Keywords: population welfare, evaluation, GDP per capita, forecasting, wages, Holt's method

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problems of evaluation and forecasting of population well-being in Ukraine. The concept of population welfare as a multifaceted category is considered in the research. The indicators of economic growth are considered in detail, in particular, the gross domestic product per capita is visualized in dynamics and the predicted values of this indicator are illustrated in the article. An analysis of the dynamics of full-time employees wages in 2010–2022 was carried out, as well as a forecast of this indicator until 2026. The methods of forecasting economic indicators, in particular extrapolation methods, the method of analytical equalization are suggested and compared in the research. The quality of forecasts was evaluated using MAE, RMSE, RMSPE, MAPE indicators. In addition, the economic justification of the forecasting results is considered. Besides, the need for a professional and timely response of state institutions and the creation of favorable conditions for improving the level of indicators that are indicators of the well-being of the population was emphasized. The concept of population well-being is delineated, which is quite abstract, therefore, a large number of terms that describe it to one degree or another are indicated. So, it is stated that the terminological base includes concepts such as "standard of living", "quality of life", "level of well-being", "material situation", etc. The use of different terminology and different interpretations of the concept of population well-being is caused mainly by the fact that its understanding directly depends on the worldview, the level of development of society and the economy. However, it is obvious that such basic indicators as GDP per capita and wages of full-time workers are invariable components of all mentioned categories and concepts. Conclusions are made about the results of the research, in particular about the potential values of indicators of economic growth and wages. Thus, it is represented that forecasting GDP and salary indicators is a necessary stage for developing a further strategy for improving the well-being of the world's population.
