112.The main indicators of the state of national security are designated in order to evaluate the level of national security and include:
—the level of unemployment (as a proportion of the economically active population);
—the decile coefficient (the correlation between the incomes of the top and bottom 10% of the population);
—the rate of growth of consumer prices;
—the level of the internal and external state debt as a percentage of GDP;
—the level of fiscal support for health, culture, education and science as a percentage of GDP;
