Oleksandr Dluhopolskyi, Olga KravchukThe article examines current trends in the distribution of incomes of the Ukraine’s population under the conditions of the risks of martial law. The article includes an analysis of the latest research and publications on the issue, and also considers the practical aspects of the analysis of income distribution by key indicators: Gini index and Lorenz curve. The purpose of the article is to justify the current trends in the formation of the population's income in Ukraine in the conditions of combating the risks of wartime. The article examines the historical aspects of population income formation by representatives of various scientific schools, as well as analyzed statistical data on the aggregate resources of Ukrainian households, the differentiation of the population’s standard of living and its distribution by the level of average per capita income. The article provides an analysis of the existing parameters of the population’s income under the conditions of the introduction of martial law in Ukraine. In general, the real situation with economic inequality and poverty in Ukraine requires decisive actions from the government – from revising state social guarantees to reforms in the field of labor protection, encouraging retraining, mastering innovative (digital) products, comprehensive measures in the field of education, medicine, health care etc.
