Abstract

The article presents the results of the assessment of the dynamics of the level of social and economic development of Ukraine in the conditions of globalization. It is substantiated that in the conditions of globalization, acceleration of international integration processes and strengthening interdependence of countries, the use of ratings as analytical tools in determining the comparative advantages of countries becomes increasingly relevant. It has been determined that, on the one hand, ratings are an important factor in shaping the image of Ukraine in the world, and with other important indicators for strategic investors and international partners. It has been established that the economic dimensions of the country's development remain its important components, but social trends are attracting the attention of researchers and are one of the criteria for assessing the effectiveness of state policy and its institutions. The monitoring of Ukraine's positions in the world’s major ratings has been monitored. The indices characterizing socio-economic development and competitiveness of Ukraine in comparison with other countries are analyzed in accordance with the estimations of the leading international institutions over the last five years. Identified the strengths and weaknesses of social and economic development, it has been established that the timeliness of identifying weak indicators, negative tendencies and problems gives a chance of social and economic improvement already in the short term. It is substantiated that the direction of possible changes is to reduce the distance of Ukraine from the indicators of the most developed countries. The obtained data on the dynamics of changes in the level of social and economic development may contribute to further scientific research for making informed decisions in order to identify the main problems of the success of Ukraine's state policy and its consistency.
