TRUST AS A BASIC PRINCIPLE OF INCLUSIVE ECONOMY: ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES

Abstract

The article reveals theoretical approaches to the understanding of the inclusive economy as one of the possible vectors of social transformation. The goal is to determine the role of trust in the inclusive economy, ways to analyze it from a sociological point of view. The research methodology is based on a synthesis of approaches to the inclusive economy and an analysis of methods for studying trust. The conclusion is made about the high importance of an inclusive economy for the welfare of society. This is achieved by reducing inequality and integrating socially vulnerable groups. At the same time, trust is seen as a basic principle for the functioning of this model, because the barriers to inclusion are associated with its deficit, such as stigmatization. An analysis of the methodologies for studying trust shows a wide measuring potential in describing its interrelationship with economic and political trends. Nevertheless, there is a limitation in analyzing the social mechanisms of confidence formation. The activity-phenomenological approach is offered as an alternative methodological tool. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the study creates the prerequisites for the development of sociological methods for analyzing trust in the economy. Today, inclusiveness is becoming one of the leading parameters of development, which plays a decisive role in shaping the quality of life of the country's population in such a way that its level satisfies all representatives of society, all strata of the population. Inclusive development, first of all, involves inclusive growth, which, unlike the traditional interpretation of economic growth, has broader goals than increasing incomes and GDP, it is focused on human development and increasing the quality of life of the entire population. Ensuring inclusive growth can occur in two ways: firstly, by reducing inequality and poverty among the country's population, and secondly, by expanding the involvement and active participation in social reproduction of as many people as possible, in the broadest sense of all those who wish. Thus, the key aspects of inclusive growth, and on this basis inclusive development, are: first, investment in the nation's human capital; Comrade, an active social policy of the state, in particular the creation of new jobs, social protection of all sections of the population, especially vulnerable ones; thirdly, an effective structural policy aimed at the modernization of the national economy and fair redistribution of the social product both through a progressive tax policy and an active role of civil society and the activation of the participation of social institutions.
