Colonial Government

This study seeks to interrogate the motives, challenges, complexities and contribution of the transportation infrastructure to the socio-economic development of the colonial government of Nigeria between 1900 and 1960. Although a lot of literature exists on the contribution of transportation to the Nigerian colonial economy, yet, there has been no serious attempt to investigate the resistance to British demands which hurt the colonizer and of African initiatives to improve their socio-economic conditions through the transportation infrastructure. The impression is often created of a completely submissive colonial population simply complying with the colonial government instructions and demands for their produce, yet findings revealed that there were challenges and obstacles to the smooth-running of a result-oriented economic policy. The basic objective of this paper is to empirically articulate the extent to which the colonial transportation infrastructure was able to fulfill the motives/impact of these efforts to the socio-economic development and well-being of Nigerians at this period. Another objective of the work is to throw more light on the extent to which these infrastructures (transport) were able to promote or negate the interests and development of the colonial government of Nigeria. The study utilized both primary and secondary data and employed the simple descriptive analysis of the materials through the historical methodology. The work adopted the Solow Neo-classical Growth theory which attempted to measure the extent to which labor, capital and technology were able to influence the economic growth of Nigeria. On the whole, the work concluded that despite the claims of the British government of achieving the ‘dual mandate’ policy of ascertaining that commercial interests of both the home country Britain and the colony were guaranteed, yet to a greater extent the colonial government benefitted more to the disadvantage of the colony whose development was only marginal during this period.

The Difference

Salah satu indikator kesenjangan kemakmuran daerah dapat dilihat dari perbedaan jumlah dan jenis fasilitas publik yang terdapat dimasing-masing daerah. Ketidakmerataan penyebaran sumber daya dan pembangunan fasilitas sosial ekonomi menyebabkan pertumbuhan wilayah juga tidak merata, sehingga diperlukan adanya daerah-daerah yang dapat menjadi pusat pertumbuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat kesenjangan fasilitas publik di Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan kabupaten/kota yang berpotensi menjadi pusat pertumbuhan di masing-masing kawasan strategis Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder fasilitas publik di 35 kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Tengah yang diperoleh dari Badan Pusat Statistik. Metode analisis yang digunakan yaitu analisis deskriptif, analisis skalogram dan indeks sentralitas marshal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kesenjangan fasilitas publik di Provinsi Jawa Tengah rendah. Pusat pertumbuhan di masing-masing kawasan strategis Provinsi Jawa Tengah adalah Kedung Sepur: Kota Semarang dan Kota Salatiga, Barlingmascakep: Kabupaten Cilacap dan Kabupaten Banyumas, Purwomanggung: Kota Magelang dan Kabupaten Wonosobo, Subosukowonosraten: Kabupaten Sukoharjo dan Kabupaten Klaten, Banglor: Kabupaten blora, Wanarakuti: Kabupaten Jepara dan Kabupaten Pati, Tangkallangka: Kota Pekalongan dan Kabupaten Pemalang, Bregas: Kota Tegal.

Insecurity has become an important challenge to global human development. While wars among countries have reduced in the 21st century compared to previous centuries, civil wars and other forms of internal violence and conflicts have continued to have devastating effects on human populations. This paper aims to examine the relationship between aspect of human security and socio-economic development in Ilorin metropolis. Primary data were sourced through structured questionnaire coupled with personal interviews to elicit responses to work on. Secondary data were sourced from published documents of the National Population Commission and the State Bureau of Statistics, journals, and other relevant literatures. Data collected were analysed using the Z-score, Lorenz curve, and Regression analyses. The study reveals that the present adaptive and institutional strategies aimed at mitigating human insecurity in the study area are rather insufficient. Using the widest bow of the Lorenz curve, the level of disparity is 18%, depicting a disparity in the pattern of socio-economic development. The conclusion from the study is that many of the sampled respondents still find it hard to satisfy their basic needs from the environment in socially acceptable standards. Given this, the following recommendations are made to improve the quality of human life in Ilorin. Policy makers should be committed to the task of advancing the socio-economic well-being of urban dwellers. Government should help by implementing policies addressing basic human security especially through the provision of infrastructural facilities, and employment opportunities thereby helping to shape the quality of life and income diversification.

The article sheds light on various approaches that seek to determine how widespread poverty and life on a low income are in Ukraine nowadays. As a social phenomenon, poverty has traditionally been associated with destitution and living below the subsistence level set by the government. However, the author holds the view that life on a low income not only means living near or below the poverty line. There is another part of Ukraine’s population that should also be considered needy — those whose income is less than twice as the subsistence level, and most of them are also subject to socio-economic deprivation. Drawing upon the findings of a social survey conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine in 2019, the paper analyses the standard of living among different income groups. Particular attention is given to consumption patterns and social well-being of respondents in the lower income brackets. From the data, it can be inferred that living conditions of many Ukrainians are inadequate to sustain and develop human potential; furthermore, the low-income households have literally to struggle every day to make ends meet. The author brings into focus the main macroeconomic factors contributing to this situation and its adverse effect on the nation’s social potential. Some of the most common social consequences of living on a low income have been identified, such as limited consumption, a person’s dissatisfaction with life and his/her position in society. The above-mentioned survey also provides the estimates of how much the current subsistence level (with regard to Ukraine) should be. Having been made by different socio-demographic and occupational groups of Ukraine’s population, these estimates are a useful source of information — given that subsistence level is considered the basic social standard. According to the survey, all these figures are at variance with the official subsistence level, which is noticeably lower, and this indicates that the current subsistence level needs an upward revision. Today, the overall socio-economic situation in Ukraine is unfavourable for neoliberal economic reforms initiated by the government. Since these policies are primarily designed to reduce the role of state in managing the economy and implementing social welfare programmes, following this path will inevitably result in the entrenchment of mass poverty and in a major loss of Ukraine’s human potential, as well as labour force. The author argues that tackling the country’s chronic low income problem is only possible if a new strategy for socio-economic development is adopted, where social welfare is prioritised.

This article focuses on the analysis of the impact of socio-economic development indicators of Altai region and Oyrot autonomous region on the eve of the Great Purge (1935 — first half of 1937) on the regional intensity of repression. Employing statistical methods (regression analysis), the author verifies the hypothesis that in the areas with the highest level of well-being of the population, the level of repression was also higher. It is established that the turnover and expenditures per capita compared with other economic indicators had the greatest influence on repression levels in Altai and Oyrotia regions. Based on the results of the analysis of regional statistics, the author of the article puts forward a theory that the thesis proclaimed by the Bolsheviks to justify the failure of economic development by the actions of the “enemies” in practice seems untenable, since economically lagging regions were characterised by a relatively low level of repression. In the second part of the article, the author presents a typology of districts of Altai and Oyrotia regions based on the results of cluster analysis of various groups of socio-economic development indicators. Additionally, she substantiates the hypothesis about the influence of the spatial factor on the intensity of repression: the groups of regions of each individual cluster consist mainly of adjacent regions.

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to justify areas and activities that contribute to increasing the level of sustainable socio-economic development of rural areas identified through strategic planning. During the research general scientific methods were used, including monographic, index, strategic planning, forecasting, analysis, comparison. The strategic directions for the development of rural areas are defined: improvement of the living conditions of the population, arrangement of rural areas by objects of social, engineering and road infrastructure. The scientific novelty of the study is the proposal of managerial decisions, reflected in the raise of individual indicators that contribute to increasing the level of sustainable socio-economic development of rural areas based on the identified directions. These indicators include: the value of the average monthly wage of employees, average annual population, agricultural production, the amount of investment in fixed capital, the level of gasification of rural settlements, the amount of housing space per rural resident, the level of provision in rural areas of preschool education. The growth rates of indicators were derived on the basis of the conducted analytical study for the period from 2010 to 2018 and the current economic situation. Based on the results of the long-term forecasting, higher sustainability indexes were calculated for each rural municipal district of the Chelyabinsk region. In general the index of sustainability of rural territories of the region will increase by 15.9 % to the end of 2030. The increase in the level of well-being and the improvement of the quality of life of the rural population is affected by the increase in the volume of agricultural production, population, investment, wages, the level of communal infrastructure provision and pre-school education. The practical application of this study results is the possibility of using the above calculations in the program and strategic documentation at the municipal and regional levels.

Introduction: The market of cars is an important indicator of the socio-economic well-being of the population, since the purchase of a car, as a rule, marks the achievement by individuals of full satisfaction of primary needs and stability in cash receipts. At the same time, conditions for the functioning of the passenger car market differ considerably in the regions, which complicates the effective management of the development of the passenger car market at the national level.Hypothesis of scientific research. It is assumed that the functioning of regional markets for passenger cars is largely determined by the influence of certain indicators of socio-economic development of the regions. Identification of the availability, nature and strength of the impact of indicators of socio-economic development of regions on the functioning of regional markets of passenger cars will improve the efficiency of management of the development of the national market of passenger cars.The purpose of the article is to develop the methodological principles of management of the national market of passenger cars through the development of methodical tools for the typology of regional markets of passenger cars.Methods of research: method of expert poll – to determine the list of indicators of socio-economic development of regions that influence the functioning of regional markets of passenger cars; the method of theoretical generalization – for the formation of the methodology of typology of regional markets of passenger cars on the most significant indicators of socio-economic development of regions.Results: the methodology of typology of regional markets of passenger cars was developed, which provides clusterization of passenger car markets at the regional level by types: "production oriented market", "socially oriented market", "trade-oriented market", "financially investment-oriented market", "innovative oriented market"," mixed market".Conclusions: the development of methodological tools for the typology of regional markets of passenger cars contributes to the further development of methodical principles of management of the national market of passenger cars in the direction of strengthening the target direction and, thus, increasing the effectiveness of managerial influence on the processes taking place in the market of passenger cars on the meso-, and at macro levels.

This study gives an overview of geo-economic and socio-economic perspectives of Balochistan. The research methodology of descriptive analysis is used to highlight the objectives of this study on thematic analysis outcomes. The findings of the study show paradoxical themes that Balochistan is the largest and resourceful yet the least developed province of Pakistan. The major portion of population comprises of youth but not skilled enough to find decent works for livelihood earnings. Political awareness is present, but the government is made on the consent of governments formed at federal level. Economic snapshots reveal that resource-rich attributes of the province are associated with the lowest socio-economic indices across all districts of the province. The natural cum geo-economic importance and resources abundance have not contributed for socio-economic development of this backward province of Balochistan. Unemployment, low skills development, zero industrialization and socio-economic backwardness are main economic issues responsible for the lowest development of the province. The policy recommendations include the implementation of comprehensive development policies for natural resource development, human capital formation of its labor force, coastal area development, development of Gwadar sea-port, enhancing capacity building of the provincial government departments, rule of law, investment for socio-economic development and mainstreaming the local population in macro decision making for the development of the least developed province of Balochistan.
