The article is devoted to the analysis of ideas of women belonging to three generations about their rights. Women’s rights are considered as part of the concept of gender citizenship, which includes ideologically and institutionalized ideas about normative gender contract for women, as well as their own meanings and values that they attribute to their status as recipients of social policy. The empirical basis of this study is composed of 45 biographical interviews with women of three generations (1950s, 1970s and 1990s years of birth). The interview guide also contained questions about parental family, education, professional activity, family and parenting, housing, organization of recreation and medical services, and retirement benefits. Based on the analysis of biographical narratives, the authors identify three modes of gender citizenship that are typical for women of three generations. 1) The mode of receiving support and benefits from the state is built through receiving support from the state as workers and mothers within the framework of social policy and is built on the subjective assessment by women of the ratio of their labor and reproductive contribution and the amount of assistance received from the state. 2) The regime of self-sufficiency and market consumption of goods relevant for women of the middle generation with experience of socialization and the beginning of working life in the period of post-Soviet transformations. In a broad sense, they see the market as the main source of well-being, which determines their solidarity with the values of the neoliberal economy and forms in them the skills of competent consumers of a wide variety of goods and services. 3) The regime of demanding support and active consumption of social goods and services is built on the basis of a proactive and individualized position of women in relation to such sources of well-being as the state and the market. Representatives of the younger generation not only have their own experience of gender discrimination, but also actively use feminist optics to define and interpret various life situations in terms of gender inequality as structurally determined differences in the life strategies of men and women.

For many years, the Punjab province of India has had the dubious distinction of having the worst sex ratio among all other states of India. In recent years, both the child sex ratio and the overall sex ratio has shown a marked improvement in the state. This paper analyses whether the improvement in sex ratios has narrowed down gender discrimination against the girl child in Punjab. This paper examines the intra-household gender differences in indicators of nutrition and well-being by employing logistic regression analysis on the latest available data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) for the year 2015–2016. It also evaluates the cash transfer schemes currently being implemented in Punjab for the welfare of the girl child and analyses their relative efficacy. The key results from the study reveal that gender continues to have a significant impact on indicators of child well-being and nutrition such as the average duration of breastfeeding and intra-household food allocation. The paper also finds that cash transfer schemes do not have a statistically significant impact on indicators of child malnutrition in the state.

For any country one of the most important social and economic problems is an unemployment. In today's conditions this problem is one of the main economic problems in Ukraine and poses a real threat to the state and social well-being. The main problem of unemployment is caused by the fact that the unemployed face the loss of qualification, social status and the lowering of the standard of living. Due to the decline in income of the population, through the loss of work, the demand for goods and services on the domestic market is decreasing, tax revenues to the state budget are decreasing, social pressure and criminality are growing. The level of unemployment is an indicator of social processes of the state, a characteristic of stability and confidence in the future of the country. The creation of an adequate predict of the level of unemployment taking into account the accidental nature of the problem provides the choice of management strategy in the employment sphere, taking into account the peculiarities of the economic situation, priorities of social development, makes it possible to assess its current state, trends and changes, as well as to take appropriate management decisions in the employment sphere. To combat this economic phenomenon, state support for business, such as subsidies for retaining employees at their workplaces, can be implemented. In general, at the level of the state it is necessary to develop new measures of a strategic nature in order not to fight against unemployment, but to prevent it. The work examines the main statistical methods of predict, which are based on the data of one time series. The peculiarities of using trend models for predicts are examined. It is noted that in the current conditions of computer software usage, the choice of trend formations for predicting is essentially simplified: different trend forms can be produced for the same time series and the one which best describes the output series by mathematical criteria can be selected. This work is devoted to the study of the problem of predict the level of unemployment in Ukraine. It is suggested to make predicts on the basis of autoregressive models of time series. In the work the models of autoregression, autoregression with a coveted average and autoregression with a trend are examined in detail. As a result, the information and analytical system for modeling and forecasting of financial processes was created. The method of prediction on the basis of auto-regressive time series model that we reviewed consists in creating a model for predicting the future events (predicting the level of unemployment) ґrunning on the known events of the past, and predicting the future data before they will be measured. The found average absolute volumetric forecast error (MAPE) and Tale coefficient allowed us to conclude that the proposed model is appropriate for making short-term forecasts of unemployment.

One of the important tasks of social policy is to ensure the social security and development of a state. Protection of the individual, society and the state from internal and external threats is ensured by social security. Social development is reflected in the effective implementation of social programs aimed at improving social welfare and the well-being of citizens. The article is aimed at suggesting some approaches to define social policy as a basis for the formation of social security of a state. Legal documents regulating security formation in the social sphere are considered. The components of social security are identified. Approaches to define the social policy of a state in the context of social security formation are offered. The types and models for carrying out social policies in the view of forming the social security of a state are analyzed. Ukraine’s social policy needs to be transformed, as it is characterized by low economic efficiency, this being the reason for the state’s inability to ensure a high level of well-being for all its citizens. Domestic social policy is characterized by a low level of security and limited social benefits for ordinary citizens, but the elite can use a whole system of social benefits and privileges. All this threatens the social security of the state. The ideology of domestic social policy makes the citizens highly dependent on the state, instead of promoting the citizens’ initiatives. However, the social security formation is impossible without improving life quality and bringing in social welfare, and without reforming and developing the social sphere. It can only become possible if social consensus is reached between different groups of political and economic interests and the state.

Distance learning (DL) changed the work-rest balance of teachers, increased risks of deterioration of their health and emotional burnout (EB). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of risk factors affecting health and emotional state of teachers engaged in DL, as well as subjective assessment of the significance of these factors by teachers. We have surveyed teachers during traditional, in-person learning (TL) period (n = 224) and DL (n = 619), and took anthropometric measurements of 45 teachers during TL and 72 teachers when DL ended. EB was studied in 72 teachers with the help of V.V. Boyko questionnaire. Statistical processing was enabled by the Statistica 13 PL package, Student's t-test, χ2 test; to identify the relationship between indicators, we relied on regression analysis, effect occurrence probability calculation. Less than half of teachers are aware of the health risk factors (low level of physical activity — 36.1%, poor nutrition — 29.2%, lack of knowledge on disease prevention — 6.9%). After DL ended, only 30% of teachers considered themselves healthy; 13.1% reported lack of EB symptoms. An increase in the average body mass index value was established. Teachers underestimating EB and health risk factors were 2.3 times more likely to grow obese (OR = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.22–0.70). The study highlights high hygienic value of physical activity as a controllable health risk factor. Raising teachers' awareness of health preservation practices will help prevent deterioration of their health, development of EB and increase the efficiency of their professional activity.

Accurate Analysis

The article is devoted to the issues of poverty, social inequality and life opportunities (chances) of individuals. Qualitative and quantitative methods of assessing life opportunities are used to analyze the effectiveness of social policy, allowing identification of the real opportunities to achieve certain levels of material well-being and quality of life for the most typical groups of the population in terms of income, education, duration of employment in professional groups. This provides a more accurate analysis of the opportunities to achieve a higher level of education, social status, access to quality medical care, reliable insurance institutions. Accessibility of knowledge, social services, employment, social networks to individuals, reflects not only their potential that can be realized in the future, but also describes the current situation: uneven distribution of resources generating poverty, social disunity. The article proposes to consider the triad of issues "poverty — social inequality — life opportunities" in a single context, which is a new methodological tool for development of social policy of the State. To eliminate the institutional gap in the social sphere in Russia, it is necessary to improve the quality of budget management, which is possible only with an integrated approach that allows the use of effective mechanisms, institutions and forms of interaction between the business community and the State. In this regard, it seems most appropriate to focus on the further development of such management mechanisms as results-based budgeting; program-targeted methods of implementing budget policy; public-private partnership in the field of financing social services to the population; actuarial methods in the pension and health insurance system.

The paper appraises current progress in establishing the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Although the progress has slowed down after the initial rapid advancement, the Union is better viewed not as an exception from the general rules of regional economic integration but rather as one of the functioning customs unions with its successes and stumbling blocs. The paper reviews the state of Eurasian institutions, the establishment of the single market of goods and services, the situation with mutual trade and investment flows among the member states, the ongoing work on the liquidation/unification of non-tariff barriers, the problems of the efficient coordination of macroeconomic policies, progress towards establishing an EAEU network of free trade areas with partners around the world, the state of the common labor market, and the dynamics of public opinion on Eurasian integration in the five member states.
