Journal Title: Проблеми економіки - Year 2015, Vol 2015, Issue 4
Abstract
The problem of needs has always been the focus of academic economists. A special place in the system of human needs is occupied by public (social) needs. The aim of the article is to analyze the conditions of formation, role and importance of public (social) needs in the structure of human needs. Human needs are the main driving force of social and economic development. Social needs reflect and influence the priorities of development, form the cultural space of a modern man. Therefore, the factors that build the structure of consumption in modern society ensuring its stable social and economic development require special attention. In today’s society the circle of essential needs is increasingly expanding, there occurs socialization of needs. They become social not only because they are satisfied by using the means generated in the process of socio-economic activities, but also because the whole process of satisfaction is associated with forms of social life. At the post-industrial stage of development in the structure of the needs of a modern man there start dominating social and cultural requirements actualized by the man’s striving for cultural identity. Along with the real needs reflecting the objective situation of human existence in the current social environment, there are also false, virtual needs artificially stimulated in people with different goals. Modern processes affecting the system of public needs are very dynamic and contradictory, so there is a need of their constant monitoring in order to skillfully redirect the society resource potential to achieve the priority goals of development. Social needs are not only able to reflect the specific historical conditions but also actively influence the nature of the processes, face the challenges of time and affect the stability and inclusion of social development by improving the life quality of both human and society.
