Aim. The presented study aims to identify and describe the relations of mutual restriction between the fundamental spheres of a human-oriented economy.Tasks. The author describes problems associated with the need to study the human-oriented economy; establishes horizontal and vertical economic relations in the economic system; discovers the specific aspects of horizontal economic relations through the interaction between the spheres of a human-oriented economy; identifies normal and pathological restriction relations.Methods. This study uses scientific methods of cognition, namely content analysis and the Wuxing Pentagram.Results. Horizontal relations between the defining spheres of a human-oriented economy are determined. The resource (human needs) that ensures interaction between the spheres of the economic system under consideration is identified. Normal restriction relations are described: natural-material sphere — information-digital sphere, information-digital sphere — cognitive sphere, cognitive sphere — social-service sphere, social-service sphere — creatosphere, creatosphere — natural-material sphere. Pathological restriction relations are detected: informationdigital sphere — natural-material sphere, cognitive sphere — information-digital sphere, socialservice sphere — cognitive sphere, creatosphere — social-service sphere, natural-material sphere — creatosphere.Conclusions. Examination of restriction relations in a human-oriented economy provides insight into the directions for the regulation of the corresponding economic system, which, according to the author, will ensure not only personal, but also economic growth.

Aim. The presented study aims to identify and interpret mutual support relationships between the key areas of a human-oriented economy.Tasks. The authors formulate the problems of the relevance of examining economic relationships within the framework of various economic systems; substantiate the existence of economic support relationships and restrictions in the context of a human-centered economy; identify and structure normal and pathological economic support relationships between the spheres of a  human-oriented economy.Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of this study is based on the Wuxing Pentagram.Results. The authors present their view of economic support relationships in a human-centered economy as a result of interaction between its spheres: natural-material, social-service, information-digital, creatosphere and cognitive sphere. The resource (human needs) that ensures the interaction between the components of the economic system is identified. Normal support relationships are determined: natural-material sphere — social-service sphere; social-service sphere –information-digital sphere; information-digital sphere — creatosphere; creatosphere — cognitive sphere; cognitive sphere — natural-material sphere. Pathological support relationships are detected: social-service sphere — natural-material sphere; information-digital sphere — socialservice sphere; creatosphere — information-digital sphere; cognitive sphere — creatosphere; natural-material sphere — cognitive sphere.Conclusions. By defining and understanding inter-component support relationships in the context of a human-oriented economy, it becomes possible to determine directions for their regulation to ensure productive development of the economic system as a whole and each person in particular.

At the moment, the model of the economy of the Republic of Belarus is constantly developing, filling with new content as the external conditions and internal factors of the functioning of the national economic system change. The purpose of the study is to analyze the economic growth in the Republic of Belarus based on various methods. The methodological basis of the study was the methods of dialectics, methods and principles of interdisciplinary scientific knowledge of a subject of complex quality, the rules for constructing a paradigm and its terminological support. Research hypothesis. At the moment in the Republic of Belarus a "modern knowledge economy" is being formed, that is, the economic system, the economic order and the economic mechanism are constantly being improved .. Presentation of the main material. The article formulates the main hypotheses of the research, shows the stages of new economic relations, which are being reformed at a faster pace, taking into account the requirements of technical progress. It is substantiated that intensive or extensive types of economic growth do not exist in their pure form. There is always a combination of them with the predominance of one - predominantly intensive or predominantly extensive economic growth. The originality and practical significance lies in the attribution of growth to one type or another, depending on the value of the specific weight of the increase in production obtained due to a qualitative or quantitative change in its factors. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Based on an analysis of the past, an assessment of the existing problems and the results achieved in the present, it is possible to avoid possible risks in the future, and this is precisely what management excellence is about. And the correct perception and analysis of the reasons for the lag contains the potential for growth. Further research on the topic should be focused on clarifying the institutional foundations that can really streamline the limitations of the system for analyzing the economic growth of the state.

For a long time theoretical representations and real actions of the reformers of the socio-economic system were in the plane of the orthodox neoclassical theory. At the same time, reformist rhetoric contained leading neo-liberal ideas, which substantially discredited them. The main task of the author is to restore the reputation of the neo-liberal economic doctrine as a whole and to prove the necessity of liberalizing the Ukrainian economy in particular. The article reveals the essence of the liberalization of economic life as a movement towards economic freedom in the broadest sense. The main ideological and philosophical content of liberalization is the strengthening of human-centered economic system, the transparency of economic relations, the humanization of the economic space, the institutionalization of interactions between all economic actors. In turn, the key economic and political dimension of liberalization can be represented by an integrated index of economic freedom, which assesses the level of real support for economic freedom by the relevant institutions and policies of the countries. The author analyzes the sources and factors of the expansion or limitation of the influence of state policy and institutions on economic freedom, which determine the level of socio-economic development of countries. It has been determined that countries that have formed relevant institutions and policies that promote economic freedom have higher levels of income, wealth, investment and more rapid economic growth.

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 following study is the first Swedish study on Halal tourism in Sweden. The purpose of this exploratory research is to get insight into the perception of Halal tourism in Sweden among representatives of tourism stakeholders. The overall methodology approach in this research is qualitative, consisting of 25 qualitative questionnaires, 21 short letters, four follow-up interviews, and a web observation, and content analysis was employed. The results indicate that there is a low knowledge of Halal tourism in Sweden including Swedish tourism industry. The concept is very challenging, and profits are low. It might result in problem scenarios such as detrimental effects on non-Halal tourism, cultural difficulties and increased risk of xenophobia, anti-Islamism, and tension in the society. There is low interest for Sweden among Muslim tourists as the interest and priority for Halal tourism is rather low from Swedish tourism industry. Despite Halal tourism’s importance internationally, these representatives are rather cautious and doubtful about promotion of Sweden towards this niche. Still, a majority seems to be positive to a lighter version of Muslim-friendly tourism with secular/moderate Muslims as a target group.

The mining industry plays a significant role in economic growth and development. Coal is a viable renewable energy source with 185.175 billion deposits in Thar, which has not been deeply explored. Although coal is an energy source and contributes to economic development, it puts pressure on environmental sustainability. The current study investigates Sindh Engro coal mining’s impact on environmental sustainability and human needs and interest. The Folchi and Phillips Environmental Sustainability Mathematics models are employed to measure environmental sustainability. The research findings demonstrated that Sindh Engro coal mining is potentially unsustainable for the environment. The toxic gases (methane, carbon dioxide, sulfur, etc.) are released during operational activities. The four significant environment spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere) are negatively influenced by Thar coal mining. The second part of the analysis results shows that human needs and interests have a positive and significant relationship except for human health and safety with Sindh Engro coal mining. Environmental pollution can be controlled by utilizing environmentally friendly coal mining operations and technologies. Plantation and ecological normalization can protect the species, flora, and fauna of the Thar Desert. The government of Pakistan and the provincial government of Sind should strictly check the adaptation of environmental standards. Furthermore, the researchers should explore the environmental issues and solutions so that coal mining becomes a cost-efficient and environmental-friendly energy source in Pakistan.

AbstractIn a recent contribution to this journal, Deng et al. (2021) draw on an extensive range of theoretical and empirical literature to make the case for the tendency of social capital resources of agricultural cooperatives in the Western world to decline over time. The present paper revisits this argument by drawing on a Luhmannian systems-theoretic perspective that takes the capitalist economic system to be limitedly sensitive and receptive to a broad variety of human needs. Whereas many of these needs remain marginalized and neglected, some of them may be codified or translated into a profit-making calculus. Cooperatives are shown to present one of the channels through which this codification may be possible; namely, the codification effect of cooperatives enables the incorporation of a multitude of mutual self-help activities into the economic system. This incorporation gives rise to intrasystemic adjustment processes that can be considered complete when the mutual self-help activities introduced by cooperatives no longer require the cooperative form and are integrated into the activities of investor-owned firms. If this view is accepted, then declining social capital may be an indicator of the successful codification process, which helps to make the economic system less exclusionary and more sensitive to human needs.

The purpose of the study is to determine the existing growth models of the countries of the Eurasian Union by GDP expenditures and sectors (manufacturing, transactional raw materials). The research methodology is a macroeconomic analysis of the dynamics of the main indicator of economic development — gross domestic product. The research method is a structural analysis that allows you to get a structural formula for calculating the contribution of each component of GDP to the growth rate, as well as a comparative analysis of the dynamics models of the countries in question — Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia. The result of the study is the obtained structural relationships that make it possible to measure the influence of the investment structure on the growth rate, the criteria describing economic growth with a corresponding change in the country's national wealth, as well as the identification of models of economic dynamics by the countries of the Eurasian Union. It is indicative that the transaction sector dominates in Kazakhstan and Russia, while in other countries a mixed model is found, or industrial growth as in Belarus. According to the components of GDP and expenditures of the country, either a mixed or a consumer model is found (Kyrgyzstan, Russia), however, the contribution of government spending to the growth rate is provided only in Kazakhstan. It was also revealed that the reaction to the crisis of 2009 and 2015 was fundamentally different for the countries of the Eurasian Union. The search for the factor conditions of such a prevailing dynamics, as well as the influence of union economic relations on the formation of a growth model in each country, requires an expansion of research and an analytical perspective

Purpose This study aims to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected telework initiatives in Japanese companies and investigate the factors that affect telework based on the technology, organization and environment (TOE) model, through the analysis of published documents. Design/methodology/approach Document analysis was adopted. Documents were collected from English news articles in the Nikkei Asian Review and Nikkei Asia which cover Japan's economy, industries and markets. The results of surveys by the Persol Research Institute and Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry were also provided to discuss factors promoting and hindering telework. Content analysis was adopted to analyse the documents. Findings COVID-19 had an unavoidable impact on the implementation of telework that the government had previously failed to instigate. Japanese listed companies tend to implement telework, whereas small- and medium-sized companies are struggling. The ratio of telework has been low even after the declaration of the state of emergency because there exist organizational, technological and environmental barriers to telework in Japan. Originality/value This study contributes to discussions on work style reform by focusing on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on telework. This research also gives new insight into operationalization of telework in organizations not only in Japan but also in other countries known for low rates of telework and inflexible work styles such as Korea.
