Assessment of convergence processes of social-economic security indicators in latvian municipalities

Abstract

The aim of the research is to assess convergence processes of a social-economic security indicator in Latvian municipalities and its components in the period 2011-2015, calculated as an integral indicator on the basis of primary statistical indicators. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that social-economic security establishes not only the sustainable economic development of the country as a whole, but also the state of protection from internal and external threats. Municipalities, implementing their autonomous functions, are primary guarantors of social-economic security of the people. The convergence of social-economic security of municipalities implies the process of their convergence in time according to the values of the level of social-economic security.
