Resume

The paper reflects on the assessment and analysis of life quality using objective and subjective indicators. The methodology the authors’ research is based on the theoretical study of scientific approaches to understanding the concept of «life quality», the conceptual bases of its measurement and on the Polish experience in empirical studies on relevant topics as well.
Using a special questionnaire survey the authors make clear the subjective assessments that reflect the individual perception of life quality by the adult population in Lviv region and are based on respondents’ personal values and perceptions. It is found out that on a 5-point scale, the average point of the satisfaction with life quality by the residents of the region is 4.07. Based on non-parametric methods of the analysis of relationships it is determined that the main factors of the overall satisfaction with life quality in Lviv region (Ukraine) include marital status, living conditions (accommodation) and a way of spending free time.
The results of the authors’ surveys and the others indicate that the level of education and its accordance with individual expectations is one of the main factors of increasing objective and subjective indicators of life quality at both the individual and regional and national levels.

Keywords:

life quality, subjective evaluation, education, education and inequality, Ukraine (Lviv region)

The conceptual contour of social infrastructure as a catalyst for the modernization of the socio-humanitarian space of Ukrainian regions has been explored. The own definition of the social infrastructure has been suggested. Approaches to classification of social infrastructure in regions of Ukraine have been substantiated. It was determined that education is the main element of the social infrastructure, which provides qualitative human development. It was established that the availability of education depends on the material base of educational institutions, the number of educational institutions, their equipment, the level of qualifications of staff, the possibility of using educational institutions and the quality of services they provide. The main barriers of equal access of the population of Ukrainian regions to education and the reasons of their occurrence have been considered. It was proved that the comprehensive human development through creating of a complex of vital goods necessary for expanded reproduction is the determinant of social infrastructure functioning.

In the article the issues of entrepreneurial activity conducting are investigated, in particular, the analysis of its reliability. The topicality of this issue is determined by the current special role of entrepreneurship in forming of the financial, economic and social development indicators of both the state as a whole and of its individual regions. The generalized analysis of the main statistical indicators of enterprises in Ukraine and Lviv oblast was performed for 2010 and 2016, and it showed that small and medium entrepreneurship is dominant in it.
Reliability of conducting business activity is one of the most important characteristics, therefore it is necessary to have an objective assessment of it. The author’s study of reliability as the ability of objects (processes) to maintain the necessary properties for a long period of time has shown that it is not sufficiently studied in relation to economic systems, and especially at the macro level – the level of region or of state.
In the paper the methodology for analyzing the reliability of entrepreneurial activity is proposed and tested on the example of statistics of small enterprises of Lviv region. The value of partial and integral index-coefficients of performance reliability estimation for the activity of small enterprises in Lviv region is received. The scale of assessing the degree of reliability of entrepreneurial activity is recommended, depending on the value of the reliability index. Conclusions regarding the directions of increasing the reliability of entrepreneurial activity at the regional level and the necessity of its analytical research are made. It is determined that the prospects of further investigation of this problem should concern certain types of activities, subjects of entrepreneurial activity, etc., using new qualitative methods of analysis and economic and mathematical methods.
