Compensatory Mechanisms for Strengthening the Resilience of Ukraine's Economy within the Framework of European Integration

The research focuses on assessing the resilience of Ukraine's socio-economic system amid European integration and global challenges. Its relevance lies in the need to establish compensation mechanisms to ensure economic stability in the face of external dependencies, economic shocks, and trust crises in public institutions. The subject of the study encompasses organizational forms and mechanisms for creating financial funds and material reserves aimed at mitigating the adverse impacts of crisis situations.

The study delves into methodological principles of economic system resilience, including the theory of compensation mechanisms. It examines the formation of institutions capable of maintaining stability through automatic economic stabilizers and applies international analytical tools to assess Ukraine's financial resilience. Additionally, it substantiates approaches to developing sustainable development indicators and algorithms for evaluating structural risks.

The findings demonstrate the internal and external shocks impacting Ukraine's economy and explore the industrial and agricultural sectors' capacity to maintain stability. Recommendations are presented for improving mechanisms for organizing production and social infrastructure, including support for organic agricultural production and sustainable development of the tourism industry.

The research concludes with an analysis of the role of government initiatives in addressing employment, social support, and demographic challenges within the context of Ukraine's European integration. Proposed measures include implementing targeted support programs, updating social standards, and developing infrastructure as mechanisms for enhancing economic resilience.
