Abstract. Introduction. The current stage of functioning of the world economic system is characterized by the desire to ensure sustainable development, the essence of which lies in the unity of economic, social and environmental components. The most important tool for its implementation at the level of enterprises, companies, firms is the concept of corporate social responsibility. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence and analyze the main directions of introducing social responsibility of the domestic agricultural business, as well as the system of objective and subjective factors that influence it. Results. The features of the implementation of the social responsibility system in the domestic agricultural business as an important component of the further development of agricultural production have been investigated. The necessity of activating the social orientation of the agricultural business in connection with the insufficient development of the social sphere of the village and the presence of significant social problems in rural areas has been determined. The essence of social responsibility of business as a voluntary contribution of entrepreneurial structures in solving problems of social, economic and environmental spheres, which is carried out outside the regulatory requirements, has been substantiated. The need to implement an effective management system using modern innovative tools has been pointed out. It has been proven that most agricultural enterprises focus their activities on ensuring decent working conditions for personnel, cooperation with local communities, and solving environmental problems. The directions of implementation of social responsibility of agricultural companies in Ukraine have been shown. The structure and volumes of social investment of the leading agricultural holdings have been characterized. New ways of doing agribusiness and promising areas of social responsibility in the internal and external environment have been formulated. Conclusions. Expanding the scale and improving the mechanisms of social responsibility, increasing the level of motivation and interest of agribusiness to improve the quality of life of rural residents and the development of rural areas will contribute to the intensification of production and social infrastructure. Ultimately, all this will reveal a significant positive impact on the socio-economic development of the regions and the country as a whole.

Community leaders of rural areas characterized by low-income and surplus labor seeking ways to promote rural development, frequently encourage new firms to process the primary products of the region. In a rural state such as Oklahoma, which is a large producer and exporter of agricultural products, interest is often focused on industries which process these goods. Impact multipliers are often used to measure income and employment impacts created from processing primary products.

Characteristic Features

Rural areas, defined as land outside towns, except industrial areas, account for over 93% of the area of Poland. They are attractive as a places of work, residence, leisure, as well as places where agricultural and non-agricultural business activities can be conducted. Agriculture is naturally associated with rural areas. Currently, apart from the agricultural function and (depending on the socioeconomic, natural or historical conditions) rural areas are also places of leisure, recreation, residence or industrial activities. This is a consequence of implementation of the concept of multi-functional development of rural areas, in which conditions are created for diverse business activities, while respecting environmental constraints. Such a multifunctional approach must take into account the interests of all parties to avoid spatial conflicts. Therefore, actions aimed at the development of rural areas should be based on an in-depth analysis of the value of the area under consideration, they should take into account natural conditions (soil, climate, terrain) of the land for conducting agricultural activities, but also take into account environmental, social and economic aspects. Objective and historical conditions affecting agriculture in Poland and the experience gained so far indicate that there is a need to change the spatial arrangement of agricultural areas. This is because of the characteristic features of agriculture in Poland, which include a disadvantageous structure of farms in terms of their area, small size of farms, insufficient technical infrastructure in villages and difficult soil conditions. Rural areas in Poland, including agriculture, are undergoing deep structural changes in regard to agricultural production, but also to farm size and layout, demographic and spatial structures as well as technical and social infrastructure. The changes taking place in rural areas in Poland are greatly affected by the Common Agricultural Policy in the European Union. As a member of the EU, Poland has been receiving aid since 2004 and has been implementing actions within Rural Development Programmes. The aim of this paper is to analyse the transformations that have been taking place in rural areas in Poland and to present selected factors and causes of the changes in rural spaces.

В условиях экономического кризиса и ухудшения макроэкономической ситуации возникают проблемы текущего финансирования социальной сферы и снижения уровня обеспеченности объектами общественной инфраструктуры. Приоритет отдается вводу в эксплуатацию дошкольных образовательных учреждений, в то время как вводу физкультурно-оздоровительных комплексов в РБ практически не уделяется внимание. Потребность в строительстве и вводе в эксплуатацию объектов социальной сферы растет, в то время как выделение финансовых средств на данные цели сокращается, что представляет собой большую проблему и требует привлечения дополнительных источников финансирования. Также ряд проблем имеется в сфере здравоохранения и в отношении развития инфраструктуры сельских территорий. Автор приходит к выводу, что институт ГЧП в Республике Башкортостан находится на стадии развития. Государство пока ориентируется на крупные проекты, а менее капиталоемким проектам не уделяется должного внимания. Подобная безынициативность говорит о необходимости притока высококвалифицированных кадров, понимания сущности и значимости партнерства. In the conditions of economic crisis and deterioration of macroeconomic situation, there are problems of current financing of social sphere and decrease in level of provision with objects of public infrastructure. Priority is given to the commissioning of pre-school educational institutions, while the commissioning of sports and recreation complexes in the Republic of Belarus is almost not paid attention. The need for construction and commissioning of social facilities is growing, while the allocation of funds for these purposes is reduced, which is a big problem and requires additional sources of funding. Also, there are a number of problems in the health sector and in relation to the development of infrastructure in rural areas. The author comes to the conclusion that the PPP Institute in the Republic of Bashkortostan is at the stage of development. The state is still focused on large projects, and less capital-intensive projects are not given due attention. Such lack of initiative indicates the need for an influx of highly qualified personnel, understanding the nature and importance of partnership.

The essence of the developing human capital in rural areas is to provide each enterprise in the industry with qualified personnel and efficient and rational use of human labor. The purpose of this study is to highlight the features of the formation of human capital in various forms of organization of agricultural business. The methodological basis of the research is the works of domestic and foreign scientists on the formation and development of human capital, including its formation in rural areas. The information base of the study was the data of the Federal State Statistics Service and the Department of Agroindustrial Complex of the Kurgan Region. In the course of the study, the methods of scientific generalization and grouping were used, as well as methods of statistical analysis, comparison, which make it possible to carry out the necessary statistical data processing, their interpretation and drawing conclusions arising from the study. The author revealed that formation and use of human resources in the agricultural enterprises of the Trans-Urals is extremely uneven. Large disparities are reflected not only in the quantitative, but also in the qualitative state of the available human capital, as well as in the level of its use. Thus, a large share of those employed in agricultural production is occupied by people of pre-retirement age. Working-age workers in rural areas, as well as young people, are mainly not satisfied with working conditions, low wages and underdeveloped rural infrastructure. The solution to the problem of the outflow of the rural population of the Trans-Urals lies only in changing the named parameters, but also in stimulating various forms of management by providing subsidies, concessional lending, state support, and implementing a program for the financial recovery of agricultural producers, which will contribute to increasing the efficiency of agricultural production.

Because of the almost-instant connection with the welfare and well-being of individuals, pharmaceutical industry stands prominently as a very important factor for the improvement and progress of a healthy productive nation. These days, pharmaceutical industry thrives as one of the largest and exponentially expanding global industries. Nonetheless, millions of people in low income developing countries, have to suffer from the fatal consequences of the inaccessibility and non-availability of essential drugs. This is also happening in Yemen, where the pharmaceutical manufacturers sector have to face up to many challenges. The Yemen Drug Company (YEDCO) was founded in 1964 by the Yemeni government as it collaborated with private investors. It was endorsed as a company with the expertise in the medicinal drug marketing. YEDCO started its work by taking in drugs from foreign companies and then locally marketing and distributing them. In 1982, YEDCO built the first medicinal factory for drugs in Sana’a. Since then, seven companies were set up to manufacture medicines in Yemen. The expanding population has led to the need to have more pharmaceutical products. It may be understandable that pharmaceutical manufacturer companies are also hit by the political crisis in the country. Inadequate amount of fuel and raw material as well as low security status were some of the underlying factors behind these ill-effects in Yemen. Imported drugs make up about nearly 90% % of the pharmaceutical market compared to 10% drugs from the domestic market. This situation has led to an additional burden being shouldered by the national economy, where Yemen spends about US$263 million annually on pharmaceutical drugs, in reference to the national Supreme Drugs Authority. Although there is a very quick growth in the population and drugs consumption, the pharmaceutical industry has not been very active, where global pharmaceutical products play their role dominantly on the domestic market. The pharmaceutical production necessitates skilled human resources like university graduates. By contrast, the government and the private sector should also motivate the pharmaceutical industry and make use of the local employment

The tendencies of state regulation of the labor potential of rural territories are revealed, which prove the lack of effective mechanisms of its reproduction. Mechanisms to increase the efficiency of state regulation of the labor potential on rural areas, aimed primarily at creating jobs and the number of people employed in the segment of small and medium-sized business are proposed. Thanks to public-private partnership in this area, it is possible to reduce budget expenditures on the development of social infrastructure.

According to Romania’s National Rural Development Programme, the socio-economic situation of the rural environment has a large number of weaknesses – among which low access to financial resources for small entrepreneurs and new business initiatives in rural areas and poorly developed entrepreneurial culture, characterized by a lack of basic managerial knowledge – but also a large number of opportunities – among which access of the rural population to lifelong learning and entrepreneurial skills development programmes and entrepreneurs’ access to financial instruments. The population in rural areas depends mainly on agricultural activities which give them subsistence living conditions. The gap between rural and urban areas is due to low income levels and employment rates, hence the need to obtain additional income for the population employed in subsistence and semi-subsistence farming, especially in the context of the depopulation trend. At the same time, the need to stimulate entrepreneurship in rural areas is high and is at a resonance with the need to increase the potential of rural communities from the perspective of landscape, culture, traditional activities and local resources. A solution could be to turn vegetal and / or animal farms into social farms – farms on which people with disabilities (but also adolescents and young people with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicide, and alexithymia issues) might find a “foster” family, bed and meals in a natural, healthy environment, and share the farm’s activities with the farmer and the farmer’s family: “committing to a regular day / days and times for a mutually agreed period involves complying with any required health and safety practices (including use of protective clothing and equipment), engaging socially with the farm family members and other people working on and around the farm, and taking on tasks which would include working on the land, taking care of animals, or helping out with maintenance and other physical work”
