Abstract

The authors considered in this article the current state and tendencies of development of the transport branch of Ukraine. The analysis was conducted using an innovative methodological approach in terms of all major modes of transport for the period 2013-2019. The main negative and positive trends in the transport sector have been identified, in particular the decrease in the number of employees and the growth of the Gross Domestic Product produced by the transport enterprises of Ukraine. The main negative trend is the predominant loss of transport enterprises of Ukraine, which negatively affects the sustainability of the transport industry. The authors identify the types of transport enterprises that make the greatest contribution to the efficiency of the transport industry, in particular the enterprises of pipeline, railway and air transport. Also the general tendencies of the sizes of the enterprises on number of working for various types of the transport enterprises are established. Conclusions are made on the peculiarities of the scale of enterprises in the transport industry by type of transportation. For example, road transport enterprises are mostly small, airlines are medium-sized, and rail and pipeline enterprises are large. The authors determined that all types of transportation in the transport sector of Ukraine are economically unstable, except for water transport enterprises. Conclusions are made on the overall economic stability of the transport sector of Ukraine in 2013-2019. The general economic instability of the transport industry and the tendencies which are inherent in them as a whole are cross-cutting and are inherent in all separate types of transportations. In the period from 2013-2019 there is a gradual growth of gross domestic product created in the transport sector. Since 2015, there has been a tendency to increase sectoral GDP. At the same time, there is a tendency to reduce the number of employees in transport enterprises during the same period. Analysis of the state of Ukraine's transport industry shows that there are many negative trends that may affect its sustainability, including fluctuations in the number of employees in the industry, the number of enterprises and a decrease in all traffic. Оne of the reasons for this is that everyone decisions are made by managers without taking into account the views of subordinates, there is a large differentiation in the amount of salaries of managers and subordinates, which is the cause of differences in the values and goals of managers and staff.
