The Impact

The youths are the most viable and productive group of people which also constitute the most vibrant and energetic sector of any nation. This is due to the fact that they possess distinct characteristics which clearly distinguish them from other segments of the society. These include: physical strength, psychological prowess, superb intelligence, perseverance and many more. The irony of it however, is that these potentials are not harnessed or put into positive use by these youths and this is occasioned by myriads of factors. No doubt, youth involvement in violent conflicts remains one of the most challenging issues that are bedeviling the peace of Nigeria. Hence, youth restiveness and violent conflicts pervaded the social fabric of Nigeria as a whole. It is in view of this that this paper tries to examine the major causes of youth restiveness in Nigeria; its effect on the sociopolitical and economic development of Nigeria and therefore proffers possible solutions to the ugly trend.

The Impact

Because of feminist activism, what were once considered incompatible entities, women and sport, have come to be united within the social fabric of the 21st century. Recent generations of women are the first to experience sport as a commonplace reality that is largely taken for granted. After initial exclusion from the first and second wave feminist agendas, many activists now recognize sport as a vehicle for the advancement of women. The female athlete has been described by some academics as a type of “stealth feminist” who can support key feminist causes without arousing a knee-jerk social response. Although female sport participation and the status of female athletes have improved significantly, the impact this has had in the lived experience of women remains to be understood. This research project seeks to conduct focus groups with female athletes to better understand their relationship with the topic of feminism and to explore the impact sport participation has had within their lives. Deeper comprehension and documentation of sport from the perspective of female participants may not only serve to help guide sport policy and programing, but may also serve to foster a united, feminist consciousness that is capable of expanding the possibilities for female athletes and for women more broadly.

In the current conditions of development of the international and national economy, an important task of statistical research is to conduct an objective and timely assessment and modeling of the relationship between indicators of economic and social development. Based on the results of these studies, reasonable management influences of the state on the adjustment and regulation of the country’s development are accepted. The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between the main components of economic and social development of the country and the construction of a set of models for forecasting the prospects of the country. The object of the study is the socio-economic condition of the country. The article proposes an algorithmic model for assessing the impact of economic development on society, which allows to identify key economic indicators that influence and shape the social development of the country. The practical value of the algorithmic model is to develop a system of evaluation and selection as a result of modeling the most significant factors that shape the social development of the country. The study confirmed the hypothesis of the dominant impact of economic development on society and determined that the main economic factors are the level of competencies that satisfy the modern labour market, technical development of businesses and their competitiveness in markets.

Sustainable development is a type of development that advocates first of all the harmonization between economic development and environmental protection, adding social progress; it would therefore be a development in which high and stable growth in the production of goods and services is compatible with widespread social progress, environmental protection, and prudent and efficient use of natural resources. Among the different sectoral areas transferred by the idea of sustainable development is undoubtedly the field of urban planning and housing. The activity generated in cities has an important environmental impact, so it is necessary to orient urban structures, homes, and buildings under premises that are as respectful as possible with the environment, also taking advantage of its economic potential and its effect on the social fabric that inhabits it. It is about promoting integrated actions in the urban environment that are in tune with the objectives.

The study of some indicators of the components of socio-economic development of the region on the example of Vinnytsia region, namely production, financial, demographic, scientific and technical, social, environmental. It is stated that the provision of socio-economic development of the territorial community is realized through the financial content of the social sphere at the expense of own municipal funds and subsidies from the state budget. The assessment of expenditures proves that the social protection of the Vinnytsia region ensures compliance with the constitutional guarantees of citizens. The studied indicators of the Vinnytsia region prove that the socio-economic development of the community is aimed at ensuring the statutory guarantees of social protection of citizens, as well as streamlining the existing system of municipal assistance, benefits and compensation. One of the most successful system technologies that allows you to assess the impact of external and internal factors is a SWOT-analysis. The results of the SWOT analysis make it possible to assess the ability to withstand threats, as well as to overcome internal shortcomings. Thus, the internal factors of socio-economic development of the Vinnytsia region are dominated by strengths. With regard to agriculture and industry, the situation in the region is currently exacerbated by a shortage of skilled labor, namely, specialists in engineering and manufacturing. External labor migration increases the risk of further development of the labor industry. Declared indicators of socio-economic development of the territorial community are considered in terms of a set of different social and economic goals, rational and reasonable use of municipal and state financial resources. The given separate indicators characterizing social and economic development of territorial community allow to define acceptability of conditions for life and development of the person, social and economic stability of community. Changes in social and economic indicators under the influence of internal factors are the basis for the formation of qualitative socio-economic development of the region and the state as a whole.

Introduction. Globalization has led to a change in the role of cluster cooperation in economic development. The impact of globalization on regional development of cluster cooperation primarily manifests itself in the fact that it gives regional clusters a new status of subjects of the world economic system and world competitive processes. In the context of globalization, there is a deepening gap in the levels of economic development of regional clusters and an increase in the social vulnerability of the population.Research hypothesis: the concept of regional cluster cooperation covers both a variety of qualitative factors and conditions (informal knowledge networks, trust, image), and a quantitative assessment of attributes and processes (for example, interfirm trade, patenting rates, labor supply, cost of resources used). Regional cluster cooperation consists of the interaction of individual subjects of the region, the social, economic, institutional and social attributes of the region itself. This creates the effect of a combination of factors, increases the competitiveness of the region, creates and (or) uses innovations.The purposeof the study is to substantiate a system of criteria for classifying the forms of spatially localized systems of cluster cooperation, to identify the comparative characteristics of cluster policy models.The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of a number of scientific fields – the theory of national and regional competitiveness, cluster economic theory, the concept of regional archetypes, theories of spatial proximity, the general theory of systems.Results. The features of the clustering of the Ukrainian economy are identified, the main ones are identified: the formation of bottom-up clusters, discrepancies in the interpretation of the concept of cluster policy, the lack of interest of the cluster members in the interaction.Findings. Analysis of cluster policy in the regions of the EU and Ukraine allowed us to distinguish several types of cluster policy depending on various classification criteria. Depending on the stage of cluster development, the features of cluster policy are highlighted and an effective system of cluster cooperation for the Dnipropetrovsk region is proposed.

Purpose Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an issue in the international banking industry, where each bank must assert its stakeholders, the social fabric and the natural environment. In the same time, legitimacy which has become one of the most critical issues for corporations, can be increased in the eyes of other stakeholders or institutions by structurally or procedurally adjusting to institutional influences. By conforming to three external institutional pressures (normative, mimetic and coercive), identified by DiMaggio and Powell (1983), organizations can build, support and gain legitimacy for their activities in specific institutional environments. Design/methodology/approach Using a qualitative approach, this research highlights the input of neo-institutional theory in the CSR context in top Lebanese banks in Lebanon. Findings This paper aims to analyze the impact of neo-institutionalism and the role of stakeholders in legitimizing CSR practices in the Lebanese banking sector. Practical implications Top Lebanese banks cannot simply comply with institutional pressures to gain their legitimacy, they need to develop their CSR activities targeted toward legitimacy-building at the local level; as for managers they cannot simply adopt managerial perspectives instrumentally to gain societal support, they need to adapt such perspectives and practices to the local needs as expressed by their internal and external stakeholders. Originality/value Managers of top Lebanese banks need to proactively engage in managing institutional pressures by adopting and adapting legitimacy-seeking strategies. This study highlights that top Lebanese banks differ in their CSR orientation because of their ownership structure, number of employees and profitability.

Tax Regulation

Relevance of research topic. Tax regulation is a key factor in ensuring economic development and social stability through a balance of fiscal and stimulus functions. The sources of accumulation of funds of financial resources are the taxes in various forms, which is provided by the fiscal function. The priority is represented by the formation of strategic goals of tax policy to achieve the goals of public financial management. It is necessary, under the current conditions, to improve the structure of tax revenues of the budget. Formulation of the problem. Further development of provisions for the development of a tax regulation mechanism will provide an opportunity to increase the degree of adaptability of the impact of taxation on the socio-economic environment. Important priorities in the activities of fiscal authorities are to improve the quality of the mechanism of tax administration, improving the model of the state tax risk-management. Analysis of recent research and publications. The development of the mechanism of tax regulation was considered by foreign scholars, in particular, A. J. Auerbach, R. M. Byrd, E. M. Zolt, J. Mehon, A. Laffer, J. Friedman, V. Tanzi. Their work reflects the importance of tax regulation to ensure progressive socio-economic development over the past decades. L. Lysyak, A. Mazaraki, M. Kuzhelev, A. Nikitishin, V. Makogon, L. Sidelnikova, I. Chugunov and other Ukrainian scientists have developed a concept for implementing of the tax policy in Ukraine in the context of economic system transformation. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. The mechanism of the tax regulation of socio-economic development needs further research. An important task of the state is to increase the effectiveness of fiscal incentives. The aim of the article is to improve the mechanism of formation and implementation of the mechanism of tax regulation of socio-economic development of the country in terms of structural changes in the financial system. Research methodology. The system approach and the method of comparative analysis, synthesis, logical approach and method of scientific abstraction are used. Techniques of statistical analysis were used in the study of the peculiarities of tax revenues and fees to the State Budget of Ukraine. Results of work. An analysis of the impact of the tax revenues on the dynamics of economic development for the period 2011-2019 was performed. The dynamics and the specific weight of the overpayment of the taxes and fees to the State Budget of Ukraine are studied. The directions of improvement of the system of tax administration are offered. Suggestions for improving the tax regulation mechanism are substantiated. Conclusions. Tax regulation is a very effective lever of influence on the dynamics of economic development and the social stability. At the center of the institutional mechanisms of its implementation is a set of redistributive relations regarding the social product. The development of the provisions for forecasting and planning of the tax policy measures in the context of globalization will provide an opportunity to increase the adaptability of the impact of tax regulation on economic development. In order to improve tax regulation in the formation of budget revenues, it is advisable to improve the quality of forecasting macroeconomic indicators of the country's development and planning of the tax revenues, and to increase the effectiveness of mechanisms for collecting and preventing the growth of tax debt. It is quite important and relevant to ensure a balanced tax policy, which should be based on a systematic approach to the interaction of the components of tax relations, taking into account the principles of fiscal sufficiency, neutrality, stability and cost-effectiveness of taxation.

Corporate social responsibility is the responsibility of an individual company for the impact of its decisions and actions on society, the environment, through transparent and ethical behavior that promotes sustainable development, health and well-being of society, takes into account the expectations of stakeholders, complies with applicable law and international conduct. Taking into account that the main economic role of banks is to provide financial opportunities for business by increasing the monetization of the economy through cheap credit, promoting the production of high value-added goods, so that not to become a raw material appendage and a powerful supplier of labor to other countries it is important to analyse the social responsibility of banks in the context of ensuring the social and economic development of the state. The urgent task in the near future for Ukraine involves the formation of the concept of its development, focused on people, concentrating on financial investments in the basic infrastructure of cities in the field of education, medicine, ecology. One of the tools for this strategic task is the social responsibility of banks, based on their interaction with regional and local governments in order to form and develop partnerships to ensure the efficiency of business processes, soften the monetary policy of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) at the expense of money issued by commercial banks in the form of cheap loans. The article monitors the main areas of social responsibility in the banks of Ukraine, identifies obstacles to the active development of social responsibility of banks. The priority tasks set for Ukrainian banks to intensify their social responsibility are the formation and publication of a mandatory Management Report, also partnership of banks with influence groups, non-governmental organizations, as well as with local authorities, their systematic transition from project-based social responsibility to program-based activity in their initiatives, adaptation of international projects and strategies of banks to the Ukrainian market, introduction of innovative products and services in the operational activities of banks, which help to solve specific social problems and create new opportunities for people.
