Dynamics of integrated indicators of the level of sustainability of the economy of Ukraine and agricultural com-plex in Ukraine

Abstract

Introduction. The current stage of socio-economic development demonstrates a change in worldview based on envi-ronmental and at the same time humanistic ethics. Accordingly, the assessment of the real state of the national economy, the development of effective state economic policy requires consideration not only of purely economic factors. The study of sus-tainable economic development on the basis of statistical indicators specified in macroeconomic, regional and sectoral indica-tors of ecological and economic development and quality of life indicators makes it possible to outline areas of sustainability, boundaries, which are a "corridor" of acceptable deviations from the unambiguous trajectory. The purpose of the article is to develop methodological principles for integrated assessment of the level of sustainability of economic development of Ukraine's economy and its agro-industrial sector. Results. The author's complex approach to estimating the level of sus-tainability in the territorial-sectoral context is proposed, which is based on the calculation of integrated indicators of eco-nomic, social, ecological, infrastructural blocks on the basis of rationing of initial indicators taking into account their stimu-lating and disincentive character by the arithmetic mean. Indicators of the economic block of sustainability of national level development are presented. The dynamics of integrated indicators of the sustainability level of Ukrainian economy and the agro-industrial complex in Ukraine is highlighted. The theoretical and applied value of the use of the author's method of assessing the level of sustainability in the agro-industrial complex is realized in the identification of "bottlenecks" in com-pliance with the conditions of sustainable development of this sector, which is objectified in the factor of ensuring the envi-ronmental friendliness of production. It is established that the development of the agro-industrial sector within the strategy of predominance of extensive factors, the dominance of economic determinants of functioning was reflected in the neglect of environmental parameters. Keywords: sustainable development, level of economy sustainability, level of sustainability of agro-industrial com-plex, integrated assessment of sustainability level.
