Gallup World Poll

Subjective well-being (SWB) is positively related to helping others, but so far research has not explored the association of individual aspects of well-being with prosocial behavior across the world. We used a representative sample (N = 1,433,078) from the Gallup World Poll (GWP) to explore the relationship between each aspect of well-being and prosocial behavior. We explored these associations between and within 161 countries. We found that different aspects of SWB are not equally associated with prosocial behavior: While life satisfaction and positive affect consistently predicted being more prosocial, negative affect did not consistently predict being less prosocial. Our findings underline the importance of studying the effects of the different components of SWB separately, indicating that, across the globe, it is satisfaction and positive emotions—not the lack of negative emotions—that are associated with being prosocial.

In the conditions of deepening of transformational processes of development and formation of market relations in the system of world economy all branches of economy of Ukraine undergo significant transformations and reorientation. Under the influence of internal and external factors, the market environment changes. Despite the great resource potential, Ukraine fails to gain a leading position compared to economically developed countries. Therefore, it is advisable to study the current state of Ukraine's economy, analyze the dynamics of key indicators, assess the place in the world economy and find possible ways to improve the situation. As a result of the study, the main indicators characterizing the economic development of Ukraine for 2010-2020 were considered. Among them, the index of global competitiveness, the index of investment attractiveness occupy a special place. The analysis of the dynamics of these indicators revealed negative trends due to the aggravation of economic crises, hostilities in the east, the annexation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, destabilization of social and political life, the COVID-19 pandemic. It is determined that the main reason for this situation is the bankruptcy of domestic enterprises due to the low level of competitiveness and the inability to adapt to changing conditions of the external and internal environment and attract investment. The study proposed methodological approaches to assessing the level of investment attractiveness of the country and proved the importance of the ability not only to create new competitive advantages, but also to keep existing ones under the influence of a number of factors; Ukraine's ranking positions in comparison with other countries of the world according to the index of business conditions, the index of economic freedom, the index of global competitiveness, world competitiveness and world digital competitiveness are determined. It is established that the deterioration of rating places on these indicators requires the immediate development of new regulations, the choice of a new strategy for attracting investment, as well as the effective use of levers of influence on the economy.

Gender Characteristics

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of gender characteristics of social mobility in the power structures of Russia and other countries. By “peculiarity” we mean the fact of the possibility and the very presence of women in power structures in comparison with men. Among the “other countries”, this article primarily examines the leading economies of the world, and also provides interesting examples of gender characteristics of social mobility in the BRICS countries and developing countries. Within the framework of Russia, not only those power structures that are federal, but also those that govern the regions are analyzed and compared. Gender frames are considered in the article not only in the international and domestic Russian context, but also in the historical paradigm. So the first part of the article is devoted to the historical stages of the development of the women's movement in Russia and in the world. Considering the concept of Pitirim Sorokin about the sources of vertical social mobility in certain territories, the article tells about the solution of issues of equality regarding the political rights and freedoms of women in the dynamics of their development. The article also shows, using statistical material, how gender equality in Russia has lost its leading position in the world over the past 30 years. Comparative analysis with a number of European countries clearly demonstrates that the levels of power for women's social lifts in Russia are still “broken”, and the effects of gender inequality in political careers have found not the most pleasant metaphors: “sticky floor” and “glass ceiling”.
