The aim of the article is to analyze risks in the social sphere and their impact on the development of society in Ukraine. Increasing the impact of risks in the sphere of demography, employment, remuneration, etc. in the context of sustainable development has been determined. The conducted research shows that the risks related to the labor sphere and the health of the population are the most aggressive and dangerous for the safety (as shown by the coronavirus pandemic) because protracted problems in the political, social and economic spheres are accompanied by job losses, economic decline, low wages for more than half of the working population. In view of the ambiguity and uneven economic development of the administrative territorial units of Ukraine it has been determined that education and knowledge can become a factor that can lead to the activation of innovative changes and reduce the negative impact of social threats. For this reason, the most important requirement for the sustainable development of Ukraine is the formulation of a social policy, based on an effective system of methods aimed at preventing risks and reducing probability of their occurrence.

The article analyzes the structure of energy resources, as a result of which the reasons for their irrational use in the Ukrainian economy are revealed. It has been established that during 2014–2018 there was a decrease in demand for traditional types of fuel and energy resources (FER), except...

. The article analyzes the uneven economic growth in the regions of Ukraine and proposes the development of regional policy based on the use of the smart specialization idea. As a tool for analyzing the uneven economic development of regions, we used a method based on the comparison of regions by gross regional product per capita, which formed the basis for determining the funnel of backwardness of the region among others in terms of economic growth. The analysis was conducted for 2010 and 2020. The calculations made it possible to identify areas that differ significantly in development potential. It is proposed to use the ideas of the smart specialization concept as a new model of the Ukraine’s regions economic development in order to equalize interregional disparities. Revealed the essence of this concept implementation on the example of the Carpathian region economy in 2020 is revealed. It is determined that the formation of educational, tourist and construction clusters in the region are the foundations that will form a long-term strategy for its development. The main measures for the introduction of construction and educational clusters are proposed. The components that determine the innovative development of Ukraine on the basis of the Global Indices of Competitiveness and Innovation are analyzed. Proposed the formation of economic policy, which is aimed at solving strategic tasks of the regions socio-economic development - ensuring economic growth and quality of life in Ukraine. It is justified that the application of the smart specialization approach in long-term regional strategies will contribute to a synergistic effect for both human and innovative development, which is the goal of the new regional economic policy. To solvethe tasks used general and special research methods, namely: theoretical generalization to clarify the essence of smart specialization), statistical, comparative, comparative and strategic analysis (to calculate and build the dynamics of GRP per capita by region of Ukraine), graphical (for a visual representation of the results of the analysis). In addition, the visualization method was used to build the algorithm for forming the regional policy of Ukraine.

The purpose of the article is to justify the use of a matrix approach to the interpretation of the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the development of labor potential. As evaluation indicators, we propose the level of management of labor potential, which is determined using the grapho-analytical method “potential square” and the level of management of the competitiveness of the business entity, which is determined using the graphic method “polygon of competitiveness”. To identify these indicators, we used a developed three-point aggregated scale, which made it possible to quantitatively divide the formed quadrants according to threshold values: the zone of high efficiency in the use of labor potential (quadrant 9(MLLPQPHigh; MLCBECBHigh)), average (quadrants 3 (MLLPQPHigh; MLCBEC-BLow), 5 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBAverage), 6 (MLLPQPHigh; MLCBECBAverage), 7 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBECBHigh), 8 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBHigh)), and low (quadrants 1 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBECBLow), 2 (MLLPQPAverage; MLCBECBLow), 4 (MLLPQPLow; MLCBECBAverage)). The value of the research lies in the fact that the proposed matrix approach to the results of evaluating the effectiveness of the development of labor potential makes it possible to take measures to improve its management. It is emphasized that in today’s conditions and the limitation of financial resources, the vector of management should be aimed at preserving

The article presents the key problems of the logistics management of the quality of the transport process in the construction industry. Characterized by the influence transport services quality on the efficiency of production and commercial activate enterprise. The main indicators of quality of transportation are summarized: qualitative indicators; indicators assessing the effect of transportation of construction materials in due time; indicators characterizing loss of product during transportation. The technological scheme of goods transportation by the means of transport (with quality control of the transport process) is presented. The directions of quality assurance of transport provision are offered: formation of material and technical basis of transport; creation of preconditions for efficient use of transport; improvement of organizational and economic mechanism of transport-logistic systems functioning. The allowed limits of different types use transport on the criterion of productivity or cost of transportation are offered. It was established that the essential reserve for improving the efficiency of transport and technological processes in construction (along with increasing the throughput and improving the quality of machines operation) is to: improve transport equipment of transport complexes; application of the newest technologies of transport processes; the use of effective ways to manage transport robots. The basic reserve of reduction of specific energy consumption on motor transport is determined. The main ways of reducing specific fuel consumption during transportation are given. The main directions of rolling stock fuel economy are increase formulated. The measures of loading and unloading works of labor-intensity execution reduction are substantiated.

This work focuses on the fact that the realities of today’s Ukrainian economy require not only recovery but also an increase in the volume of production of products produced by energy-intensive enterprises in the industry to the pre-crisis level, which stimulated the following: an increase in...
