Resume

The basic prerequisites for the development of small business in mountain regions and the degree of their differentiation with other territories of the Carpathian region of Ukraine are generalized. The paper establishes that the increase of business activity of the population, increase of scale and efficiency of activity of small business entities as a source of job creation, increase of employment and increase of residents’ well-being are a significant untapped resource for the development of mountain regions of Ukraine. The main obstacles to the development of small business in the mountain regions of Ukraine, which accelerate the migration activity of the population in the course of conservation, are characterized. Based on the results of public polls, the causes that led to the deterioration of the functional characteristics of small business in the Carpathian region of Ukraine are identified and the deficiencies of the state migration policy in the context of mountain areas development are highlighted. The paper outlines the perspective directions of development and increase of functioning efficiency of small business in the mountain regions of the Carpathian region of Ukraine, including: opening of new business objects, starting their own business, including at the expense of employees, creation of clusters (other local integrated structures), launching and expanding cooperative practices, creating new business entities, increasing the number of employees in the small business sector. Measures have been developed to support and create an enabling environment for the development of small business as a leading factor in maintaining demo-reproductive potential and eliminating disparities in the socio-economic development of the mountainous regions of the Carpathian region of Ukraine. The whole set of measures is combined in several directions: improvement of financial resources for small business; improving the business environment for small business development; improvement of regulatory regulation of small business development.
