Title: New Tax Policy on Resumption of the Business Entities’ Activities
Abstract :
In the modern conditions of the complex general economic situation in all branches of the world economy, one of the crucial issues related to improving the state administration system’s efficiency is the need to revise the state’s tax policy, including improving and increasing the taxation mechanism’s efficiency. At the same time, it should be emphasized that improving the tax mechanism in the conditions of modern challenges and systemic reforms should provide for a clear determination of complex measures to transform the tax system, formed on the basis of a scientifically based tax policy as the budgetary theory’s component of the state development, in general, and the restoration of individual companies’ activities, in particular. Due to the systemic subjective and objective reasons for the ineffectiveness of the budgetary and tax support for the development of many states, the need for such transformations is caused by the necessity of changing the fundamentals of the state’s budgetary and tax development and the current tax system for the effective operation of business entities as the tax system’s central goal. During the research, abstraction, idealization, system-structural, comparative, logical-linguistic methods, analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction were applied to process scientific information on tax policy issues. Along with this, a questionnaire survey was used to clarify certain aspects of tax policy related to the resumption of business entities’ activities. Based on the research results, the features of resumption of business entities’ activities using the new tax policy’s tools were studied and certain practical aspects of this issue were clarified.
Title: Financial Aspects of Maintaining Business Activities in the Face of Unexpected Changes
Abstract :
In the context of the war, the external environment is characterized by a growing level of uncertainty. Rising energy prices, the closure of airspace in Ukraine, rising inflation, a 30% decline in GDP in 2022, and the destruction of infrastructure as well as supply chains have necessitated adjustments to the company’s operations and changes to its financial plan. The research aims to assess the financial aspects of doing business in the face of unexpected changes. The research methodology is based on the case study of a company that supplies energy resources to Ukraine. The main research methods used are in-depth interviews with the staff to assess the existing strategy, employee motivation system, efficiency of the organizational structure, and financial aspects of the company’s activities. The results demonstrate that an important stage in the development of a financial plan in wartime is the audit of business activities. It includes an understanding of the current state of the organizational, financial, and human aspects of the company’s functioning. An in-depth interview with the company’s personnel shows the level of effectiveness of the interaction of all these aspects of the business. Changes in the financial system involve organizational changes: company structure, motivation system, customer interaction, and service improvement. The study shows that the interaction of organizational, financial, and motivational components contributed to the synergy of the company’s resources and their mobilization in the face of the growing risks of a company’s crisis. Financial planning by business segments and precision in the distribution of employees’ responsibilities increases the level of motivation and involvement of staff in all business processes. Moreover, the distribution of centers and areas of responsibility should be linked to the incentives and motives of employees.
Title: Problems and Prospects of Improving the Banking System and its Impact on the Economy
Abstract :
The article analyzes management models of banking systems. The influencing factors presented in the analyzed models were analyzed. Research directions have been determined: innovative technologies in the e-banking system and management mechanisms aimed at customer orientation in conditions of high competition and a high degree of commercialization. A projection of trends in the development of banking services in a digital format was made in the system of transactions, payments, deposits in cryptocurrencies, and other banking operations. The trends confirmed the relevance of the development of digital technologies in banking systems. A simulation of banking systems management processes was carried out. In particular, the rates of deposits and loans were calculated by projecting the ratio of bank rate indicators for deposits and loans. Accordingly, the practical use of modeling processes of changes in the bank rate and changes in the pace of customer engagement is proposed. The direct proportional dependence of the rate on the rates of deposits and loans was determined. Such dependence allows for the implementation of management decisions regarding the development of a banking institution or the banking system based on modeling the process of changes associated with changes in the rate and the impact on the growth rates of the number of deposits and loans. In the perspective of further research, the analysis of other factors in the management system of the banking system is defined, in particular, their influence on the profitability of banking institutions and banking systems in the conditions of external challenges and innovative requ

Title: Features of Using the Opportunities of the Digital Environment of the Higher Educational Institution for the Development of Future Economists’ Professional Competence
Abstract :
The present academic paper is devoted to studying the degree of development of individual components of future economists’ professional competence in the digital environment of higher educational institutions. In the course of the research, the level of effectiveness of digitalization of higher educational institutions was studied. To assess the actual competence level of future specialists in the field of economics, a questionnaire survey of students - future economists in Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany, and France was conducted. Based on the analysis of the results, the qualifications of students - future economists were assessed, considering the features of labour markets in different countries. According to the research data, it has been established that apparent differences in the degree of digitization of higher education institutions can be observed in various countries, which affects the competence of future specialists. The difference in the degree of development of digital technologies in higher educational institutions causes the formation of a significant gap in the level of professionalism in general and digital competence, in
particular, among students of economic specialties. To carry out a highly-effective professional activity,an economist should possess relevant technical, digital, competency-based, and mathematical skills. The survey has revealed that the lack of critical thinking skills in the Czech Republic and Germany and active self-study among students - future economists is especially acute. According to the results of the survey, it has been established that the main reason for the lack of this type of skills is the insufficientnumber of academic hours allocated during the educational process for their formation, forasmuch as in the conditions of the digitalization of higher education, the time frame of training is limited. Along with this, a lack of development of social and communication skills that develop the professional competence of economists is observed in the Czech Republic, France and Germany.

Title: Formation of Business Cyber Security in Conditions of Instability of the Domestic Economy
Abstract :
The strengthening of the destabilizing influence of modern challenges and dangers leads to the emergence of significant risks and threats to Ukraine’s national security. It creates the need to protect the country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, for as much as the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of independent Ukraine caused an unprecedented crisis and critical conditions for the state’s functioning. The influence of these challenges and dangers on business structures, which are often subject to unauthorized interference in their activities by cybercriminals, is especially noticeable under such circumstances, which makes it necessary to ensure a high level of business cyber security. The purpose of the academic paper is to study the theoretical and applied principles of ensuring business cyber security in conditions of the domestic economy’s instability. The methodological base of the research comprises the following general scientific and special methods of economic analysis and scientific knowledge, namely: scientific abstraction, system analysis, synthesis, statistical analysis, comparison, analogies, classification, grouping, cluster analysis (based on the k-means method), graphic, tabular generalization and systematization. Based on the results of the conducted research, it can be stated that the cyber security of business in conditions of the domestic economy’s instability is characterized by an excessive influence of cyber risks and cyber threats. It has been established that the effectiveness of ensuring business cyber security depends on the level of the country’s development: highly developed countries have significantly higher cyber security indicators (USA: 0,919 - 1,000; Great Britain: 0,783 - 0,995; Germany: 0,679 – 0,974) than in developing countries (Moldova: 0,418 – 0,758; Belarus: 0,506 -0,592; Ukraine: 0,501 - 0,688). It has been proven that countries of the transitive type are unable to fully withstand the challenges and dangers of cyberspace, as a result of which business structures are exposed to malicious unauthorized encroachments by cybercriminals. The basic preventive and strategic measures to strengthen business cyber security are proposed, and the need for the codification of cyber law in Ukraine is substantiated.
Title: The Role of Internet Marketing in the Strategy of Forming Entrepreneurial Activity
Abstract :
The development of the information society determines the need to ensure the competitiveness of business activities through the implementation of Internet marketing mechanisms. Internet marketing is based on the implementation in practice of digital tools and technologies aimed at maximally complete, prompt, high-quality satisfaction of consumer needs. The article analyzes the development of digital technologies and digital society trends. Identifies trends in the growth of the number of Internet users, smartphone users, and the number of purchases made via the Internet. Statistical data and the trend line constructed in the article confirm the hypothesis of further scaling of the electronic sales system and, accordingly, the demand for Internet marketing tools and mechanisms. The article uses the method of grouping, separating parts from the whole, sand synthesis, which allowed segmentation of the target audience in modern markets. The segmentation carried out in the article made it possible to develop a matrix of segmentation of the target audience, which is grouped by factors of age, social status, interests, requests and values. By real practical results of advertising campaign analysis, three areas were identified: targeted advertising, contextual advertising, and social media marketing. Based on the ranking according to the target audience segmentation matrix, specific methodological recommendations for the practical implementation of the system of using marketing tools, depending on the type of target audience, have been developed. The developed recommendations determine the possibility of selecting the most effective types of advertising for each individual type of target audience, and the developed segmentation matrix, which contains a set of interests, requests, and values for each selected group, can be used to improve advertising campaigns and increase their effectiveness.

Title: Optimization of Operational and Financial Risks of Conducting Business Activities Under the Conditions of Changes and Sustainable Development
Abstract :
Risk is one of the main elements of any type of company’s activity, which should be taken into account when planning its development. It is impossible to completely eliminate risks from commercial activities, particularly, while the economic climate is changing. In addition, the company’s management cannot always successfully get out of risky situations, which can lead to negative consequences. This is precisely why the issue of optimizing operational and financial risks is given primary attention in the economic
literature nowadays. The purpose of the academic paper is to highlight in the scientific literature the main trends of work on optimizing operational and financial risks of management both under conditions of changes and during the company’s sustainable development, as well as establish the main practical aspects of the issue outlined. In the course of the research, an analytical and bibliographic method was used to study the scientific literature on the optimization of operational and financial risks in enterprise management. At the same time, induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis of information, system-structural, comparative, logical-linguistic methods, abstraction, and idealization were applied to study and process data. The research authors also conducted a questionnaire in online mode to clarify practically the most important issues related to risk management under conditions of changes and sustainable development. Based on the research results, the principal and most significant theoretical aspects of optimizing business operational and financial risks have been singled out, as well as the standpoints of enterprises’ heads regarding the key aspects of this issue have been investigated.
Title: Basic Framework for Introducing Space Activities for Security and Deffense
Abstract :
Article is devoted to defining the basic principles of implementation of space activities in Ukraine, the problems of their implementation in the interests of security and defence and ways to solve them. The purpose of the article is to develop ways of solving problems with the implementation of space activities in the interests of security and defence of Ukraine on the, basis of principles defined by law. The analysis of the experience of the leading countries that use space technologies in the military sphere and, the current, status of space activities in Ukraine identified the problems of space activities in the interests of security and defence, and developed ways of solving them. The study found that the Ukrainian space industry is unable to ensure the security and defence capabilities of Ukraine. This is due to: the lack of a satellite constellation of its own, the lack of co-operation between the State Space Agency (SSA) and the armed forces of Ukraine, a systematic approach to law reform, unstable and insufficient funding, the lack of independent access to space, unprofitable State space enterprises. In order to solve these problems, the authors propose to create Ukraine’s own Satellite constellation, include the State Space Agency in the security and defence sector, draft and adopt a Space Code, attract foreign companies to continue the commercialization of space activities, reorganize the existing enterprises, create an indigenous rocket complex. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained results for increasing the country’s defence capability in the military and, post-war period.

Title: Ecological and Economic Assessment of the Possibilities of Public-private Partnerships at the National and Local Levels to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Abstract :
The issue of reducing greenhouse gases is of concern to the international community, as the possibility of an environmental catastrophe in the next ten years is becoming more and more real. Therefore, the search for effective tools to regulate, control and monitor private sector activities is a pressing issue. The use of restrictions is ineffective and contributes to slowing down economic development. From this perspective, the importance of the study lies in the qualitative means of building a public-private partnership to address greenhouse gas issues. The importance of the article is due to the need to find mutually beneficial compromises between the state and the private sector to achieve global strategic goals. The article aims to study the environmental and economic feasibility of building an effective model of private-public relations in the area of greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Control over the private sector should be enshrined at the national level, and specialized decentralized public authorities should be established to monitor the activities of the corporate sector. The article focuses on the current environmental situation in European countries and Ukraine and outlines the most efficient model of interaction between private and public relations to overcome negative environmental consequences. The main tasks are to find optimal solutions for the functioning of the private sector and possible government intervention while minimizing negative economic consequences. The research methodology involves disclosing the theoretical and methodological foundations of publicprivate partnerships, conducting statistical analysis of environmental threats, and determining the most appropriate model of public-private partnerships. The results of the study can improve the interaction of public administration with the private sector, as well as create the most effective model of their interaction under internal socio-economic and geopolitical circumstances.
Title: Management of Financial and Economic Relations in the Conditions of Post-war Reconstruction of Ukraine
Abstract :
The consequences of a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and the world were negative transformations in the financial and economic systems. Financial and economic systems develop under conditions of the significant influence of external processes. Thus, the full-scale military invasion caused significant negative consequences for the financial and economic systems: a decrease in the level of entrepreneurial and investment activity, a decrease in the level of solvency, liquidity and profitability, as well as other financial and economic indicators. The article analyzes the trends and tendencies of the development of financial and economic systems in the conditions of external challenges. An analysis of financial and economic systems management models was carried out, the world’s leading experience in setting up management systems was carried out, and KPI was determined as the resulting factors of financial and economic activity. Based on the analysis of approaches to the formation of management models of financial
and economic systems, the resulting factors and their effects were determined. The weighting factors of influence factors were determined by analyzing the financial statistical reporting of national companies. A system of evaluating performance indicators has been developed by introducing an integral evaluation coefficient. Based on the evaluation, the ranking and zoning of the regions of Ukraine was carried out according to the indicator of the integral coefficient. On the basis of the calculations and the conducted analysis, methodical recommendations were developed for the practical implementation of the financial and economic activity management system in the process of post-war reconstruction.
Title: Application of International Political Sanctions as a Means of Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction
Abstract :
Modern challenges and dangers caused by the emergence of significant transnational phenomena and processes have intensified the development of such a direction of international organized crime and the greatest threat to international security as using weapons of mass destruction. The issue of using weapons of mass destruction has become especially acute and topical in the conditions of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. It is confirmed by the aggressor country’s repeated threats about its application’s intentions. This requires an in-depth study of countermeasures, which can be implemented in the form of international political sanctions. The purpose of the academic paper is to study the theoretical and applied principles and possibilities of using international political sanctions as a countermeasure against using weapons of mass destruction. The methodological basis of the research is based on applying general scientific and special methods of economic analysis and scientific knowledge, in particular: system analysis, synthesis, classification, scientific abstraction, statistical analysis, comparison, analogies, graphical, tabular, generalization and systematization. Based on the research results, it was established that applying international political sanctions is an effective and efficient tool for countering the use of weapons of mass destruction. The threat of using weapons of mass destruction has increased. This is proven by an active armed conflict on the European continent, during which threats to use weapons of mass destruction are repeatedly voiced. The largest numbers of weapons of mass destruction were found in the USA and Russia; the risks of their use cause an increase in the amount of funding for countermeasures, the total amount of which in 2022 in the USA reached 427,461 thousand US dollars. The necessity is substantiated, and the application of personal, financial, trade, diplomatic sanctions againstthe energy sector in order to counter using weapons of mass destruction is proposed.

Abstract :
Since Ukraine is at the initial stage of legal regulation of the exchange market, the study of foreign experience in the field of agricultural commodity exchange becomes crucial. The article aims to determine ways and directions for improving the legal regulation of agricultural commodity exchange in Ukraine with consideration of foreign experience in this field. The authors of this article analyzed the world models of legal regulation of exchange trade, identified their strengths and weaknesses, and established the features of the organization of such trade and trends in the exchange market development, which can be of avail for the development of measures aimed at improving domestic legislation in this field. The authors conclude that a legislative framework for the functioning of the agricultural exchange market in Ukraine needs to consider many global trends, including state control for preventing price imbalances in the field of commodity turnover, the financing of exchange contracts as a source of investment for the agricultural sector, stimulation of agricultural production in the country, and elimination of corruption while forming state reserves. The analysis of foreign experience in the field of agricultural commodity exchange indicates the need to unify the rules and legal regulation of the organization and activities of the stock and commodity exchanges in terms of their legal status, requirements for members, and the method of organizing and conducting trades.
Title: Reforming the Healthcare System to Sustainable Development Goals in the EU States
Abstract :
Despite the war, or maybe because of it, progress was made in the European integration process: in June 2022, Ukraine entered the status of an applicant for the EU state. Along with this, the requirements remain the same as before, and improving the level of medicine and healthcare is among them. The purpose of writing an academic paper was to familiarize Ukraine’s citizens with equal access to quality medical services, as a result of changes to orient the system and to place the patient in its center. The research methods were analysis, synthesis, generalization, explanation and data qualification. The regional office of the World Health Organization for Europe (WHO / Europe) became the first and main source for the disclosure of the topic outlined (World Health Organization). The present scientific work will reveal the possible consequences of European integration for Ukrainian medicine. It is important to understand that the arguments of this research are not entirely academic, because it is impossible to know when the war will end and whether Ukraine will not remain a buffer zone for the EU countries. Nevertheless, regardless of the development of events, it is important to critically assess the role of the European Union and its interests in Ukrain.
Title: State Policy of Cultural and Art Projects Funding as a Factor in the Stability of State Development in the Conditions of Globalization
Abstract :
The article considers the forms and methods of the practice of financial support for an important social sphere culture and art. The experience of financing this sphere as a whole and in the context of individual countries of the world is analyzed and summarized. It is substantiated that each country forms its own models of public financing, and there is a significant arsenal of tools for financial support of culture and arts, including those based on the principles of public-private partnership. Arguments are presented that culture and art represent a tool of the so-called “cultural diplomacy” and soft power, and the financing of cultural and artistic projects today, in the context of globalization and related geopolitical processes, is a very expedient component of ensuring national security.
Title: The Circular Economy Model and the Imperatives of its Implementation in Ukraine
Abstract :
In Ukrainian realities, the issue of implementing a circular economy is the most significant task for a country that is mainly focused on the extraction and processing of raw materials. The issue of applying the circular economy model and the possible imperatives of its implementation are formed on the basis of the realities of military operations and an unfavorable economic situation. The purpose of the research is to analyze the feasibility of implementing the circular economy, as well as the possible partial provision of its circulation based on using basic principles of functioning.

Title: Basic Framework for Introducing Space Activities for Security and Defence
Abstract :
Article is devoted to defining the basic principles of implementation of space activities in Ukraine, the problems of their implementation in the interests of security and defence and ways to solve them. The purpose of the article is to develop ways of solving problems with the implementation of space activities in the interests of security and defence of Ukraine on the, basis of principles defined by law. The analysis of the experience of the leading countries that use space technologies in the military sphere and, the current, status of space activities in Ukraine identified the problems of space activities in the interests of security and defence, and developed ways of solving them. The study found that the Ukrainian space industry is unable to ensure the security and defence capabilities of Ukraine. This is due to: the lack of a satellite constellation of its own, the lack of co-operation between the State Space Agency (SSA) and the armed forces of Ukraine, a systematic approach to law reform, unstable and insufficient funding, the lack of independent access to space, unprofitable State space enterprises. In order to solve these problems, the authors propose to create Ukraine’s own Satellite constellation, include the State Space Agency in the security and defence sector, draft and adopt a Space Code, attract foreign companies to continue the commercialization of space activities, reorganize the existing enterprises, create an indigenous rocket
complex. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained results for increasing the country’s defence capability in the military and, post-war period.
Title: State Business Support Programs in Wartime Conditions
Abstract :
The relevance of the stated topic is determined by the state’s goal of creating an environment capable of resuscitating business entities and saving them from bankruptcy to recover from the shock of the national economy. The article describes the government’s business support activities in Ukraine. The author presents and analyzes the existing state support programs, both those launched during martial law and those that have continued and transformed to meet the needs of the business. The author emphasizes the causeand- effect relationship of business problems in the context of Russia’s military aggression. The state aid in agribusiness, which constitutes the food security of the state, is systematized. To preserve/resuscitate a business, the state is obliged to create all conditions for its functioning and reproduction under new economic conditions. Based on general scientific and special methods, the author conducted a study of the content of state support under martial law. An important issue is to identify those business representatives who should be supported and discouraged, the so-called zombie firms. Based on the comparison of the scale of state aid and business problems, the author concludes that it should be supplemented and the existing anti-crisis measures and their preferential financing should be revised. The newest directions for further research should be to evaluate the effectiveness of state business support programs and establish clear criteria for selecting the most viable business entities.
Title: Application of Effective Means of Management in the Conditions of Military Operations
Abstract :
The system of legal support for the activities of local self-government bodies plays a decisive role in ensuring territorial development. The article analyzes the place of local self-government bodies in the system of ensuring territorial development. The analysis of the leading European experience made it possible to determine that the deregulation of territorial management processes is an effective mechanism for ensuring their development. The experience of the world’s leading countries in building legal systems for regulating the activities of local self-government bodies was analyzed. The role of local self-government bodies during political crises was defined. The lack of experience in the implementation of powers by local self-government bodies under martial law determined the need to analyze Ukrainian legislation and its practical implementation after the beginning of the full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The analysis of the legislation made it possible to determine the place of local self-government bodies in the processes of ensuring the urgent needs of the population during the period of martial law. The analysis of the needs of the population was carried out by accumulating the results of a sociological survey among Ukrainians conducted after the start of a full-scale military invasion. Based on the assessment, a ranking matrix of the population’s requests was developed, which made it
possible to form the areas of work of local self-government bodies, which are defined as priorities in the conditions of martial law. Based on the analysis, methodical recommendations are proposed to improve the regulatory and legal regulation of the activities of local self-government bodies in the conditions of martial law.

Title: Economic Aspects of Ensuring Labor Safety in the Global Labor Market
Abstract :
Strengthening the globalization processes and intensifying their development generate numerous destabilizing factors significantly affecting the world market of labor capital and leading to irreversible destructive changes. Under such conditions, the issue of ensuring labor safety in the global labor capital market and creating relevant conditions for labor protection is highly urgent. The purpose of the academic paper is to conduct theoretical and applied studies of the economic aspects of ensuring labor safety in the
world market of labor capital. The methodological base of the research consists of general scientific and unique methods of economic analysis, in particular, as follows: scientific abstraction, system analysis, synthesis, statistical analysis, comparison, grouping, cluster analysis, tabular, graphic, generalization, and systematization. The obtained results of the conducted research make it possible to assert that ensuring labor safety in the world market of labor capital is difficult. It significantly depends on the country’s development level, which is proven by the example of certain European countries and the USA. It has been established that there are significant disproportions on the global market of labor capital in its development in modern conditions, leading to an increase in the unemployment level, a decrease in the employment level and wages. The most significant destabilizing factors of reducing labor safety in the global labor capital market were identified: the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale war
of Russia against Ukraine. The primary measures to increase labor safety indicators on the global labor capital market and to normalize its main parameters are proposed. They foresee a decrease in the number of workers who retire early and those who are disabled due to an accident and occupational disease, a reduction of economic and social expenditures for accidents and occupational diseases, in particular, due to intensifying the development of the insurance system; strengthening the ability of employees to increase labor productivity by improving health; creation of working conditions at enterprises capable of ensuring its safety through introducing innovations.
Title: Project Management in Supply Chains in the Context of Digitalization Processes
Abstract :
The modern development of digital technologies is transforming traditional approaches to project management. Therefore, there is a need to use unique platforms and applications that automate business processes and analyze data flows. Supply chains are a source of microeconomic stability for an enterprise in the global market. Uninterrupted business operation in the face of socio-economic and geopolitical instability is a critical factor in achieving competitive advantages in the chosen market segment. The
article aims to study the peculiarities of project management in supply chains in the context of digitization processes as a local concept. It contains a clear procedural order and is divided into some stages, during which specific analytical and business processes occur. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, the complexity of the supply chain, logistics routes, optimal choice of tariffs, and other factors of supply chain organization are highly variable. This creates a demand for high-quality software applications that analyze information promptly and allow for the most rational decision-making. Under such circumstances, the study results show the current features of project management and local project management in supply chains. They are mainly based on using particular digital infrastructure or information platforms that facilitate the work with such applications. In the context of unstable geographical suppliers and changing geopolitical leadership in commodity markets, it is a strategically important task for any enterprise. Moreover, the article examines the peculiarities of organizing a supply chain project, as well as the key critical stages of its functioning and the modern digital infrastructure used to manage such projects. The results of the study results also outline the prospects for the formation of digital technologies to ensure the stable operation of the corporate sector in selected market segments.

Title: The Application of Digitization in the Economy as a Promising Direction in the Growth of Human Capital
Abstract :
In scientific and technical progress development conditions, human capital acts as the basis for forming economic systems and ensuring their competitiveness at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. The article analyzes the factors influencing the processes of human capital formation, defined as a project of the World Bank. Trends in the development of society are analyzed, in particular, the formation of innovative approaches to developing economic systems - the introduction of digital technologies and the transformational transition to a qualitatively new economic level - the digital economy. The research determines the factors influencing the formation and development of human capital. By accumulating the study of literary sources, a set of influencing factors on the formation and development of human capital was formed. Hypotheses have been put forward regarding the interrelationships of factors influencing human capital factors influencing digital technologies. The hypothesis was confirmed by a sociological survey with control charts and correlation-regression analysis of their results. Mathematical confirmation of the hypothesis made it possible to develop proposals for implementing the function of the dependence of influencing factors on the formation and development of human capital with the definition of digital technologies. Based on the conducted research, a model of the interconnected effects of digital technologies and human capital development was developed. The proposed model can be used to develop human capital to ensure the competitiveness of economic systems and ensure the sustainable development of society.

Title: New Information Technologies in Improving the Population’s Information Culture
Abstract :
In today’s information society, increasing the population’s information culture as a way of developing society and civilization becomes very important. The reason is that global transformations are taking place practically in all spheres of activity in all developed, developing, and underdeveloped countries. This article aims to assess the state of information culture in society. Methodology: The method of statistical analysis helps to assess information technology skills according to the OECD classification. The investigation revealed mutual correlations between such indicators as basic critical, strategic thinking process skills and the ability to learn actively and solve complex problems. Results: At the beginning of the study, information technology and information skills are classified according to different characteristics: operational, formal, information, strategic, technical, and cognitive abilities in using technology. The article assessed the technical skills of the population, including the ability to use computer equipment.
In addition, the research set system skills, which consist of the ability to make decisions and evaluate situations. Based on the analysis results using induction and deduction methods, comprehensive problem solutions are proposed. The totality of the obtained research allows understanding of the ability of the population to use technology, which affects the development of the society’s information culture. According to the study results, it is found that there is a lack of basic process skills in society. At the same time, system skills directly affect the ability to solve various needs. At the same time, there are enough technical skills that help even repair the equipment and solve simple technical problems. It is also determined that, in general, the working population has sufficiently developed critical thinking and can solve complex problems and comprehensively assess the situation.
