The article is devoted to the research of social perspectives of science and digital economy development in Ukraine. The main tasks set and resolved in the article were: to study the social advantages of the digital economy and science development, analysis of the negative effects of these processes and directions of their minimization, the proposal of social perspectives for the development of science and digital economics. During the research such methods of synthesis and analysis, comparison and systematization have been used. The article founds that the main social benefits of science and the digital economy development are related to the system of education, medicine and welfare of people. Negative aspects of these processes are technological unemployment, temporary uneven income of the population, changes in the regional structure of the factors of production placement, a significant gap between technology development of developed countries and developing countries. It is possible to minimize these negative consequences through the system of personnel retraining and small and medium-sized businesses development. The statistical indicators of the science development in Ukraine have been analyzed and the lagging behind the specific expenses for carrying out scientific researches in comparison with EU countries has been established. The main social perspectives for the science and the digital economy development are the introduction of an effective policy in the labor market focused on the latest technologies and innovations; mobility of workers; creation of clusters of knowledge intensive industries and universities; the use of social networks to form the country's brand and the development of common social values in society; introduction of the main directions of the European concept of digital science in Ukraine for increasing integration into the European scientific space; active participation in the Horizon 2020 program for joint Ukrainian-European projects. Prospects for further research in this area will reveal the influence of science on the development of the social economy in Ukraine and destruction factors. ; Статья посвящена исследованию социальных перспектив развития науки и цифровой экономики в Украине.

The article analyses the social approach to the concept of 'green' economy. The key features of sociology of the 'green' economy have been presented. The basic spheres, in which it is possible to trace the relationship between 'green' economy and social being, have been traced. The impact of the 'green' development on education, health, employment and population wellbeing has been explored. The main promising directions of enhancing the positive influence of the development of 'green' economy on the social sphere have been proposed.

The study of various aspects of social economy is stipulated by the fact that the focus of any economic system is the human being as the main object and the result of economic activity. The purpose of this paper is to cluster of social economies of the countries throughout the world with distinguishing the models of social economy for transition economies under globalization conditions. The results of research represent four clusters of social economy that prove validity of classification of 4 classic models of social economy: liberal, Scandinavian, corporatist, and Mediterranean. While the most developed countries have effective models of social economy, there is still no clear concept of social development for transition economies. This paper deals with social economy clustering of different countries with the view to determinate the place of transition economies in social metrics of global economy. Our study is limited to the number of countries – 40 countries of the world, mainly European, and timeframes – 2015 and 2016. The obtained results could be taken into account by governments when developing and implementing new social policy for transition economies considering the experience of countries with classical social models. The authors propose the main practical tools for transition social model. It is proposed to distinguish one more model of social economy – the transition model, typical for transition economies that implement social reforms and has some common features.

The development of the social economy contributes to the well-being of the population, which is one of the main tasks of any state. The existence of certain social problems in Ukraine requires an analysis of foreign practices of implementing social goals to increase living standards. In the context of European integration aspirations, such a state for Ukraine is the neighboring Poland. To address these issues, the positive experience of social economy development and employment in Poland is analyzed and the possibilities of its application in Ukraine are outlined. The practice of social economy in Poland is considered, Ukraine and Poland are compared on particular social indicators (number of social security institutions, unemployment rate, employment rate, average monthly wage, self-employment level), the directions of social development in Poland are outlined with emphasis on their possible application in Ukraine. Taxonomic methods for determining the social development of Poland and changes in the labor market of both countries are considered. The main determinants of the Polish model of social economy are highlighted: stable economic development, which contributes to raising living standards; low unemployment; developed social infrastructure; increase in average wages; developed private social security sector; labor market stability and its ability to adapt to new challenges. A number of problematic issues in the development of the social economy in Ukraine are highlighted, in particular, the low level of wages compared to neighboring European countries; high unemployment; low level of self-employment; high level of shadow economy. Based on the analysis of the positive experience of Poland, a number of possible directions of social economy development in Ukraine are outlined.

Trends in the global social development increasingly clearly demonstrate their relation to the processes of socialization of the global economy. Countries around the world are creating a global socio-economic space in the framework of integration and globalization. Global development of social economies in the world serves as the basis for further cooperation of the countries in addressing global problems and ensuring decent living standards of the population. It also applies to the countries with transition economies. The main problem of development of the process of economy socialization is its financial support, which makes the search for potential sources of financing more relative.The article's aim is to assess the source base of socialization of the economy of Ukraine as a country with transition economy with identification of strengths and weaknesses of financial security of social processes in the country.Method of investigation was the correlation-regression analysis of the source base of socialization of the Ukrainian economy with construction of a multifactor regression equation. The main result of the article is correlation-regression analysis that has found that the amount of income of the population is significantly affected by two indicators: financing of scientific and technical works and the amount of loans provided by the Ukrainian banks to the residents. In the article, it is proposed to stimulate the innovative activity through increasing the funding of scientific and technical works from different sources that can be practical recommendation to the government politics.

This study identifies global factors conditioning the global problematics of the direction of social development. Global threats were evaluated and defined as dangerous processes, phenomena, and situations that cause harm to health, safety, well-being, and the lives of all humanity, and require removal. The essence of global risks was defined. These risks were defined as events or conditions that may cause a significant negative effect for several countries or spheres within a strategic period if they occur. Global problems were conceptualized. These problems were defined as phenomena, matters, and situations that are not completely understandable, interesting, actual, require solving and regulation, and in addition do not have unified solutions. Current global challenges were analyzed, defined as strategic guidelines that cause transformational changes and are receiving attention from humanity. Global trends were defined as courses of social development. The composition and role of global actors were described, and defined as international organizations, leading states, regional organizations, powerful corporations, institutional investors, large cities, and well-known personalities. The directions of positive courses of social development were developed by means of using the authors' mechanism of solving the global problematics.

The year 2020 showed certain unpreparedness of the world's countries for the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the unpopular measures of closed borders and total quarantine. The leading social component that opposes a pandemic is the healthcare system. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to assess the ability of European countries to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cluster modeling was performed using the STATISTICA 7.0 package. As a result of modeling, the studied countries were divided into 4 clusters. The first cluster included nine countries. According to the smallest distance, the core countries in this cluster are Ireland and Bulgaria. The second cluster included seven European countries. The core country in this cluster is Sweden. Five of the studied countries were part of the third cluster. The core country in this cluster is Estonia. The fourth cluster included economically developed European countries with a Scandinavian social economy model and countries with a transitive social economy model. The core country in the fourth cluster is Germany. The recommendations for European countries can be introducing educational activities at the state level among the population on the importance of vaccination against COVID-19, increasing the staffing of the healthcare system, conducting the audit on the effectiveness of using public funds, and developing the medical infrastructure.
