Abstract
Government bureaucracy efficiency, and its attending cost for society, is one of the gravest issues currently facing
Ukraine. The low efficiency of Ukrainian government bureaucracy is caused by a merger of bureaucracy, political
power, and large, manipulating business interests. As a result, Ukraine faces a significantly depressed economy, a high
level of corruption, low property rights protection, and a pervasive lack of trust in the government in general. In order to
understand the true costs and benefits of government bureaucracy for the Ukrainian society, a methodology of
calculating bureaucracy specifically for Ukraine was developed. Previously unused indicators were added to provide
greater accuracy. The inefficiency of Ukrainian government bureaucracy was determined categorically. Paths to the
improvement of Ukrainian government bureaucracy efficiency were suggested.
