Non-Balanced Human Development: Global Determinants and Challenges for Ukraine
Journal Title: Демографія та соціальна економіка - Year 2014, Vol 22, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to classification of new types of the so-called non-balanced human development, which are characterized by high rates of human development index with some remaining negative phenomena. Such negative factors include: high unemployment and income inequality, insecurity, non-sustainability of development, losses in cultural diversity, lack of democracy and human rights protection, negative demographic trends and distortion in population composition, dependence of development on the external resources. The empirical evidence of non-balanced human development is outlined for the most developed regions with specification of the extreme parameters of selected indicators of assessment. Ukraine’s potential risks of non-balanced development are estimated based on the proposed classification to identify the basic challenges faced by the country in the modern world.
