Abstract
The purpose of the publication is to summarize the practice of quantitative assessment of the current state and trends in the change of social capital of national economy (SCNE) of Ukraine on the basis of the use of the index system, which comprehensively take into account numerous aspects of its functioning as a basic factor in ensuring stable competitiveness of the national economy (NE), high level of human development, key conditions for prosperity and well-being of all segments of the population. The results of the benchmarking of indices and analysis of the actual level of SCNE are based on data about the factors of current level of the national economy’s formation for individual countries in the process of ensuring in the strategic perspective the UN Sustainable Development Goals – Measuring Social Capital (SC) for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). For SCNE of Ukraine is inherent in the simultaneous deep commitment of the domestic community to the values of survival (at the level of Russia, Moldova, Romania, Albania, Bulgaria) in combination with a high level of confession of secular rational values (at the level of Lithuania, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark). Based on the above data, Ukraine has a low level of direct interpersonal social trust (the level of distrust/caution in relations practically exceeds it three times) combined with a low level of trust in political institutions. The necessary information for the assessment of the environment and the general level of development of SCNE of Ukraine is contained in the already mentioned international indices, which in their aggregate comprehensively characterize the subject of our research.

Structural measurement, as envisaged by the purpose and logic of the research, describes the existence of social connections between different institutional actors of the national economy and their characteristics, social representation, interpretation, system of values and codes, language shared by participants of social networks (CN) and which are most difficult to operate, because they relate to the general cultural context (Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998; Baklanova, Petrova, Koval, 2020)
Summary
The SCNE, as a set of structured socio-economic relations, is based on mutually recognized informal institutions: norms and values, the observance of which ensures the growth of personal productivity of members of formed social networks, effective coordination and cooperation of individual actions for mutual benefit, manifested in the optimization of costs from the specification of property rights, their effective transformation, intensification of the level of interaction by minimizing the value of market transactions. The basic model of regulation of micro level’s SC involves the use of means of authoritarian influence on the formation and strengthening of the structural, cognitive and relational component of egocentric social networks. Sector (representatives of central executive bodies and local self-government), as well as stakeholders of the public sphere of mixed national economy with the separation of the structural and cognitive components in the functioning of social exclusive (bonding) social capital is a microeconomic social network of closely and strongly related individuals of egocentric homogeneous groups, which are formed in order to maximize the relief of the lives of community members in the everyday sense (“getting by life”) (Rui, Covert, Stefanone & Mukherjee, 2014). Inclusive (supporting) SC is a mesoeconomic social network of remote individuals, poorly connected through, at the same time, more significant than family, business ties between members of autogenic groups, which is used to advance in life (“getting ahead”), organizing a channel of “social elevator”
