Lithuanian government attempts to create equal opportunities for children who are brought up in different economic, social, and cultural conditions. The income of the majority of Lithuanian citizens still falls behind the European average. This study aims to examine the effect of household income on the choice of non-formal education activity of children and the costs of participation in sports. A questionnaire survey was public used on a website. Vilnius households (Ʃ = 136) were those whose 3-7 years old children were enrolled in non-formal sports activities. The survey aimed to find out the effect of household income on the selection of children’s non-formal sports education. Results showed that the importance level of a sports club, the sport, or activity selection criteria are more expressed in families with lower income. Survey revealed the annual (nine months) ten categories of expenses incurred by parents. The average parental costs for children’s sports activities per nine months amount to EUR 550, consisting of the membership fees and other costs. Parents tend to finance children’s non-formal education through sport irrespective of household income, i.e., parental predispositions towards their children’s participation in sports are much stronger compared to incurred expenses on sports activities.

“Say hello to Halo”: the halo effect in sports
Innovative Marketing Volume 15, 2019 Issue #3 pp. 116-129 Views: 1490 Downloads: 428 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯIn daily life, people tend to use mental shortcuts to simplify and speed up their decision-making processes. A halo effect exists if the impression created by a dominant attribute influences how other attributes of an object or subject are judged. It involves a cognitive bias that leads to distorted assessments. However, the halo effect has barely been researched in a sports-related context, although it can substantially contribute to understanding how sport fans think and behave. The objective of this paper is to answer the question that is of interest for both theory and practice of sports marketing: Is there a halo effect in sports? Does the sporting success or failure of a professional soccer team radiate or even outshine other sports-related and non-sports aspects and influence or distort how the club is perceived by its fans? Fans of six soccer clubs selected from the first German soccer league Bundesliga were interviewed. This paper presents the results of an empirical study based on a data set consisting of a total of 4,180 cases. The results of the analyses substantiate the distortion of the fans’ perception with regard to a very diverse range of aspects that is triggered by the sporting success or failure of their favorite club.

Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 18, 2021 Issue #1 pp. 101-113 Views: 719 Downloads: 363 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe institution of home ownership provides for the functioning of affordable housing for low-income people and new groups in need of social protection, including the reintegration of migrants to new places of residence.
The aim of the study is to substantiate the priorities of investments into affordable housing for internally displaced persons promoting their adaptation and social reintegration in the context of administrative-territorial decentralization.
The study is based on use of empirical, economic and statistical methods, which in the process of correlation, regression and canonical analysis showed that many indicators that characterize the housing market are closely correlated with the scale and development level of administrative units in Ukraine. To characterize the state and investment attractiveness of the residential real estate market, a set of indicators was used in the modeling: population, the number of employed, household income, regional domestic product, volume of commissioned housing, construction investments, regional human development index, total housing stock, housing prices in the regions of Ukraine and Kyiv. The most significant parameter that affects the volume of housing construction is the amount of investments into per capita housing construction.
The article also discusses the housing market situation, which differs in regions or some cities due to the significant differentiation of their development, which affects the ability to obtain affordable housing. The implementation of regional development programs should determine investment priorities of social protection, particularly the possibility of buy-out schemes through the mechanism of leasing of social housing by internally displaced persons.Acknowledgment

Modernization of the state labor market policy as a factor in overcoming the socio-economic crisis in Ukraine
Social and labour relations: theory and practice Volume 9, 2019 Issue #1 pp. 37-49 Views: 417 Downloads: 75 TO CITEThe relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to overcome the crisis of the Ukrainian labor market based on balancing state employment policy with other areas of social and economic policy, coordinated use of its tools aimed at forming a system of modern science-intensive jobs that meet the EU latest achievements and standards, especially in information and communication as well as digital economy. The purpose is to analyze the causes of the crisis in the domestic labor market, identify its climate dependence on the main macroeconomic and other factors and develop new approaches to the content and toolset of modern state employment policy. The processes in the labor market, their trends and driving forces are the study object. The research used methodological provisions of Keynesian and other theories and concepts of employment, graphical and correlation analysis, content analysis, classification-analytical and statistical-analytical methods. It has been proved that it is necessary to develop the internal market (by raising the incomes of the population) and raise the innovation-investment framework of employment based on increasing the reliability of the banking system, participation of the population in the stock market operations, develop non-governmental pension funds, credit unions, create real barriers against the money outflow, stimulate export activity of Ukrainian producers at the expense of competitive products with high added value. The use of the directions and instruments proposed in the article to modernize the state employment policy will help to overcome the labor market crisis, increase the population well-being, economic growth, and the country’s entry into the trajectory of sustainable socioeconomic development.
