STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN COUNTRIES WITH ECONOMIES IN TRANSITION

The relevance of the topic of the scientific article is to study the position of countries with transition economies that are members of the European Union in the quality of life ratings presented by leading international rating companies. The research should adhere to the principle that the higher the quality of life of the population, the more developed the country is. The purpose of the research article is to develop a strategy for improving the quality of life of the population in countries with economies in transition. Eurostat data, data from international rating organizations such as Numbeo and InterNations, as well as the method of determining the physical quality of life index of the population, developed by Morris David Morris, were used to study the quality of life in European Union countries. According to the results of the study, the quality of life in the member states of the European Union with transition economies is somewhat different from the general statistical indicators of the quality of life in the economically developed EU countries. The main directions of the strategy to improve the quality of life in countries with economies in transition must be: increase in employment due to the formation and implementation of the mechanism of regulation of employment both urban and rural areas, as well as on the international labour market (will lead to lower unemployment);increasing human capital as a result of eliminating gender inequality in the labor market; improving the safety and professional level of the population's health; solving the problem of migration, in particular refugees who illegally enter the territory of the EU countries; increasing the level of social protection of the population in the framework of developing additional social assistance programs.
