ОЦІНКА РОЗВИТКУ ПРОДУКТИВНИХ СИЛ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The article substantiates the paramount role of the country's productive forces in realizing the potential of social production, which is determined by people's productive experience, their diligence, activity and ability to work. The indicators of the level of development of the productive forces of Ukraine over the past 20 years are considered. It is emphasized that the development of the productive forces of Ukraine, first of all, is constrained by low indicators of activity of the fuel and energy complex. According to official statistics in Ukraine, there is a decline in production of all the most important energy resources. The fuel and energy complex is the most powerful interindustry complex, from the development of which the dynamics, scales and technical and economic indicators of production largely depend. The article examines the dynamics of the number of enterprises in Ukraine and emphasizes the destabilizing role of their reduction, as well as the weak policy of import substitution in the development of Ukraine's productive forces. Negative dynamics of sport of goods, which is celebrated in recent years, also acts as a deterrent to the development of the productive forces of Ukraine. The necessity of preserving the transit potential of Ukraine as a guarantor of the development of the productive forces is actualized in the article. However, the transit potential of Ukraine is currently used less than half. The work stresses the problem of protracted demographic crisis. The modern demographic crisis is characterized by a huge quantitative decrease in the population against the background of a significant deterioration in its health, a decline in the quality indicators of intellectual development. One of the main reasons for the lack of positive trends in the development of Ukraine's productive forces is the lack of a strategy for the development of productive forces in the context of Ukraine's overall development strategy. It is summarized that the development of the productive forces of Ukraine is characterized by the absence of positive facts and trends. It is necessary to develop practical recommendations on the way out of the protracted critical state.
