National Metrology of the Cyclicity of Regional Human Development in Ukraine (1999-2017)

The article examines the trends of the "Demographic development of the regions of Ukraine" and "Population reproduction" components of the Regional Human Development Index (RHDI) in 1999-2017. The system of indicators and blocks of the National Methods of Measuring the Human Resource Development is given. Rating assessments of the components "Demographic development of regions of Ukraine" in 1999-2011 and the block "Population reproduction" in 2004-2011 were carried out. The dynamics of the rating assessments of the HRDI of the administrative regions that occupied the first 10 places were considered. It was found that the cyclicality of the activation of human development in the first 10 regions of Ukraine in 2012-2017 was formed by positive trends in the indicators of demographic development and population reproduction in the regions in 1999-2011. The fundamental shortcomings of the modern HRDI assessment methodology used since 2017 are revealed. The structure of the complex rating assessment algorithm of the RHDI, which is expedient to use in the post-war period, is presented.
