Abstract |
|
|
| In this article, we examine the issue of identifying NGOs in institutional sectors of the economy, given their diverse
organizational forms, lack of standardized accounting practices, and their distribution across sectors, which results in a significant proportion of NGOs being statistically “invisible.” This study aims to highlight the challenges related to NGO identification, assess their statistical visibility, and evaluate their contributions to the "third sector." Utilizing methods such as system analysis, comparative-legal analysis, graphical data presentation, and statistical analysis of non-profit organizations share in Ukraine’s GDP from 2016 to 2023, the findings reveal that many NGOs are categorized under corporate and government sectors, leading to a loss of their unique identity. The analysis shows that the share of non-profit organizations serving households in Ukraine’s GDP ranged from 0.8% to 1.9% during the study period. Furthermore, international approaches to satellite accounts for NGOs suggest a promising avenue for enhancing the transparency and completeness of statistical data. Ultimately, the study concludes that the actual scale of the third sectors activities significantly surpasses recorded statistics, underscoring the necessity of adopting a satellite account methodology to
accurately assess the economic and social contributions of NGOs. |
