description <p>The article is devoted to the study of socio-economic inequality as one of the key problems of the modern economic system. The author analyzes the evolution, scale and specificity of the manifestation of the phenomenon of inequality in the context of the intensification of economic globalization and the post-Fordist / neoliberal regime of capital accumulation in the global dimension. The national context of inequality is investigated on the example of Ukraine, as one of the post-Soviet countries, consistently implementing the principles of neoliberalism in practice throughout the post-Soviet period.</p> <p>The author pays attention to the study of the social consequences and changes in inequality in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that the intensification of negative trends in the development of society in the context of the corona-crisis is a natural consequence of the policy of the pre-pandemic period. The growth of poverty and inequality, as well as the generally negative consequences of the pandemic for the majority of the population, were largely the result of the depletion of state and public institutions in the context of neoliberalism. The way out of the current crisis lies in the implementation in practice of the public demand for building a more “equal” and just society in the interests of the majority of the population.</p> <p>The author bases her conclusions on a large array of domestic and foreign sources on this issue, as well as the results of public opinion polls. In particular, the article uses the data of sociological measurements of the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the sociological company Research &amp; BrandingGroup, as well as the international research company Ipsos, conducted in 2020-2021.</p>
