MECHANISMS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION FOR OVERCOMING POVERTY AND IMPROVING THE STANDARD OF LIVING IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The methods used by public administration to combat poverty and improve the quality of life for Ukrainians are thoroughly examined in this article. Standard of living is the most significant social category, which is one of the primary features of poverty as a social phenomenon. Its foundations include the consumer basket and the subsistence minimum; property potential as viewed through the lens of resource security; the poverty scale, which takes into account the efficacy of state social policy; and the poverty culture and subculture as markers of the poor's disconnection from societal norms and values. It is shown how crucial elements of public administration formation are to enhancing the channels of communication between the government and the populace.

It would most effectively support the growth of civil society. Furthermore, the theory of public administration views people as active participants in this administration when it comes to reducing poverty and improving the standard of living for the populace. In the practical dimension, it is explained that the tactics, initiatives, and resources employed by state authorities, local self-government entities, and public sector organizations to address the issue of poverty in society serve as public management tools for overcoming poverty.

The goal of these mechanisms is to improve the social and economic circumstances of the most vulnerable segments of society. Thus, they necessitate the collaboration of civil society, local self-government, and the state government. It was observed that the state should not take a disorganized approach to lowering or eliminating poverty. It must be targeted, intentional, and ideally preventive in order to enable the implementation of numerous projects and programs that will most effectively combat poverty. At the same time, the state's focus on creating favorable conditions for socially conscious businesses can and should be a key component of its strategy to combat poverty. The creation of mechanisms for the active interaction of state authorities, local self-government bodies, civil society, socially conscious business, and the scientific community is described as a crucial component of public administration in terms of eradicating poverty and improving the standard of living in post-war Ukrainian society.

Each of them is aimed at restoring the country’s economic potential, infrastructure on the affected territories, the creation of new jobs and effective social security mechanisms for the most vulnerable sections of the population.
