POVERTY OF THE WORKING POPULATION IS THE DRAMATIC REALITY OF UKRAINE’S PRESENT LIFE

Abstract

The extremely sharp topical problem such as the chronic poverty of the working population is analyzed. The international community recognizes and respects only those public structures, where the manifestations of a marginalization of the society are absent, the aspiration for the self affirmation and the civilizational development is demonstrated, and the population is able to protect the basic economic interests and national priorities. The constitutional requirement as for the transformation of Ukraine into a social state has not been realized, despite the available potential possibility. Conversely, the policy of “social nominalism”, which generates the cynical exploitation of the able bodied population and creates the preconditions of hereditary poverty, has been realized already traditionally. According to the objective laws of a market economy, namely the solvent mass demand is a defining “driver” for a real economy. Some measures concerning the introduction of methods and real mechanisms of enhancement of the solvent demand and the purchasing capacity of the working population into the reality are proposed . Only such correction of the economic policy will guarantee a real priority development of the national production, rather than a declarative one.
