GENDER ANALYSIS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF RUSSIA’S ARMED AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE

Abstract

Аnnotation. The article is devoted to the study of the application of gender analysis in the management of social development in the conditions of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. It was substantiated that gender analysis should be more widely applied outside the political decisionmaking process. Further development took place using the “3 P method” for the analysis of problems and features of public management of social development in the conditions of war was further developed. This allows us to consider gender analysis as a tool for managing social development in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It was revealed that the horizontal gender segregation of labor inherent in Ukraine has deepened since the 1990s, and after the evacuation/emigration of girls and women in the course of large-scale Russian aggression, it led to regressive social development. This is confirmed by the temporary suspension of the work of most authorities in the field of social protection, state/municipal institutions, structures in the social sphere, the closure of a significant number of medical institutions, pharmacies, the deterioration of the quality/reduction of the number of social services. It was established that in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the horizontal gender segregation of labor in the social sphere created threats to the direct public management of social development. Under extraordinary conditions, the importance of horizontal communicative interaction, communicative management in the social sphere of society has increased. It has been proven that the Russian-Ukrainian war made it impossible to reproduce and improve human capital, and worsened the quality of health of the Ukrainian population. The murders of civilians by the aggressor country, the significant excess mortality of men in reproductive age, the consequences of sexual violence against women and girls by Russians in the occupied territories undermine the public health system, threaten the loss of the reproductive potential of the Ukrainian nation. It was found that the deliberate destruction of civilian objects (especially social infrastructure) by shelling from Russia worsened the financial situation of all Ukrainian citizens, but to a greater extent women. It is suggested, that the priority direction of social development management should be state management of public health protection after the war.
