Social priorities and politics of post-war reconstructive recovery of Ukraine

In this article, we aimed to analyse the social priorities and directions of public policies for reconstruction of Ukraine. We focused on the relationships between labour market stability, social protection and long-term resilience. We aimed to examine how urgent measures during the war can be correlated with the country's reconstruction strategies, to ensure sustainable development and social cohesion. We addressed long-term social priorities and problems specific to the war period, highlighting the need to ensure a balance between the crisis and structural reforms. It is important to maintain the sustainability of employment and social protection in conditions of instability. Another important moment we considered the analysis of Ukraine's socio-economic stabilization policies from the perspective of sustainable development, with a focus on the analysis of the socio-economic and humanitarian consequences of the military invasion, labour market disruptions and increased social vulnerabilities. At the end of the paper, we focused on the directions of socio-economic policy aimed at increasing the quality of life and strengthening social protection. Therefore, the reconstruction of Ukraine needs strategies and policies that could combine long-term strategies to ensure inclusive economic and social security.
