Social Resilience of the Ukrainian Economy for Post-war Recovery, Solidarization and Sustainable Development
摘要
The resilience concept is indispensable for achieving the SDGs by 2030 under the current global turbulence. Multidimensional resilience is vital for Ukraine to withstand large-scale military shocks. The purpose of our study is to clarify the role of social resilience of the Ukrainian economy in its post-war reconstruction, solidarization and future sustainable development. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach. A conceptual model is proposed for the social resilience of the Ukrainian economy, based on three pillars: employment and labor potential; solvent consumer demand; social support for the population. The results of the research revealed the most significant societal risks for post-war Ukraine as: (1) further deepening of the acute demographic crisis; (2) a significant increase in poverty; (3) differentiation of the social environment as a result of mass forced displacement of citizens; (4) a significant number undeclared weapons in the country; (5) lack of an effective adaptation of war veterans to civilian life. A necessary step for the national government is the implementation of a state policy aimed at minimizing the specified social risks, which will ultimately contribute to the strengthening of the Food–Energy–Water–Social–Environmental nexus and the strengthening of Ukrainian societal resilience.
