Introduction. The war of 2022—2023, with the still unclear end time, has caused large-scale instability in Ukraine in most, if not all spheres of society, state, and population.
Problem Statement. Studying the sociological nature on the ongoing changes gives grounds to speak about significant transformation in the "well rooted" cultural features of Ukrainian society, such as the governance gap and individualism against the background of a significant increase in trust in the government, increased interpersonal trust, reduced basic financial requirements etc. Thanks to these changes, the restructuring of socialization in Ukraine’s population took place against the background of the coincidence of personal and public interests.
Purpose. To study the causes of the pre-war contradictions and decreased trust in the government, as well as the ways to avoid them during the post-war (economic) recovery.
Material and Methods. The author have used materials and data of statistical observations of the State Employment Service, the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, as well as international and national sociological surveys and employed the following methods: abstract-logical, monographic, statistical and sociological observations, comparative, balance, and graphic ones.
Results. The research deals with various components of social and economic policy aimed at transforming the processes of socialization to promote long-term social and economic progress, using the window of opportunity that opens and will remain open for some time in post-war conditions.
Conclusions. The threat of the so-called "culture of poverty" as one of the possible forms of socialization in post-war conditions, with its negative consequences for the post-war recovery, can and should be overcome by supporting individual economic activities, which should be considered, in economic policy, basic life activities performed through the internalization of opportunities to expand the social base and to motivate by encouraging people’s interest in raising the level of satisfaction of individual needs.
