The results of regional decent work index assessment in Ukraine in 2017, which calculated by the developed method, are presented. The regional decent work index is an integral indicator and it covers the individual components of decent work: employment, wages, working conditions, social protection and social dialogue. A quantitative assessment of five components of index (subindexes) is performed with a state statistics data using. Based on the obtained results, the regions of Ukraine were grouped according to the best and worst values of the sub-indices of the regional decent work index, and tendencies of movement of the regions of Ukraine between these groups for five-year period are determined. The calculation of regional decent work index value allowed us to build the regions of Ukraine rating, which illustrate the territorial differences in the degree of decent work maintenance conditions. It was compared with the regions rating in terms of socio-economic development. The directions for improving the regional personnel policy that promote the spread of the decent work sphere and, as a result, ensure the region’s socio-economic development are substantiated.
