The Role of Socio-Economic Factors in Ensuring Economic Security

This research examines the role of socio-economic factors in ensuring economic security. It explores and analyzes factors such as employment – whose importance cannot be overstated – and its connection to another critical factor, population income, as well as the investment climate and international cooperation. Amid global instability and intensified competition in world markets, the issues of a state’s economic security have become increasingly urgent. Socio-economic factors, such as the level of social inequality, access to quality education and healthcare, and the state of social welfare systems, significantly influence a country’s economic resilience. The authors analyze these socio-economic factors, highlight key threats to economic security linked to socio-economic conditions, and offer practical recommendations to mitigate them. Economic security is understood as a state of the economy that ensures the protection of national interests, the ability to withstand external and internal crises, and the potential for economic growth aimed at improving citizens’ well-being. Particular attention is given to issues of government regulation and cross-sectoral cooperation in strengthening economic stability and protecting national interests.
