Evaluation of Demographic Component of Countries’ Economic Security

Abstract

Purpose – The article is aimed at evaluation of the patterns of demographic processes development in terms of their impact on shaping the level of countries’ economic security. Research methodology – The study is based on a multidimensional estimation technique, which proposes the development of an integral indicator of the demographic component of countries’ economic security. Stochastic research methods, in particular the t-test method, were used to identify and justify different hazard zones. Findings – On the basis of the formed sample of the countries, the integral indices of the level of the demographic component of countries’ economic security for the period of 2000–2018 were calculated. The thresholds of demographic security indicators were identified and reasoned; the countries’ security risks by demographic indicators were assessed; systematisation of countries according to the level of the demographic component of security was provided. Research limitations – It is proposed to include ten indicators in the structure of the index of the demographic component of economic security; these indicators characterise different aspects of the demographic processes development. However, this is not a complete list of possible valuation indicators. This determines the necessity of further studies in terms of justifying the advisability of including various parameters and assessing the degree of their importance in the structure of the demographic security index. Practical implications – The practical value of the results of the comprehensive analysis of the demographic processes development in the system of ensuring countries’ economic security is the possibility of identifying real or potential threats to the sustainable social and economic development of countries and regions of the world. Originality/Value – The authors’ improved methodology for assessing the level of economic security based on the demographic component consideration, taking into account the system of proposed indices, allows to assess the level of security, to monitor its changes and to identify factors that pose risks not only for one country but also for groups of countries both in regional dimension and in terms of the level of their development.

Algorithmic Framework for an Information System Ensuring Sustainable Development and National Security

“…The literature also highlights that mechanisms for managing information security are lagging considerably behind the current level of informatization. This discrepancy contributes to the rise in cybercrime, leading to severe, and occasionally irreversible, consequences for states, enterprises, societies, and individuals [9,10]. Researchers identify a broad spectrum of cybercrimes, encompassing crimes committed for financial gain and crimes related to the use of information stored in computers, tablets, and mobile phones, as well as crimes against the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of computer systems.…”

Social Responsibility: Opportunities for Integral Assessment and Analysis of Connections with Business Innovation

“…The topic of social responsibility, definition of its essence, principles, levels and methods of implementation at different hierarchical levels are characterized by the scientists' increasing interest [12][13][14][15][16]. Research in the field of ensuring sustainable development and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) has strengthened its relevance [5,17,18]. CSR and SDGs complement each other, as both concepts contribute to environmental protection and socio-economic development.…”

Public health and national security proxies: Case of European countries

“…An important vector of employment policy is to balance the market for educational services of medical workers and the labor market for specialists in the relevant field since the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the insufficient provision of the medical system with specific medical personnel for its effective work (Ginevičius et al, 2022;Smiianov et al, 2020). Lyeonov et al (2021), Saman (2022), Hrybinenko, Bulatova, & Zakharova, (2020), Bhandari (2023), Dotsenko & Kolomiiets (2022) define the social perspective of ensuring national security in terms of life expectancy, unemployment rate, human development index, etc. Șerban & Jianu (2023), Kryshtanovych et al (2020) suppose that social security is characterized by the number of years of schooling, the employment rate of the population, the income of the population, as well as the total domestic government expenditures on health care.…”
