Purpose. To develop methodological framework for the assessment of social responsibility in the field of remuneration and its informational support in manufacturing by types of economic activity.Methodology. This paper draws on theoretical and methodological concerns of modern economics, research works by domes tic and foreign scientists with regard to issues of social and employment sphere, social responsibility, and decent work. While in vestigating the issue, the authors used the following research methods: generalisation, systematisation, analysis and synthesis (to analyse theoretical and methodological advances regarding the assessment of social responsibility in employment relations); sta tistical analysis (to diagnose informational support of implementing social responsibility); aggregation (to assess social responsibil ity in the field of remuneration); comparative analysis (to diagnose the level of social responsibility in the field of remuneration in manufacturing by types of economic activity); expert assessments (to substantiate the weighting coefficients of partial indices).findings. The research generalised and systematised approaches of scientists in terms of determining the content of social re sponsibility in employment relations, as well as analysed existing methodological framework for the assessment of social responsi bility and criteria of international standards in this field. Basing on the received data, the paper substantiated the indicators for the assessment of social responsibility in the field of remuneration with their distribution to incentives and disincentives. The authors developed an aggregate index to determine the level of social responsibility in the field of remuneration and tested its calculation with regard to manufacturing in Ukraine by types of economic activity.originality. The methodological framework of social responsibility assessment in the field of remuneration, which is based on the calculation of the aggregate index that uses incentives and disincentives, has been improved. Unlike the current practice, the methodological principles use the indicators that characterise the level of compliance with the requirements of legislation, as well as additional obligations, in terms of social responsibility concept.Practical value. The developed and substantiated methodological principles allow assessing the effectiveness of remuneration regulation in various types of economic activity, as well as the level of material wellbeing of employees with sufficient objectivity. The use of the social responsibility index in the field of remuneration allows determining "bottlenecks" in social policy basing on obtained partial and aggregate indicators and defining priority directions of social and employment sphere development. It will also serve as a basis for improving the interaction of social partners and substantiating their requirements and suggestions when concluding collective employment agreements at different levels.

Purpose:In order to make an informed choice of the most effective tools for ensuring the development of a competitive economy, it is important to take into account the links between macroeconomic indicators of progress and the most important components of knowledge management. In this regard, the aim of our study is to assess the relationship between knowledge management factors and economic growth in order to select the factors that most determine the positive changes in Gross national income per capita. Methodology/results: As a result of the systematization of the main international indices, which use knowledge management factors and the authors' correlation analysis of their relationships with GNI per capita, conclusions are made about the greatest effectiveness at the present stage of action, which results in skills development (such as the ability to work with new technologies and with people, flexibility and cooperation), innovative capacity, access to information and means of commu nication. Findings: The perception of these factors as determinants of economic development and the appropriate direction of the levers of economic policy will result in achieving the greatest economic efficiency on the basis of the development of the knowledge economy.
