The object of the research is human-oriented economy. The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the development of human-centered economy through its gradual complication. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the development of an hierarchy of objectively necessary human needs will provide a basis for identifying the structure of a new economic system with targets focused on gradual development of each economic entity and the economy as a whole. The study applies the methods of content analysis and the «Final information flow» method. The author first performs identification and cognition of qualitative characteristics of human-oriented economy based on the «Finite information flow» method using such parameters as logical level, logical limit and transformability. He then formulates the logical levels of human-centered economy development on the basis of human needs allocation, determines the presence of diverse structures within the framework of a human-centered economy, and presents human-oriented economy as a object gradually becoming more complex. The practical and theoretical findings of the study prove that the comprehension of human-centered economy through «Final information flow» method may serve as a basis for further research aimed at building a scientifically grounded theory of the phenomenon under study.

Relevance. Human needs have been the focus of attention of scientists for a long period of time. At the same time, the realization is now coming that the consumption of goods and services leads to overconsumption, which is in no way connected with the objectively necessary human needs. Within the framework of this study, the needs and the possibility of their full satisfaction lie in the «plane» of the economy, the focus of which should be on the person. Accordingly, the task of studying the process of satisfying objectively necessary needs in a human-oriented economy is being actualized. The purpose is to determine the process of interaction between the components of a human-oriented economy in the process of satisfying objectively necessary human needs. Objectives: to form a basic chain of interacting elements in a human-oriented economy in the process of meeting human needs; to determine the levels of satisfaction of human needs; to identify directions for assessing the result of the functioning of a human-oriented economy. Methodology. For the study, the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: content analysis, a universal scheme of interaction. Results. A model has been developed to meet the needs in a human-oriented economy; a universal scheme of interaction of elements in a human-oriented economy has been formed through the process of satisfying human needs as a result of the interaction of human, material, information resources within the framework of the production of goods; three levels of satisfaction of needs are identified: basic, minimum, maximum; the necessity of applying feedback (through subjective and objective assessment) within the framework of the model of satisfying needs in a human-oriented economy is indicated. Conclusions. The obtained results of the study reveal the directions of work in the future: subjective assessment of the degree of satisfaction of the needs of the population through a survey; an objective assessment of the development of key areas of a human-centered economy through the processing of statistical information. The practical value of the work is the results of the study can serve as a basis for the development of a set of measures, management mechanisms aimed at the formation and development of the basic spheres of a human-oriented economy and the economy as a whole.
