The system and structural approach was used in the study, which led to functional and effective application of theoretical provisions, scientific principles and conceptual positions for developing the author’s version of forming higher educational establishments’ holistic approach based model of social efficiency of research. For the assessment of social efficiency of research, a holistic approach based theoretical and analytical model has been suggested, which integrates 4 subsystems: target, provision, regulatory, management subsystem, which can be assessed by parameters, indicators and criteria of social efficiency of research results. The authors have suggested a system of criteria of social efficiency of research results. On the basis of the elaborated system of criteria assessment of social efficiency of research results of higher educational establishments, the authors have constructed a structural and logical scheme of social efficiency of research results assessment, which shows that on each stage of social efficiency of research results development by means of comparison of the market needs and opportunities of higher educational establishments and rational distribution of endowment funds it is possible to achieve maximization of the social efficiency of research results generalized criterion value. A formal description of the main components of the constructed theoretical-analytical model of the social efficiency of research has been made by means of using the economic and mathematical model and the dependence of its components has been analyzed

Financial support for the competitiveness of employees in the mining industry

The development of a socially oriented market economy in Ukraine, the effective implementation of reforms in this direction and the improvement of the well-being of the population is not possible without qualitative financial support for the competitiveness of workers, above all, in the mining industry.

Therefore, the urgent issues at the current stage of development of Ukraine's mining industry are determining the conditions and opportunities for increasing the competitiveness of employees in this industry. Scientific novelty of the results is to identify, substantiate and analyze the main stages of financial support for the competitiveness of workers in the mining industry under the conditions of a changing vector of the country’s foreign economic policy and of market for products of this industry.
