STATE POLICY MECHANISMS FOR STIMULATING INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY

Introduction.Inclusive economic development has emerged as a central paradigm in contemporary economic policy, reflecting the growing recognition that economic growth alone is insufficient to ensure long-term stability, resilience, and societal cohesion.Modern national economies operate in an environment characterized by heightened uncertainty stemming from technological change, demographic transitions, global economic shocks, pandemics, and geopolitical conflicts.Under these conditions, the interdependence between inclusive development and the national economic security becomes particularly pronounced.The paper situates inclusive development not merely as a social objective, but as a strategic foundation for the national economic security, emphasizing that exclusionary growth patterns generate structural vulnerabilities, weaken institutional legitimacy, and undermine sustainable development trajectories.By integrating insights from institutional economics, labor economics, social policy, and security-oriented economic analysis, the study advances a multidimensional understanding of inclusive development as a systemic response to both internal and external economic risks.Purpose.The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility and necessity of positioning national economy inclusive development as a core basis for the implementation of state economic security policy mechanisms.Specifically, the study aims to justify inclusive development as a functional pillar of national economic security by demonstrating how coordinated state policy mechanisms particularly in labor markets, social protection systems, fiscal redistribution, and institutional governance can mitigate structural inequalities, enhance economic participation, and strengthen resilience to shocks. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific and specific methods of economic phenomena and processes cognition. Therefore, the following methods have been applied: monographic (while the recent research on the state policy mechanisms for stimulating inclusive economic development in the context of national economic security study); logical generalization (while the essence of the state policy mechanisms conceptualizing the national economy inclusive development and economic security generalization); Unified Modeling Language (UML) (when the national economy inclusive development implementation general sequence diagram design); abstract-logical (when analyzing and visualizing the implementation of inclusive economic development in Ukraine); heuristic (when key scientific and research findings generalization and highlighting the future research area).Results.The study demonstrates that inclusive economic development and the national economic security are deeply interlinked and mutually reinforcing.Through an extensive review of theoretical and empirical literature, the research confirms that inclusive institutions, equitable labor-market arrangements, robust social protection systems, and effective fiscal redistribution contribute not only to improved social outcomes but also to macroeconomic stability and long-term growth sustainability.The analysis identifies key market and institutional failures such as information asymmetries, credit constraints, structural labor-ПРАКТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ БЕЗПЕКИ ДЕРЖАВИ Practical aspects of economic security of the state
