Unstable political processes, macroeconomic imbalances, economic inequalities of the
population and social problems of a general nature can be attributed to key issues in
the national economy of Ukraine.
These problems increase political polarization and erosion of social cohesion in
many developed countries. Solving the issues of developing a comprehensive model
of socio-economic development has caused the emergence of measuring the
inclusiveness of economic growth in the world.
According to the Europe 2020 strategy of economic growth [3], inclusiveness is
identified as one of the key priorities along with smart and sustainable development.
Thus, according to the World Economic Forum, a competitive economy with a
high level of employment is inclusive, in which each person is a center, and its
prosperity is a prerequisite for achieving a high level of economic development of the
country.
The Inclusive Development Index (IDI) [9], which today is implemented by WEF
analysts, is a comprehensive index of country ranking based on their combined key
performance indicators. Indicators of the quality of education and knowledge, basic
services and infrastructure, corruption and unhealthy competition, financial
intermediation in real sector investment, asset creation and entrepreneurship,
employment and remuneration for work and fiscal burden are the content indicators.
Subindeks include access, quality and equality of educational services and knowledge;
availability of basic and digital infrastructure, services and health infrastructure as
basic services and developed infrastructure; high political and business ethics, the level
of concentration of unhealthy competition in the detection of corruption and the
presence of unhealthy competition; the stability of the functioning of the financial
system and investment intermediation in the context of financial intermediation of
investments into the real sector; protection of property of small business, ownership of
real estate and financial assets aimed at creating assets and entrepreneurship;
productive employment, wages and other types of remuneration characterizing
employment and remuneration for work; the optimal fiscal burden in the tax code and
proper social protection.
According to the 2018 Inclusive Development Index (IDI) rating, the rating is
headed by Norway (1), with the best indicator of advanced or advanced economy
(Table 3). According to it, with equal indexes are Iceland and Luxembourg, then
Switzerland and Denmark. The ranking of emerging economies or emerging
economies is dominated by six European economies: Lithuania (1), Hungary (2),
Latvia (4), Poland (5), Croatia (7) and Romania (10).
For leaders of the IDI rating, membership in the EU is of particular importance.
This makes it possible to reduce the inequality of wealth and increase the median
income of households.
