The article is devoted to the study of the impact of specific macroeconomic indicators on the formation of revenues of non-governmental organizations from personal contributions of the Ukrainian population. The Revolution of Dignity and the outbreak of military actions in eastern Ukraine have led to an increase in the role of civil society in addressing social and economic problems and to a more active participation of Ukrainian population in the activities of non-governmental organizations (direct and indirect). The study of the volume and structure of the revenues of public organizations from private individuals indicated that there is a general tendency of increase concerning these revenues (both at from membership fees and the charity of individuals), but their structure has changed significantly (the share of membership fees in the structure of revenues of public organizations decreased from being 12.5% to 10.35%). At the same time, the share of charitable donations increased from 2.94% to 5.04%. Such changes are indicative of a gradual reorientation of support from the population from organizations aimed at satisfying the interests of their members only to those that are aimed at meeting needs of the general public. Having carried out the analysis, we have found that the amount of financial resources that the population directs to support public organizations of Ukraine per capita increased significantly from 4.77 UAH to 28,03 UAH. Such data substantiates the increase of public activity among Ukrainian population. The correlation and regression analysis has made it possible to research the peculiarities of impact of such factors as population size, inflation, average and minimum wages, and the number of employed on the formation of revenues of public organizations from private individuals. Accordingly, close relationships between the factors of impact and the resulting variable were discovered. It is important that such factors as inflation, and minimum and average wages are characterized by the direct relationship, while the population and the employed population are characterized by an inverse one. Note that there is multicollinearity between the factors of influence. Interdependence between specific macroeconomic indicators is a feature of the national economy. Respectively, the system of these factors in their totality influences the revenues of public organizations from private individuals. Given the constancy of relationships between factors, one should expect a further increase in the role of private individuals in the formation of the revenues of Ukrainian public organizations.

“…The public sector consists of organisations that deliver the goods and services of the government whether at a local or a national level. State organisations have a crucial role in the life of citizens and there is a continuous need for increased commitment to improve their activity (Fryer et al, 2007;Bayar et al, 2020;Borocki et al, 2019). The quality of government and public sector institutions significantly affects economic development and explain the differences in economic growth between countries (Tomorri et al, 2017).…”

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the public sector through indicators based on citizens' perceptions.Another aspect intended to be addressed through the questionnaire is the assessment of consumers'expectations of the public good, with issues related to the economy, legal and institutional framework, modernization of public administration, etc. The survey took place in Albania, wherein a number of questionnaires were delivered and fulfiled.In this context 16 variables were developed considering the sectors education, health, safety and security, law enforcement, transparency (information, accountability), property rights, investments and public utility services. The other purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in the perceptions of public sector performance that could come from different groups of interviewees, grouped by: gender (male or female), education (higher or secondary) and sector where the interviewee is employed (in the public or private sector). Evaluation of variables in this study are rated using Likerttype scale. Each variable is measured through items, which are estimated through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) as the most used technique in social sciences studies, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is implemented. Referring to the citizens' expectations, this paper will contribute to enhance the performance of the activities of public organizations and government institutions. In addition, the results of this study, aim to help policy-making structures to improve the performance of public administration in providing public services to citizens.

“…Nowadays, an essential vector of any country's development is to provide its sustainable development through implementation and adaptation of main ideas at the national level. In general, the sustainable development concept is based on the balancing of three key areas development: economic growth, social inclusion (Bayar et al, 2020;Androniceanu, 2019a) and environmental protection (Borocki et al, 2019). However, it is impossible to fulfil this task without the appropriate activities in the education sector.…”

Nowadays, we are becoming more and more convinced that the educational sphere cannot be underestimated and we do not pay enough attention to its development. After all, it is responsible for the formation of a well-developed and indifferent personality both in social and environmental problems, as well as qualified workers in accordance with the modern requirements of the world. In this context, optimal government regulation of education will contribute not only to economic growth and the acquisition of intellectual capital of the country, which will ensure its competitiveness and innovations, but also to balanced sustainable development, which is important on a planetary scale. This article is devoted to the analysis of the interrelation between indicators of state regulation of the education sector and the achievement of sustainable development goals. For this purpose, the method of integral indicators with elements of the method of principal components (for each sustainable development goal) was used, as well as regression models with fixed effects (to determine the presence and nature of the link between state regulation of the education and the goals of sustainable development). The basis for the study was the official data of 14 countries of Central and Eastern Europe for 2006-2016 years, which is presented as panel data. The obtained results made it possible to confirm the existence of such interrelation, where the most effective state instrument proved to be the state financing of the education sector.
