Towards a Resilient Industrial Recovery of Ukraine: a Study of Regional Systems in Wartime

Keywords: recovery, industrial economy, industry, industrial policy at the regional level; sustainable development, skilled labor, Ukraine's recovery

Abstract

This article develops an analytical approach to building a system for sustainable industrial recovery and attracting skilled labor to the regional economy even during wartime. The goal of the article is to analytically justify the development vector of the industrial sectors of regions and identify internal reserves, "growth points" of the industrial potential of Ukrainian regions as the basis for regenerative processes during martial law and after combat operations. The author notes that a key element in the process of forming a system for sustainable industrial recovery is the understanding of the presence of internal resources, factors that facilitate their effective use, and the determination of the vector for building the industrial recovery system of regions based on them. This requires a broad scientific view of this extraordinary problem and, consequently, a comprehensive analytical approach. Such an approach would combine both the analysis of the current state of industrial facilities and the determination of the need for personnel and resources for modernization, taking into account both local resources and internal factors, including the length of logistic chains, the presence of demand for products, and technological innovations. Currently, it is possible to observe both the dynamism of regenerative processes and scientific "gaps" in the principles of systems analysis in organizing and managing the recovery of the industry, which would be related to the recovery processes in the industrial sector of Ukraine today. The article reveals "growth points" for revising the system of sustainable industrial recovery during martial law and after Victory as a prerequisite for post-war recovery and sustainable development of regions, which is a basic condition for searching and implementing ways to optimally use available resources, overcoming technological gaps, and creating conditions for the return of skilled migrants to Ukraine.
