The article is devoted to the study of modern approaches to the formation of consumer demand. The classification of the types of various factors influencing the consumer's behavior and deciding on the purchase of a product or service has been made, on the basis of which the types of consumption are distinguished. Given the advent of the era of consumerism, the attention is paid to the network effects, in particular the Bandwagon effect and the Snob effect. Their influence on the consumer from the point of view of economic theory is considered and the result of their influence on the consumer demand by means of the graphical models is illustrated. The analysis of consumption peculiarities in Ukraine in modern conditions, which are conditioned by the differentiation of the standard of living of the population, has been carried out. The dynamics of changes in the volume and structure of income and expenditure by Ukrainians has been investigated. The decline in purchasing power and increase in signs of deprivation of domestic consumers is revealed, which is confirmed, among other factors, with decrease in food consumption over the last five years by all types of products. Recommendations on measures aimed at stimulating consumer demand growth are given.

Abstract Research background: The efficiency of the functioning of District Employment Agencies is often assessed on the basis of the level of employment and cost-effectiveness indices. The values of these indices are influenced by various socio-economic factors, which were grouped into five areas in the paper: unemployment, demography, environment, entities and the human potential of District Employment Agencies (PUPs). The research was conducted in 340 District Employment Agencies in 2017. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to separate groups of District Employment Agencies with similar values of employment and cost-effectiveness indices, with the simultaneous identification of the level of factors that characterize the socio-economic situation and staff potential in each of the separated groups. Research methodology: One of the methods of a multidimensional statistical analysis – the regression trees method was used in the work. Results: The use of regression trees allowed the separation of groups of District Employment Agencies, which differed in terms of the level of employment and cost-effectiveness indices, and characterized these groups due to socio-economic factors and staffing potential. Novelty: The survey covers all District Employment Agencies in Poland and the obtained research results can be useful for labor market institutions to assess the efficiency of PUPs.

BackgroundLow socio-economic status is associated with a higher prevalence of depression, but it is not yet known whether change in socio-economic status leads to a change in rates of depression.AimsTo assess whether longitudinal change in socio-economic factors affects change of depression level.MethodIn a prospective cohort study using the annual Belgian Household Panel Survey (1992–1999), depression was assessed using the Global Depression Scale. Socio-economic factors were assessed with regard to material standard of living, education, employment status and social relationships.ResultsA lowering in material standard of living between annual waves was associated with increases in depressive symptoms and caseness of major depression. Life circumstances also influenced depression. Ceasing to cohabit with a partner increased depressive symptoms and caseness, and improvement in circumstances reduced them; the negative effects were stronger than the positive ones.ConclusionsThe study showed a clear relationship between worsening socio-economic circumstances and depression.

Goal. To establish the dependence of the formation of unauthorized dumps of solid household waste with spatial features and socio-economic factors. Methods. Field, statistical data processing. Results. As a result of inventory of landfills of waste related to urban areas. Babai and s. Zatyshne 23 objects were discovered. Each object is analyzed in accordance with a number of criteria designed to optimize waste accumulation and disposal processes in suburban areas. On the basis of the analysis, all objects are classified and grouped into groups for a number of common features. The conducted analysis and classification of landfills enable to give a clear linking of objects to the spatial features within which they were formed. In addition, the analysis of the socio-economic component gives an idea of the context of the formation of landfills, the features of their further growth and morphological composition. On the basis of the analysis, four zones of risk of the formation and development of unauthorized waste landfills are allocated. Risk zones are allocated on the basis of the number of formed landfills, their area and the dynamics of growth. Conclusions dedicated areas of risk of the formation and growth of unauthorized dumps give the opportunity to build an effective system of environmental management and a program of sanitary clearing of territories. Binding landfill to spatial features and socio-economic factors allows for forecasting and subsequent control, which will be aimed at stopping the formation of new objects. Important in this approach is the concept of "individuality" of populated areas, since identified risk areas for one group of settlements, may be irrelevant for the next territorial cluster of management.

Companies and business managers know about social media as a phenomenon and its power as a business tool. In various earlier researches many viewpoints, theories and models on online behaviour of individual consumers have been put across and build upon from time to time. However, keeping in mind the exponential growth in digital transactions in India, the digital platform managers of various companies are still data hungry and want data analytics to be done to understand various parameters affecting consumer black box. The focus of this study is on comparison of the psychological and socio-economic factors which affect the behaviour of individual user on social media. A model is proposed here by integrating psychological factors, social media behaviour elements and economic factors, and efforts to predict the impact for the social media usage are made. This research contributes by broadening the paradigm of various learning theories and predicts the online social media usage attitude development factors. This study in particular presents a different point of view about online social media behaviour by examining the effect of psychological and socio-economic elements and the moderating role of individual characteristics. It is an attempt by authors to empirically integrate and understand empirically, and draw a comparison between the impact of psychological and socio-economic factors that influence the consumers’ social media behaviour elements depending on their ability to affect the consumer’s attitude.

This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the students' low accumulative averages at Palestine Technical university- Khadoorie from the students' point of view using the descriptive analytical approach. The research tool was a four-dimensional questionnaire reflecting the potential factors affecting the students' low accumulative averages, namely: personal factors, socio-economic, factors, educational factors, and environmental and physical factors. For the purpose of this study, these factors were tested on a random sample of (354) male and female students from different faculties at the university. The study showed the following results: - The overall average of the factors affecting the students' low accumulative averages at Palestine Technical university- Kadoorie from the student’s point of view was (3.08); that is, "medium" in words. Concerning the four dimensions, the overall average of the educational factors was (4.06), followed by socio-economic factors with an overall average of (4.05), then personal factors with an overall average of (4.03). All of the three aforementioned dimensions had a “high” rating, while the environmental and physical factors lastly had a “medium” rating with an overall average of (3.16). - With reference to the variables of gender, faculty and academic level, no statistical differenceswere found between the factors affecting the students' low accumulative averages at Palestine Technical university- Khadoorie from the student’s point of view. In light of the findings, a number of recommendations and suggestions to improve the students' low accumulative averages and reduce the factors leading to low accumulative averages have been made for the university. First of all, a course that introduces students to university life, its requirements, and the laws and regulations in force at the university should be offered. Secondly, workshop son questions preparation and formulation should be held for the university faculty members. Moreover, poor students should be helped in order to be fully committed to education.

The aim of this paper, which is what scientists would call a ‘working paper’, is to provide some orientation and ideas for future research on the level and distribution of population in Graeco-Roman Egypt. A traditional concern of historians has been to fix the size of the total population. On the shaky basis of an incidental figure in Josephus and a doctored passage of Diodorus Siculus, this is conventionally pitched, for the most prosperous periods of Ptolemaic and Roman domination, in the range of 8 to 10 million. In section 1 of this paper I discuss the literary sources at some length, not because of their value but in the hope of ending misleading citation of them. In the more positive section 2 I use general considerations and what documentary evidence we have to argue instead for a population in the Graeco-Roman period of from around 3 million to a maximum of 5 million.Such vague total estimates, however, are of limited value. They serve as an introduction to and as parameters for the more historically interesting questions of relative increases and decreases over time, and of the density and distribution of population in relation to other socio-economic factors such as the quantity and type of land under cultivation, the prevailing agricultural regime, the scale of urbanisation, elite exploitation through taxes and rents, and the standard of living of the rural population.
