Charting paths for socio-economic revival in the wake of military turmoil

Abstract

The study aims to study socio-economic challenges and identify potential ways to restore the economy damaged by the war. This study employed a mixed-methods quantitative and qualitative approach. The quantitative data were obtained from publicly available national and international databases, including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ukrainian State Statistics Service, and Reports from NGOs and humanitarian agencies.The study combined statistical and content analysis to assess Ukraine's socio-economic challenges due to the military conflict. The military conflict is ongoing, and socio-economic challenges are continually evolving. Data collected at a certain time may not fully capture the long-term impacts or future developments. The article examines the need to integrate innovative approaches into the recovery process by implementing long-term strategies that create conditions for attracting international investments. The study's results emphasise the importance of the participation of international cooperation, the effective use of investments and the development of human capital to achieve sustainable economic growth. Military conflicts leave deep crises in the structure of national economies, causing significant damage to infrastructure and human capital and creating severe socioeconomic challenges. The research problem is to identify the economic recovery mechanism after the end of military operations in Ukraine.
