Shortage Of Funds Research Articles

Does the University Have a Future?

Although this article examines the problems facing modern universities such as their loss of independence and shortage of funding, similar problems faced universities throughout the 20th century. The focus is on the post-war generation, the creation of new universities and the political and economic changes that were brought about by Thatcherism. In the growth period between 1945 and the 1970s, many working-class children gained social mobility through the expansion of the university sector. This period also attracted large numbers of exiles from Europe. The contemporary demographic challenge to universities in terms of the shrinkage of the population of eligible students is critical. Universities have responded by recruiting primarily Chinese and Indian students. This challenge joins other modern problems: bureaucracy, managerialism, rising costs, the loss of academic independence, stagnant wages, declining opportunities and the threat of AI. Can we imagine and build the post-university? Is the cafe as a meeting place a possible model of a global online intellectual hub?

The stability of the treasury system as a result of treasury risk management

Relevance. The fundamentals of control activities are based on effective risk management. The main burden on the internal control system is aimed at ensuring compliance by the audit subject with regulatory and legislative acts governing the activities of treasury bodies, timely detection and prevention of treasury risks in order to implement the necessary preventive measures aimed at minimizing the likelihood of the occurrence of negative consequences associated with them for the activities of the department.The purpose of the study is to assess the stability of the treasury system as a result of treasury risk management.Objectives: consideration of theoretical and organizational and legal aspects of budget execution, assessment of the treasury system, determination of areas for improving treasury control as a factor in operational efficiency in managing the budget process at the regional level.Methodology. The authors used general scientific methods of research, vertical and horizontal analysis, comparison, summary and grouping, generalization of scientific practice, forecasting.Results. The conducted research allowed to form and highlight the following scientific results: to determine the role of treasury bodies in the system of state financial control at the regional level, to conduct a general analysis of the activities of the Federal Treasury Department in the Kursk Region and to analyze the treasury execution of the budget of the Kursk Region, to identify risks for the treasury system when introducing the digital ruble.Conclusions. Control is the main procedure of the treasury system of budget execution. Cash servicing of budget execution involves the implementation and accounting of cash transactions on income and expenses and sources of financing deficits. The Federal Treasury Department in the Kursk Region plays an important role in the financial system of the region and contributes to sustainable development. The use of a risk-oriented approach by treasury bodies involves the selection of objects of external control of entities of audit activity based on the analysis of the risks of their activities, the application of international audit standards, which is aimed at reducing the audit time, reducing duplicate control functions, forming a unified management paradigm of public management applied in related control and supervisory bodies in the financial and budgetary sphere of Russia.

The Priority Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in Underdeveloped Mountain Regions

ABSTRACTAt the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development implementation, over half of the targets remain unmet due to insufficient government funding and tradeoffs among the sustainable development goals (SDGs) globally. The shortage of government funding and tradeoff between goals is a major bottleneck affecting SDGs realization. Underdeveloped mountain areas face multiple challenges such as weak infrastructure, shortage of human capital, and slow economic development, which may hinder achieving the goal of “No one left behind.” In underdeveloped mountain regions with limited financial input for sustainable development, prioritizing the SDGs through research can optimize government funding efficiency, promoting synergies between goals and reducing tradeoffs, and accelerate progress toward local SDGs. Lincang city is a typical underdeveloped mountainous region; thus, the cost‐benefit maximization criterion, correlation analysis, cluster analysis, and progress evaluation are adopted to propose priorities for advancing the SDGs in three stages: 2010–2015, 2016–2020, and 2010–2020. The findings reveal that the environmental and social dimension goals in underdeveloped regions have made positive progress, while the economic dimension goals are relatively lagging behind. Economic goals take precedence over environmental and social goals in underdeveloped regions. The specific order of priority is as follows: SDGs 9, 7, 11, 15, 4, 17, 12, 13, 16, 1, 6, 3, 8, 2, 10, and 5. Through developing green economies such as organic agriculture, clean energy, and eco‐tourism, the ecological environment advantage is transformed into an economic development driving force, and enhancing institutional support and implementation is crucial for promoting sustainable development in underdeveloped mountainous areas.

Exploring the preparedness of hospital pharmacists practising in Southwest London for implementing pharmacogenomics testing.

Pharmacogenomics (PG), the study of how genetic variations impact individual responses to drugs, has seen significant advancements globally in recent years. Hospital pharmacists play a crucial role in multi-disciplinary teams and understanding their preparedness to deliver PG services is essential for successful integration into the healthcare systems. This study evaluates their knowledge, training and seeks their views on PG testing implementation. A cross-sectional study was conducted on hospital pharmacists practising in Southwest London with the sample size determined as 137. The study was ethically approved. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was initially piloted, then distributed using emails with a link to Microsoft Form over a three-month period. It comprised 31 questions covering training levels, confidence, knowledge, perceptions, barriers to implementation and demographics. A total of 46 responses were received achieving a response rate of 33.6%. The study revealed that 65% of participants had limited familiarity or understanding of PG. Over 50% indicated not receiving previous undergraduate or postgraduate training relevant to PG and accordingly their responses to the PG knowledge questions were lacking. Pharmacists with postgraduate training demonstrated better awareness and knowledge. An overwhelming number of participants envisaged carving a role for themselves favouring those that would complement their expertise in medicine management such as recommending appropriate treatment and dosages and suggestions based on PG testing results. Barriers identified were mostly concerning financial cost and shortage of trained staff to support PG services. Most surveyed pharmacists were not prepared to deliver PG services and thus require tailored training; nonetheless, they exhibited a positive attitude towards PG suggesting a willingness to bridge learning gaps. This presents an opportunity for relevant organisations to provide necessary training and for universities to enhance the curriculum enabling pharmacists to be involved in PG implementation.

Introducing conditional expected loss: A novel metric for risk investment analysis

Risk analysis is crucial in real asset investment projects. However, existing risk measures like VaR (value at risk) and CVaR (conditional value at risk) may not fully capture potential losses in such scenarios. Consequently, the current literature lacks an indicator that accurately estimates the expected value in the event of financial insufficiency. To fill this gap, this article introduces the conditional expected loss (CEL) metric, a novel approach that estimates the average loss expected in the event of financial deficits within an investment project and provides extensive numerical modeling and a detailed real-world example. This novel metric enhances risk analysis and decision making, particularly evaluating financial insufficiency within projects with limited managerial flexibility and a higher likelihood of financial deficits. By incorporating CEL alongside other risk and return metrics, practitioners gain a more comprehensive understanding of project risks, ultimately leading to better investment choices.

Monetary Policy Reactions and Deficit Financing in Nigeria

The study used secondary data which was obtained from the World Bank development indicators and Central Bank Statistical Bulletin between 1981—2022. The Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) was adopted for regression analysis, the variables adopted as independent variables are Domestic debt financing, foreign debt financing, External Reserves, and Exchange rate while real gross domestic product (RGDP) is the dependent variable. The study revealed that both Exchange rate and foreign debt financing have no significant effect to economic growth in Nigeria while Domestic debt financing and external reserves have a significant effect to economic growth. The study therefore concluded that domestic debt financing and external reserves have an unstable effect in the economy (asymmetric effect), this is due to inconsistency in its application in the country. From the research undertaken, we recommend that domestic debt should be channeled into economic activities that will stimulate growth and increase productivity. There should be a deliberate attempt to monitor the usage of domestic debt to avoid capital flight. The government should put a stop on foreign debt financing because it doesn’t have an effect on the nation’s economy. There should be a deliberate plan to increase the external reserves since it serves as the critical channel of financing developmental programmes and augment deficits in most cases.

Development of Waqf through the Blue Ocean Strategy for Prosperity in Malaysia

Waqf is a significant tool in Islamic philanthropy, designed to enhance societal welfare. This Islamic wealth mechanism has proven its strength in the past, particularly in fortifying Islamic communities’ economic and social fabric while also functioning as a driver for economic advancement. However, in modern days, there are challenges in effectively managing and utilising waqf assets for maximum benefit. The Blue Ocean Strategy is a revolutionary business strategy and a global method initiative that combines creativity and innovation in business planning and operations to charter undiscovered markets. This notion provides a systematic and imaginative way to deliver significant value while keeping costs low. The initiative is applicable for implementing waqf development financing methods as part of the government’s strategy to tackle the shortage of funds for waqf land development. This strategy is also known for its innovative approach to creating non-competitive market spaces, providing opportunities to revitalise the waqf sector by identifying new avenues for development and sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how waqf development through the Blue Ocean Strategy for prosperity in Malaysia can be implemented. Experts’ views on the potential implementation of this strategy in waqf development for prosperity in Malaysia were identified. Data was collected through interviews with experts identified as informants who are actively engaged in waqf management and directly accountable for waqf matters. The content analysis method was used to analyse the data obtained. This study found that waqf and the Blue Ocean Strategy can be combined to maximise benefits to society and the country. Integrating both strategies facilitates the development of waqf assets, resulting in multiple benefits that assist in the nation’s sustainable development and the realisation of shared prosperity.

Navigating Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Contemporary Perspectives and Future Trajectories in the Canadian Context.

Objective: This article equips Canadian urologists with the latest advancements in focal therapy (FT) principles and outcomes while providing an overview of its current landscape in Canada, including challenges and future directions. Methods: We conducted a nonsystematic review of the literature on FT in urology and prostate cancer (PCa), focusing on Canadian-led studies. Articles were identified using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar and selected based on relevance and originality. The final search was completed in April 2024. A survey was also conducted among Canadian urologists and radiologists practicing FT. It covered their experiences, access to technology, implementation challenges, and reimbursement policies. Data were collected via video calls, phone calls, or email, and responses were reported anonymously. Results: Fourteen Canadian urologists and radiologists performing FT were contacted, and 12 participated in this study. Despite the increasing adoption of FT by Canadian urologists, nationwide implementation remains limited due to financial constraints and resource shortages. This has restricted the availability of FT for Canadian men with PCa compared with their American and European counterparts. Only two provinces-Saskatchewan and Alberta-currently have billing codes for FT, forcing patients elsewhere to either join clinical trials or pay out of pocket. To close this care gap, equitable health care coverage and integration of FT into standard treatment options are essential. Conclusion: The quality of research in FT is showing promising improvements, with several clinical trials currently underway that may pave the way for broader acceptance within clinical guidelines by multiple urological societies. Although Canada has been slower to adopt FT compared with other parts of the world, Canadian urologists continue to advocate for provincial health care coverage to ensure that this innovative technology becomes accessible to Canadian patients.

Evaluating the Economic Efficiency of Crop Production in the Floodplain During the Dry Season in Chulkiri District, Kampong Chhnang Province

Purpose of the study: This study aims to assess the status of crop production and evaluate the costs, benefits, opportunities, and challenges along Tonle Sap Lake during the dry season. Methodology: Data were collected from 47 farmers, 10 vendors, and four local authorities through random interviews followed by questionnaires. The cost-benefit ratio, net present value (NPV), and sensitivity analyses were conducted, assuming a 9% cost overrun and a 5% yield decrease for analysis data. Main Findings: The study found, that farmers employ crop rotation and expertise from nearby farmers to grow beans, corn, sweet chilli, and melon from December to August. Floodplain crop production is moderately profitable, despite a 10% increase in total costs, with labor, irrigation, fertilizer, weeding, and pesticides being the high expenses. Challenges such as labor scarcity, financial literacy deficits, pest management issues, falling crop values, climate variability, and insufficient seed storage further complicate floodplain agriculture. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research explores floodplain farming's financial efficiency, and sustainability, utilizing cost-benefit analysis, sensitivity analysis, and qualitative evaluations to address Cambodia's unique agricultural challenges in the floodplain area.

Advancements and Challenges in the Management of Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: A Review

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is the medical term used to describe a focus of infection involving a valvular substitute within the heart. It is a significant concern in the field of cardiology, and the epidemiology of PVE has seen notable developments over the last five decades. The disease currently affects an older demographic and is becoming increasingly prevalent in patients with transcatheter-implanted valves. It is imperative that we urgently address the significant challenges posed by PVE. It is a disease that has a wide range of potential aetiologies, clinical presentations, and courses. In developed countries, Staphylococcus aureus is now the predominant causative organism, resulting in an aggressive form of disease that frequently afflicts vulnerable or elderly populations. However, it is clear that Enterococcus species present a significant challenge in the context of PVE following TAVR procedures, given their elevated prevalence. The 2023 Duke/International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases infective endocarditis diagnostic criteria now include significant developments in microbiological and image-based techniques for diagnostic purposes, specifically the incorporation of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography. These developments unequivocally enhance the diagnostic sensitivity for PVE, while maintaining the specificity. They do so in accordance with the results of studies conducted specifically for the purpose of validation. The lack of rigorous scientific studies and a shortage of funding and resources for research have led to a significant gap in our understanding. Randomized controlled trials could provide invaluable insight and guidance for clinical practice, but they are missing, which represents a major gap. It is clear that there is an urgent need for more research. PVE is a life-threatening condition that must be handled by a multidisciplinary endocarditis team at a cardiac centre in order to improve outcomes. The emergence of innovative surgical techniques has empowered clinicians to steer more patients away from surgical procedures, despite the presence of clear indications for them. A select group of patients can now complete parenteral or oral antimicrobial treatment at home. Additionally, antibiotic prophylaxis is the best option for individuals with prosthetic valves who are going to have invasive dental procedures. These individuals should be given antibiotics beforehand.

Stakeholder perceptions of mangrove ecosystem services across scales of conservation focus.

Conservation faces a chronic shortage of resources, including time, funding, mental capacity, and human capital. Efforts to make the expenditure of these resources more efficient should, therefore, support more equitable and effective conservation prioritization. To achieve this, it is necessary to ensure the integration of the knowledge and perceptions of local stakeholders into larger scale conservation decisions. We used fuzzy cognitive mental modeling to assess the perceptions of mangroves and the prioritization of ecosystem services across 3 groups of stakeholders: representatives from 3 coastal Fijian villages, the national office of an international nongovernmental organization (NGO), and the US office of that same NGO. We found different topologies and valuations among the resultant mental models, with the US NGO office having the most terms. However, when comparing models from local villages with the US NGO office, scale-dependent perceptions shifted, including the relative devaluation of locally important cultural valuations of mangroves. Despite these variations in perceptions, however, 3 key components of the mental models-women's livelihoods, men's livelihoods, and fisheries supplementation-all appeared as consistently important in multiple models, suggesting areas around which potential collaboration among stakeholders could be forged. By focusing on system-wide, rather than stakeholder-specific, optimal solutions within the system, new opportunities for collaboration may emerge. In doing so, these system-wide solutions may increase efficiency and collaboration. Moreover, we found that boundary-spanning organizations, such as the national-level conservation organizations, played a role in facilitating information transfer and mediating conservation goals in a culturally appropriate fashion. Finally, although the specific example used here is mangrove conservation, our methodologies and findings are broadly applicable across a variety of conservation scenarios.

Military censorship in Russia in 1914‒1918: structure, features of work, documentary legacy

The relevance of the research topic is related to the continuing problems of control and access to information in the modern information society.The purpose of the study is to provide a systematic understanding of military censorship in Russia in 1914-1918 in the context of the development of the late Imperial state mechanism. Objectives analysis of the structure, activities, and personnel of military censorship in Russia during the First World War; concentration of currently available information on documents of military censorship stored in various Russian and foreign archives.Methodology. The historical and typological method was used to analyze the structure and functions of military censorship, and the historical and genetic method was used to study its development during the First World War. The study of the personnel, the peculiarities of the work of different areas of censorship was carried out using the historical and comparative method.Results. The paper analyzes the legislative framework, structure and directions of military censorship in Russia during the First World War. It is shown that military censorship was a complex, multi-level structure that had no unity of command and included representatives of different, sometimes conflicting departments. These features led to the «scattering» of the documentary heritage of the military censorship authorities in numerous collections of Russian and foreign archives.Conclusions. The complexity of the structure of military censorship created numerous difficulties in the practice of censorship control. The chronic disadvantages of Russian censorship during the First world war years were contradictory decisions, inconsistency and insufficient elaboration of the regulatory framework, which often led to the use of military censorship for purely political purposes (for example, to censor speeches by opposition Duma deputies). The problems of military censorship were aggravated by a chronic shortage of funding, shortage and high turn-over of personnel. As a result, instead of becoming an effective tool in the hands of the government, military censor-ship became one of the factors of the political crisis in Russia on the eve of the Russian revolution.

Complete streets meet fragmented policies: Sidewalks in 30 U.S. cities

This article contributes a qualitative analysis of the sidewalk policies of the 30 most populous cities in the United States, using a social-ecological framework to relate sidewalk policies to health outcomes. The study identifies barriers to achieving walkability and equity and opportunities for future improvement with a structured review of sidewalk ownership, planning, assessment, and financing and synthesis of common motivations for existing approaches. The cities studied have Complete Streets and Vision Zero policies, both of which prioritize pedestrian infrastructure, yet the sidewalk policies which could operationalize those goals assign responsibility to the abutting property owner in 77 % of cities. Only three cities - San Francisco, Denver, and Austin - have “equitable” policies. Widespread shortfalls in funding for sidewalk projects often undermine equity goals, regardless of policy. While sidewalk networks are required to meet walkability goals, policies largely take a patchwork approach. Thinking of sidewalk infrastructure as separate from the abutting private property offers an opportunity to realize additional funding sources and institutional capacity and, along with State and Federal support, an opportunity for sidewalk policies and networks which better support ambitious municipal goals.

The role of NGOs and humanitarian organizations in enhancing surgical capacity in Africa: lessons learned and future directions-a narrative review.

Significant inequities exist in surgical care accessibility across marginalized African communities. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian groups are vital in supporting Africa's surgical infrastructure. This narrative review explores the current status of surgical care in Africa, highlighting NGO initiatives, past challenges, and future opportunities. A narrative review was conducted using PubMed/Medline, ScienceDirect, and other relevant organizational websites. Over 90% of patients in Africa lack access to proper surgical care due to funding shortages, inadequate resources, and a lack of skilled personnel. NGOs have addressed these gaps through successful initiatives, including fundraising and training, although past failures emphasize the need for clearer objectives and sustainable strategies. Future efforts should prioritize addressing cultural sensitivities, setting realistic goals, and leveraging telemedicine. NGOs and humanitarian organizations will remain critical to improving surgical care for underserved populations in Africa.

Characteristics of financial capital flow circulation and the risk transmission effect in China

Financial capital is an important force driving China's economic modernisation. Examining the characteristics of financial capital flow circulation across sectors and risk transmission laws is crucial in guiding financial market operations and deepening financial system reforms. This study establishes a 2011–2020 China matrix that includes capital fund flow statements for non-financial corporations, financial institutions, the general government, households, and foreign sources and examines changes in capital flow circulation by developing a financial flow multiplier system model to measure the direct and indirect transmission effects of capital flows between sectors from the perspective of liabilities. Results show that China's overall scale of financial capital flows has increased, but fluctuations have emerged in the last decade. The sectors' financing structure has changed significantly, with financial institutions remaining the primary capital inflow and outflow sectors of the financial market; however, the proportion of liability and investment in the household sector has increased, resulting in increased risk transmission. Moreover, the sectoral fund surpluses and shortages are highly volatile and uncertain, with non-financial enterprises serving as the primary drivers of real-economy investment. The capital flow from financial services to the real economy shows a fluctuating growth trend, primarily flowing to non-financial corporations; however, the proportion exhibits a downwards trend. Finally, we find that the flow transmission relationship between different sectors and financial transactions in the financial market is complex, with both direct and indirect risk transmission effects between sectors. Changes of financial institutions' liabilities significantly affect the liabilities and investments of other sectors.

DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE ON THE PLATFORM OF INNOVATIVE BIOECONOMY

Ukraine's economy is in a state of crisis caused by the war. The agricultural sector in extreme conditions is trying to fulfill its function of ensuring the food security of the state, supporting its export potential despite limited resources and logistical problems. Agrarian science in the conditions of budget funding deficit is trying to find ways to use the scientific and experimental base, developed varieties and technologies to promote the stabilization and revival of agro-industrial production in the industry and regions. Effective models of implementing the innovative potential of agrarian science on a business basis are necessary.The purpose of the study is to justify the platform of market adaptation of science to crisis conditions and the mobilization of scientific potential in the breakthrough directions of the development of the agrarian sphere on the basis of innovative bioeconomy and close cooperation between science and business.To realize the set goal, the work assessed the possibilities of integrating science and business on the platform of innovative bioeconomy in the crisis economic and legal conditions of Ukraine; the bio-ecosystem of the platform and its operational mechanism of the partnership of science and business for the implementation of joint innovation and investment projects are substantiated. For the introduction of a well-founded bioecosystem, a set of measures is proposed for the formation of a platform in the system of agrarian science on the basis of conducted tests and adopted organizational decisions based on the example of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. Cooperation between agricultural science and business on the basis of the proposed public-private partnership platform ensures the mobilization of scientific potential to solve pressing issues of innovative development of agricultural production, rural areas through the creation and transfer of breakthrough and supporting bioinnovations, the production of competitive innovative agro-food products.

Study on Digital Transformation Strategy of Small and medium-sized Enterprises in China

The digital wave has swept the world and the industrial change has accelerated. As an important part of the national economy, small and medium-sized enterprises must conform to the trend of The Times and seek digital transformation and high-quality development. This paper deeply analyzes the internal and external environment of small and medium-sized enterprises digital transformation and examines the issues and challenges posed by their digital transformation. At last, some transformation strategies are put forward. It is found that the key factors restricting the high-quality development of small and medium-sized enterprises are the shortage of funds, the lack of talent, the lack of technical ability, and the backward management system. To solve the problems, it is urgent to strengthen the construction of financing channels, improve the talent training mechanism, enhance the ability of technological innovation, and promote management innovation and upgrading, to promote the high-quality development of medium-sized enterprises.

Navigating vaccine procurement and financing challenges in Cameroon: Insights and recommendations from a mixed-methods study (2015–2020)

ObjectivesVaccine stockouts at the national level has been recognized as a critical challenge in ensuring sustained and equitable immunization coverage. These stockouts often arise from inherent issues within countries, including delays in government funding, suboptimal forecasting and stock management practices, and inefficiencies in the procurement process amongst others. Understanding the complexities and barriers within vaccine procurement and financing systems is crucial for developing effective strategies to enhance vaccine availability and strengthen immunization programs. This is particularly relevant in the context of reaching zero dose children and transitioning from Gavi. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the vaccine procurement and financing landscape in Cameroon from 2015 to 2020. Study designThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study. MethodsEmploying a mixed-methods approach, we conducted a desk review of pertinent documents and engaged in in-depth interviews with key stakeholders involved in the procurement and funding mobilization processes. Through data collection and analysis using Microsoft Excel 365 and Dedoose software, we delineated the intricacies of the procurement process and pinpointed specific barriers that have contributed to vaccine stockouts. ResultsThe mapping of vaccine procurement processes revealed complexity, protracted timelines, and the involvement of multiple stakeholders. The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) faced a USD 4 million funding deficit for vaccine procurement between 2016 and 2019. Consequently, the program experienced delays in acquiring 20 million vaccine doses, leading to 41 months of stockout for at least one antigen. Major bottlenecks identified by key stakeholders in vaccine procurement and financing encompassed delayed fund mobilization, inefficient and lengthy processes for fund mobilization and disbursement, poor data utilization, and discrepancies between forecasted, allocated, and mobilized funds. ConclusionThe findings of this research hold significant implications for many EPIs. By elucidating procurement and financing challenges, we can formulate evidence-based recommendations aimed at optimizing resource allocation, streamlining procurement processes, and bolstering vaccine availability. These insights are essential for fostering collaboration between government agencies, technical partners, and financial partners to achieve sustainable vaccine access in Cameroon. Establishing a joint procurement working group could streamline processes, potentially reducing stockouts and improving vaccine coverage.

Pension reform in Ukraine

The pension system is an important area that ensures the stability of any society. In the conditions of a full-scale invasion of russia into Ukraine, in accordance with the essence of the solidarity pension system, there is an increase in deep disparities between the available number of persons who need pension protection and persons who have to form this protection with their contributions. The aim of the research is to evaluate the pension system of Ukraine under the conditions of martial law and to substantiate the directions for its improvement. The hypothesis was tested that the level of financial stability of the pension system affects the countryʼs ability to maintain social justice and the effectiveness of state regulation of human potential. In this research it was used a systematic and logical approach; method of theoretical generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis, scientific abstraction. A feature of the pension system in Ukraine is the functioning of the first and third levels of the system, while the second is in a state of reform (does not work). The foundation of pension protection is the solidarity pension system, which suffered the most negative impact from the military operations on the territory of Ukraine. It is substantiated that today the Ukrainian and European pension systems have similar problems, which allows us to generalize the acquired experience and use advanced measures to improve the pension protection of Ukrainian citizens. Given the factors of the pension fund deficit and existing disproportions between the working population and pensioners, the following main approaches to the develop­ment of pension provision in Ukraine are proposed, such as comprehensive support for the development of non-state pension funds, the introduction of accumulative pension insurance; taking into account the European experience – the formation of an additional fund to the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) to ensure a fair pension in the future. It is assumed that the use of European experience in the process of pension reform, taking into account the state of war in the country (which has no time frame for ending) will make it possible to harmonize the existing stratification between the working population and pensioners
