Abstract

Research and modeling of the knowledge society is very important from the point of view of the country's transition to a new improved standard of living and economic, social and technological cooperation. In this article, the basic principles of the k-society modeling, problem of missing statistical data and methods to recover these data were considered. In addition, the model's component, the index of social dynamics and prospects of development, was analyzed in detail and constructed for 126 countries. Analysis of the results was presented for the current rating system and the dynamics for the past 10 years for 10 leading countries, 10 outsider countries, and Ukraine. This index correlates reasonably well with the index of economic measurement of sustainable development that demonstrates the feasibility and importance of research in this area which helps to create the development strategy by using k-society models.
