The article considers the essential features of rural development as a multi-vector process, which not only involves economic growth in rural areas, but also requires its adaptation to human behavior, social and political structure of rural communities and their involvement in development processes. It also reflects systemic positive changes in rural areas, which are initiated "from bottom" and supported "from top". In this concept of rural development, inclusiveness is inherent. The authors show that the development of the concept of "inclusive rural development" took place in the process of enrichment and specification of the theoretical concepts of sustainable development, inclusive growth and inclusive development in relation to the rural sector of society. This concept denotes a development whose result consists in the creation of proper conditions for the rural population for such purposes as: the use of land and other local resources in the economic activities; adequate distribution of the results of economic growth in the agriculture and other sectors of the rural economy; and participation in social and public life for the consolidation of communities and observance of human rights. Such development leads to the reduction of poverty, overcoming the economic, social and political exclusion of people residing in rural areas. It is pointed out that ensuring the inclusive development is a function of the state regulation of national economy. To implement it in Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure, first of all, the implementation, in the regulatory and legal framework, of the global goals of sustainable development and the objectives for their achievement. That could be realized by

Content of the concept of the rural sector as a socio-territorial subsystem of society is revealed. The key features of the subsystem are habitation of people in rural areas and their relationship with production and processing of agricultural products. It is proved that opportunities of rural residents and persons engaged in agriculture are limited in comparison with other citizens in terms of meeting their vital needs. Evolution of the term “inclusive development” in the context of its relationship to “inclusive growth” and “inclusive welfare” is considered. From the standpoint of inclusiveness, the socioeconomic situation in Ukraine’s agriculture in the Soviet period, in the years of active market transformations and at the present stage is characterized. It is shown that the extractive development of agriculture and rural areas gained an advantage at all stages, despite the declaration by political forces of the intentions to protect the interests of rural residents and producers of agricultural products, as well as the recommendations of scientists on realization of these interests. The extractive development was accompanied by resource-exhausting nature of management and restriction of real access of peasants to productive resources and distribution of benefits from their use. The necessity of transition to inclusive development in domestic rural sector is substantiated and conditions for this transition are revealed. Important factors in this should be: (i) Ukraine’s implementation of measures to ensure the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals proclaimed at the UN summit in 2015, and (ii) support and implementation of the ideas of the Declaration of the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas, draft of which is being discussed at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Розкрито суспільну значущість залучення членів особистих селянських господарств (ОСГ) до системи загальнообов'язкового державного соціального страхування та зміст необхідних для цього практичних заходів. Показано, що дане завдання найдоцільніше розв'язувати в контексті ширшої проблеми: створення сприятливих умов для добровільної трансформації ОСГ у сімейні фермерські господарства європейського зразка.

The essence of inclusive rural development (IRD) is revealed as a process of improving the quality of life in rural areas, in which everyone has the opportunity to realize their rights and potential in three interrelated areas - economic, social, and political. It is noted that a necessary condition for the IRD in the economic sphere is agricultural growth, the central link of which should be a peasant. At the same time, the social dimension of economic growth and mastering by rural residents the powers and opportunities to participate in decision-making processes are mandatory. Promoting inclusive rural development is the mission and the task of the state. It should focus on peasants, protecting their rights, and ensuring their participation in local development. An important step towards fulfilling this mission is the development and adoption of the Concept of Inclusive Rural Development and its further implementation. The purpose, tasks, driving forces, directions, and mechanisms of the transition of the rural sector of Ukraine to development on the basis of inclusiveness are formulated. The purpose of this process is to provide all rural residents, regardless of their social and financial status, location of their settlement, etc., conditions for the implementation of basic human rights, guaranteeing opportunities and ability to use land and other local resources, use quality public amenities in the long run. The main tasks are: strengthening the involvement of the rural population in the processes of economic growth in rural areas, improving the quality of human and social capital of the village, formation effective mechanisms for involving rural residents in the policy-making process. Among the driving forces is the orientation of the agricultural land market turnover to respect the right of rural residents to decent livelihoods at the place of residence; directing the development of infrastructure to improve the living conditions of residents of rural periphery; formation of effective rural institutions, etc.
