countries were grouped according to the level of the specified indicator. According to the methodology used in the EU and OECD, the calculation and analysis of resource productivity in Ukraine and the L’viv region in 2017-2020 was carried out

RURAL REALITIES IN UKRAINE – SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS

Ukraine’ rural area is confronted with many social and economic problems, which have remained unsolved for decades, thus creating a significant gap between the rural area development and the conditions present in the densely populated areas. The development of rural territories is a difficult task, as it requires larger investments, which at the same time turn to be less efficient because of the lower population density. Yet, rural territories cover most of the land and host a large percentage of the population and therefore an active policy aimed at improving life quality and at creating equal opportunities for the rural and urban residents is a must.rural territories, rural development, agriculture, Ukraine.

Migration from Ukraine to EU Member States in the years 2014–2023

Problematyka migracji staje się bardzo istotnym wyzwaniem, z którą mierzą się kraje o różnym rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym. Stopień w jakim sobie radzą z tym problemem zależy od wielu czynników. Rozważania w artykule koncentrują się na trzech jej przekrojach: migracji z Ukrainy po 2014, migracji uchodźców wojennych oraz migracji z Ukrainy w wymiarze przestrzennym związanym z pograniczem polsko-ukraińskim. Praca powstała na podstawie studiów literaturowych i analizy danych statystycznych. Hipoteza pracy opiera się na stwierdzeniu, szczególnej roli otoczenia instytucjonalnego, makroekonomicznych czynników jako kryteriów warunkujących migrację z Ukrainy w analizowanym okresie. Głównymi celami zaprezentowanej analizy są ukazanie skali zjawiska w różnych okresach i przekrojach regionalnych oraz różnic w skali atrakcyjności regionów i stopnia przygotowania rynku pracy do absorbcji siły roboczej w przekroju Unii Europejskiej. Zaprezentowane analizy są zrealizowane w ramach projektu Challenges for the labour market in counties in the Polish-Ukrainian borderland with regard to the influx of war refugees from Ukraine. Assessment of the situation, conclusions for Polish regions, entrepreneurs, and county labour offices.The issue of migration is now a very important challenge faced by countries with different socio-economic development. The degree to which they cope with this problem depends on many factors. The considerations in the article focus on three cross-sections: migration from Ukraine after 2014 and the migration of war refugees particularly as it pertains to the Polish-Ukrainian border. The work is based on literature studies and analysis of statistical data. The hypothesis is based on discovering the special role played by the institutional environment as well as macroeconomic factors as criteria determining migration from Ukraine in the analysed period of 2014–2023. The main objectives of this analysis are to present the scale of the phenomenon in different periods and regional sections, as well as how regions differ in terms of their attractiveness and the degree to which their labour markets are prepared for the absorption of labour in the European Union. The presented analyses are run within the project NAWA project entitled Challenges for the labour market in counties in the Polish-Ukrainian borderland with regard to the influx of war refugees from Ukraine.
