The article deals with modern mechanisms for managing social protection of the population by the state and the private sector. From the point of view of forms of state regulation of the sphere of social protection, system indicators usually include the state and dynamics of growth in the standard of living of the population, material goods, services and social guarantees for the poorly provided segments of the population. The main indicator among the above is the state of the consumer market, as one of the main factors in the development of the state. Priority areas of public administration with the use of various forms of social security have been identified. It should be emphasized that, despite the legislative conflicts that exist today in Ukraine, mandatory indexation of the cost of living is established, which is associated with inflation. Various scientists note that although the definition of the cost of living index has a well-established methodology, there are quite a lot of regional features in the structure of consumption. All this is due to restrictions that are included in the consumer basket of goods and different levels of socio-economic development of regions. The analysis of the establishment and periodic review of the minimum consumer budgets of the subsistence minimum and wages of the working population and the need to form state insurance funds for unforeseen circumstances is carried out. Considering in this context the levers of state management of social guarantees of the population, we drew attention to the crisis periods that are associated with the market transformation of the regional economy. In these conditions, there is a need to develop and implement new mechanisms and clusters in the system of socio-economic relations. The components of the mechanisms ofstate regulation ofsocial guarantees of the population are proposed. The deepening of market relations in the process of reforming the system of social protection of the population should be aimed at social well-being.

The author identifies obstacles to the development of mass sports in Ukraine. The role of the state in the development of the sports sector is noted. The main directions of purposeful managerial influence on the objects of management in the field of physical culture and sports are described. The place of bodies of intersectional competence in coordination of activity of executive bodies on the decision of questions of interbranch character, in comparison with functions of the state committees (public services) and the ministries is defined. The definition of the concept of «mechanism of public administration» is considered. The content of the state regulation of the development of physical culture and sports is characterized. The principles on which the regional management is based are specified and its system components are defined: a subsystem of the central and regional authorities; a set of functions performed by government agencies, as well as various methods, resources used to implement functions; subsystem of connections (direct and inverse) that arise between objects and subjects of management. The vision of the program-target approach, which is the mechanism of the state management of development of physical culture and sports, is characterized. The need for the state to diversify the sources of funding for the sphere in two main areas is noted. It is mentioned that the non-governmental commercial sector contradicts the first task of concentrating management in the hands of state executive bodies. The mechanism of financial regulation of the development of physical culture and sports as an integral component of the functions of financial regulation is considered in detail. An important task of state policy in the field of physical culture and sports is solved. There is a close connection between the legislative base for the development of mass physical culture and high-achievement sports and the legislation on education, social protection, health care, entrepreneurship, and local self-government. The expediency of creating one’s own territorial brand through the prism of physical culture and sports is noted. The role of bodies of local self-government in ensuring the accessibility of physical culture and sports is described.

Introduction. The question of obtaining higher education is highly relevant all over the world today, particularly in Ukraine. The modern system of financing higher education has big and complex problems and remains one of the most important and least settled issues of our country. The opportunity to obtain high-quality education in a prestigious higher educational institution often depends not only on the level of knowledge and readiness of the young person, but also on his/her ability to pay for the education. Thus, the lack of research on the relationship between the cost of higher education as a factor affecting the educational economy, deserves particular attention regarding the influence on the socio-economic status of the nation, and makes the selected topic significantly relevant. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the impact of the cost of higher education on the economy of the state and justify the need to consider this issue from the point of view of the education economy. Results. The article presents the scientific views on the interpretation of the concept of education economy. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the educational economy are characterized. The article also defines the problems of financing higher education from the state budget as it remains one of the most important and complex issues which are not sufficiently settled in our country. There is a review of the functions of education, which aim is to provide a higher level of income and increase the level of well-being of the individual. It is shown that accessibility to higher education for the population has an impact on the distribution of income in society, leads to increased productivity, which is resulted in the growth of individual employee’s income and in increased productivity in the national economy and rises the total income of society. Conclusion. Due to the fact that the main priority of the state in the part of the education economy is to increase its level, higher education should be used as a tool of state socio-economic policy for the development of this sector and support of talented young people. Knowledge generated in higher education is the most important and inexhaustible resource for a science-based economy. In today's context, education needs to be guided by the demands of the labor market, since the education market is an integral part of this market, because it generates a demand for employees of the required specialties.

The indicators that determine the change in the macroeconomic situation in the economy of Azerbaijan in 2010–2017, as well as the conditions for increasing the effectiveness of state intervention in solving economic problems are analyzed. It is noted that it is not the size of the public sector that becomes important, but its qualitative component (management and redistribution of resources and revenues, coordination of government intervention in economic relations). The main reasons limiting economic growth are identified, and the mechanisms for overcoming them are disclosed, since economic growth is of particular importance in the transformational period of state development. It substantiates the assertion that the forms and methods of state regulation should be the result of a reasonable combination of the private and public sectors of the economy to more effectively achieve the goal of economic development of the country and increase the welfare of the population. To this end, it is advisable to limit the actions of market forces and find a rational ratio of market and government measures that stimulate economic growth and development.It is shown that in the near future the development of the economy of Azerbaijan should be focused on the transition to the integration of various models of economic transformation; at the same time, “attraction of investments” should be carried out by methods of stimulating consumption, and the concept of a socially oriented economy, which the state also implements, should prevail, thereby ensuring social protection of the population and at the same time developing market relations. Disproportions in regional and sectoral development are also noted, which are the result of an ineffective distribution of goods produced, inadequate investment in human capital, a low level of coordination and stimulation of economic growth and development.

The paper deals with the methodology and practice of the state regulation of the regional economy based on the legislative framework and works of Russian scientists in the historical context with account for the specifics of the current period of market transformation. The subject of research is organizational and economic relations, aimed at improving the management efficiency of regional socio-economic development. The purpose of research was to identify the key problems of the regional economy regulation preventing the balanced functioning of administrative-territorial entities and substantiate the need to boost measures of state support. Based on the dialectical cognition method and the system approach, the positions of leading scientists and scientific schools on topical issues of the regional economy as a scientific discipline were analyzed, which made it possible to identify the main reasons hampering socio-economic transformations and justify measures for running a more active regional policy. It is concluded that consistent improvement of methodological and organizational approaches creates prerequisites for improving the results of the socio-economic development at the regional level; however, in the current situation of the macroeconomic instability serious problems may arise to be resolved primarily by the state regulation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of labor market freedom on state-level cost of living differentials in the USA using cross-sectional data for 2016 after allowing for the impacts of economic and quality of life factors. Design/methodology/approach The study uses two-stage least squares estimation controlling for factors contributing to cost of living differences across states. Findings The results reveal that an increase in labor market freedom reduces the overall cost of living. Research limitations/implications The study can be extended using panel data and alternative measures of labor market freedom. Practical implications In general, the finding that less intrusive government and greater labor freedom are associated with a reduced cost of living should not be surprising. This is because less government intrusion and greater labor freedom both inherently allow markets to be more efficient in the rationalization of and interplay with forces of supply and demand. Social implications The findings of this and future related studies could prove very useful to policy makers and entrepreneurs, as well as small business owners and public corporations of all sizes – particularly those considering either location in, relocation to, or expansion into other markets within the USA. Furthermore, the potential benefits of the National Right-to-Work Law currently under consideration in Congress could add cost of living reductions to the debate. Originality/value The authors extend the literature on cost of living differentials by investigating whether higher amounts of state-level labor market freedom act to reduce the states’ cost of living using the most recent annual data available (2016). That labor freedom has a systemic efficiency impact on the state-level cost of living is a significant finding. In our opinion, it is likely that labor market freedom is increasing the efficiency of labor market transactions in the production and distribution of goods and services, and acts to reduce the cost of living in states. In addition, unlike previous related studies, the authors investigate the impact of not only overall labor market freedom on the state-level cost of living, but also how the three sub-indices of labor market freedom, as identified and measured by Stansel et al. (2014, 2015), impact the cost of living state by state.

Differences in regional prices and wages are examined for the United States in 1890, together with the relationship between the cost of living and city size, and the determinants of regional industrial growth. Results indicate that regional cost-of-liying differences were sufficiently large so that money wages cannot be used for purposes of comparing the economic well-being of wage earners across regions. Except for the South, money wages and the cost of living were positively correlated. The relative differences in money wages, however, were greater; consequently real wages in high wage-price areas were generally higher.

Abstract We estimate the distribution of well-being among the older U.S. population using an expected utility framework that incorporates differences in consumption, leisure, health, and mortality. We find large disparities in welfare that have increased over time. Incorporating the cost of living with poor health into elderly welfare substantially increases the overall inequality. Disparity measures based on cross-sectional income or consumption underestimate the growth in aggregate welfare inequality. Moreover, health is a better indicator of an individual's relative welfare position than income or consumption.

The article analyzes the flaws of the classical measures of economic growth. It is based on the assumption that, while not questioning the quality of the GDP indicator as a tool for measuring economic activity, it points out that the way this indicator is constructed influences the actions of governments, citizens and other actors, affecting also non-productive areas. What we measure affects what we do - if production is measured, then the criterion determining the success of the state and society will be the growth of production, and not the level of education, health or state of the environment. Gross domestic product in many cases includes production that, from the point of view of the community, indicates unfavorable processes. These are the so-called anti-goods, i.e., phenomena that increase GDP, although they worsen well-being and are socially undesirable).

Problem setting. This article deals with the problems of forming the legislative mechanism of creation and state support of the legal investment order, which should ensure the functioning of the investment market in the mode of observance of the principle of freedom of investment activity and at the same time real providing the national economy with investments in the necessary quantitative and qualitative parameters for the expanded reproduction of competitive socially-based production, without the use of excessive enforcement mechanisms labor, intellectual, financial and natural resources of the country and ensure the state of investment security. Analysis of scientific research. It is significant that public procurement has been the subject of scientific research by experts in commercial law: D.V. Zadikhaylo, V.K. Mamutov, O.P. Podserkovniy, V.A. Ustimenko, V.S. Shcherbinа, etc. The purpose of this scientific article is to identify the key problems of the formation of the legislative mechanism for the creation and state support of the legal investment order, which should ensure the functioning of the investment market and ensure the state of investment security. Article’s main body. The concept of national investment security, which is part of the national economic security of the country as a whole, is to systematically prevent the threat of a critical shortage of investment resources through the creation and state support of an appropriate legal investment order. The lack of a clear and systematic definition in the legislation of Ukraine of the legal mechanism of state regulation of economic relations, including investment, is a disadvantage, which frankly reduces the state’s ability to effectively influence economic processes and, consequently, its ability to fulfill its functional responsibilities in the sphere of economy. The investment component is a special subsystem of economic security that creates prerequisites for the best use of socio-economic relations in the development and scientific and technical restoration of productive forces of society through active investment activity. In studying the structure of the investment component we propose to take into account: inclusion of the investment component in the system of economic security of Ukraine; differentiation of the investment component by different levels of economy (country, region, industry, enterprise); the property of synergism, that is, the investment component of the economic security of the country is not a mere set of investment components of the economic security of regions and enterprises; formation of an investment component under the influence of many objective factors; the occurrence of various risks as a result of appropriate conditions. Conclusions and prospects for development. That’s why there is a need to develop and substantiate a system of initial concepts related to the economic and legal support of the implementation of the investment policy of the state: the investment market, the investment policy of the state, the legal investment policy of the state, the legislative investment policy of the state, the mechanism of formation of the legal investment policy, investment order and national investment security, etc.

The article discusses the main issues of definition of social entrepreneurship, both from economic and legal point of view. Since Russian legislature is only at the beginning of the way to create legal framework for activities, legislation on social entrepreneurship seems fragmentary and inconsistent. All of that adversely affects development of social entrepreneurship. Official city statistics (Nizhnevartovsk) show that less than a third of all entrepreneurs are interested in this type of activity; entrepreneurs who already have business in the field of social entrepreneurship mostly do not plan to expand current activities in this area. Analysis can contribute to creation of developed socio-economic relations in Russia. It can be achieved by building effective relations between social entrepreneurs and beneficiaries on the one hand, and also between social entrepreneurs and the state on the other.
