“…2 also shows that in addition to the financial sector, two knowledge-intensive service sectors, the information services sector and the scientific research sector, also made a consistently positive contribution to the between-sector inequality from 2003 to 2015. This suggests that the development of a knowledge-based economy in urban China may lead to a growing urban inequality (Liu et al, 2019). Moreover, the negative contribution of the urban construction sector to the between-sector inequality confirms our impression of that sector as an employer of low-paid workers, mostly rural migrants in Chinese cities.…”

Income inequality in urban China has attracted growing attention from China's urban researchers and policy makers. Whereas many studies have interrogated the pattern and process of the income gap in Chinese cities undergoing the institutional transformation from plan to market, relatively little is known about how such unequal distribution of income is related to China's ongoing structural transformation toward a post-industrial economy. Drawing on a decomposition methodology based on the Theil index, this study aimed to address this lacuna through an empirical investigation of China's urban wage inequality from a sectoral perspective. Our empirical study identified the low-wage manufacturing sector and the high-wage producer services sector as the two biggest contributors to urban wage inequality in China. Urban wage inequality within the producer services was found to be caused by the spatial concentration of a disproportionate number of high-paying jobs in a few developed, high-tier city-regions on the eastern coast. Our empirical findings have important implications for the formulation of policies to address the income inequality that plagues China's continuing urbanization.

“…A critical part of this topic is how we adopt an "inclusive" circular economy solution to cities. Inclusive development calls for attention to consider whether development progress is sufficiently widespread for the majority of a population to benefit [44,52,53]. illustrates a causal map of urban sustainability, inclusive city, and SDGs.…”

The concept of circular economy (CE) offers an innovative and systematical approach to address a number of urban sustainability issues, via exploring symbiotic ways to design circular urban systems and optimizing the materials and energy metabolism of cities, so as to mitigate environmental footprints. Urban sustainability is highlighted as a critical issue in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by United Nations; hence, in nature, circular economy could offer a number of solutions towards SDGs in urban scope. As trade-offs, circular economy also potentially causes negative impacts to business-asusual scenario, which is easily to be ignored. To highlight this scientific issue, this paper identified and matched the role of circular economy in realizing 17 SDGs in urban scope. How circular economy strategy could potentially affect the SDGs, whether positive or negative, were comprehensively evaluated. We expect such findings could support an equilibrium decision-making on circular economy promotion in cities, rather than an optimum solution to a single target under the triple bottom line of sustainability.

“…These components include internal factors (personal feelings), external factors (information, social environment, physical environment), personal factors (biological features and physiological needs of man, his habits), cognitive factors (skills, knowledge, feelings, personal identity), and socio-cultural factors (culture of the environment, income, political characteristics of the country of residence). It allows not only to do more effective segmentation of organic food markets based on consumers' motivations and values but also helps build as a roadmap for facilitating communications and collaborations between stakeholders on the way of achieving sustainable development goals economy (Lyulyov et al, 2019;Bilan et al, 2020;Hens et al, 2019;Samusevych et al, 2021;Tiutiunyk, 2018;Kuzior et al, 2021) and forming the inclusive economy (Carson, 2020;Gupta and Vegelin, 2016;Helne, 2021;Liu et al, 2020).…”

The article is devoted to considering an issue in the Ukrainian market regarding healthy behavior, particularly in the field of consumption and research of trends in the development of the segment of healthy products. The article's main purpose is to determine the predominant behavioral patterns of the population of Ukraine regarding the consumption of healthy foods. The study found a degree of consumer interest in healthy foods. The relationship between the level of happiness of the population and its activity to the consumption of products of the healthy food segment is modeled. The authors have identified the factors influencing the choice of products in the analyzed segment. The degree of consumer awareness of typical labels on products of a healthy segment is determined. According to the study results, recommendations are given on the expediency of using different information channels of interaction with consumers in the healthy food products market for forming inclusive marketing strategies. The methodological basis was a marketing study of Ukrainian citizens. Methods included online surveys in the form of questionnaires and offline surveys by respondents filling out printed questionnaires. The questions of the questionnaire were divided into blocks, which provided an opportunity to find out the respondents' attitudes towards the following groups of questions: a) interest in products of the healthy segment and general behavioral patterns when choosing products in this category; b) consumer awareness of the main types of labeling on the packaging of healthy segment products; c) consumer awareness of existing healthy food products on the market and the peculiarities of the purchase of these goods by an individual; d) the degree of trust in marketing channels of informing about healthy food products among the population of Ukraine. The results of the study may be useful to manufacturers in the segments of healthy foods. The material presented in the article will be of interest to representatives of related fields of activity and specialists involved in developing and implementing promotion strategies in the segment of health products.
