ABSTRACT
“Decent work and economic growth” were proclaimed as a Goal 8 within SDGs Framework aimed to promote sustained economic growth, higher levels of productivity and technological innovation. The disparities in regional development in EU and globally became one of the urgent topics in a sphere of labor productivity assessment and social policy making. The access to technologies and labour productivity are interrelated, and therefore, the labour costs differ from region to region. The shifts in economic development can be explained by difference in R&D activities and technological capabilities of different regions. The disproportions and disparities in regional development between different EU and non-EU countries are obvious when labor costs are considered. The civil society in Hegel's interpretation is historically a forming element of building a state. The overwhelming majority of calculations in different spheres of economy are connected with calculations of value indicators.
