Purpose of research. The article examines the human potential of the Russian Federation in the context of the established second wave of the demographic crisis. The article analyzes the state of the number, composition and structure of the population of the Russian Federation during the first (1992–2012) and second demographic crisis (2016 and up to the present), taking into account the factors of population reproduction (birth rate and mortality) and migration inflows to the country. Factors and causes of external migration with the CIS countries are identified, as they have been and remain the main donors for replenishing the population of the Russian Federation. On the basis of analytical indicators of dynamics and methods of statistical relationships, an assessment of external migration growth and its impact on the country's economy is carried out. Special attention is paid to measures taken at the state level to stabilize and improve migration problems.Materials and methods. The information base of the study is statistical data and analytical information on external migration flows, based on statistical surveys conducted in the country. The methodological basis of the research is represented by statistical methods of information analysis: comparative analysis, structural and dynamic analysis, analysis of the interrelationships of migration and economic indicators.Results. The article analyzes in detail the results of current events in the country during periods of demographic decline and population growth since 1992. Due to the demographic policy implemented in the country, as well as the peculiarities of the age and gender structure of the population, it is proved that the main component for population growth is still the migration inflow. Special attention is paid to external labor migration in recent years. The impact of migration growth on economic indicators (unemployment rate, real wages, index of physical volume of GDP) and the development of the economy as a whole are estimated. Also, on the scale of the State National Policy Strategy being implemented until 2025, state measures to stabilize and improve the situation in the field of migration policy are presented and analyzed.Conclusion. Due to the fact that migration policy is a defining component of demographic policy, which is currently one of the priorities of the state's development, it is advisable to regularly study external migration as one of the most important sources of replenishment of human capital and hence the development of the country's economy. Therefore, the government of the Russian Federation should pay special attention to measures to attract foreign highly qualified labor force in active working age; providing foreign students who have successfully completed their studies and defended their diplomas in Russian universities with the opportunity to find a job in our country in order to obtain Russian citizenship and create a family in Russia. As well as carrying out regular monitoring studies on adaptation of foreign citizens, taking into account regional peculiarities of development of economy of our country, because today in the conditions of demographic decline of the Russian population it is one of the main sources of economic development on the geopolitical level, as labor potential – a basis for national economic growth.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the development of innovations on the economic security of the regions. Based on the assumption that innovative development plays a key role in the process of ensuring the economic security of the region, the authors proposed a system of indicators for assessing the innovative component of the economic security of the region, including the indicators of economic security reflected in the Decree «On the Strategy of Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030». The impact of innovations is realized through the achievement of the goals of ensuring the country's security, among which is the dynamic and progressive development of the economy. The authors proposed a methodology for assessing the innovative component of economic security based on the scoring method, developed an assessment scale for interpreting the results of calculations, assessed the innovative security of regional economic systems of the Federal Districts of Russia for the period 2015–2019. As a result of the analysis, factors were identified that hinder innovative development and negatively affect the provision of economic security at the regional level: underdevelopment, low efficiency of the innovation infrastructure, reduction of internal costs for research and development, a decrease in the number of developed advanced production technologies, and others. It has been established that the economic security of a region depends on its ability to perceive innovations, while institutional factors have a significant impact on the pace of development. The work has improved the methodological tools for diagnosing the innovative security of the regions of the Russian Federation by optimizing the system of criteria for its assessment. The results of the empirical studies carried out confirmed the possibility of practical use of the developed methodology for diagnosing the innovative security of the regions of the Russian Federation and identifying priority areas for its improvement.

Abstract. Taking into account the sanitary and epidemiological conditions in the Russian Federation associated with the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, the dynamics of occupational morbidity rates from exposure to a biological factor over the past 20 years and, in particular, for 2020 was analyzed. On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation, an analysis of the structure of occupational pathology in the Federal districts of Russia was carried out with an emphasis on the contribution of COVID-19. The obtained data on Federal districts with a high scatter of indicators can be explained by the initially high levels of occupational pathology in a number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as by the peculiarities of the spread of COVID-19, the suspension of the activities of occupational medicine centers, and various development of the algorithm for the examination of the connection between COVID-19 cases and working conditions for medical workers.

The article substantiates the impact of investment in infrastructure in general and public-private partnership (PPP) projects in particular on the level of economic welfare of the Russian Federation’s federal districts. Quantitative research, including correlation analysis and regression models, determines the direction and degree of influence of investments in PPP projects on the GRP per capita on the scale of each federal district. Correlation analysis revealed a close positive relationship between the target feature and the variable of interest for most federal districts of the Russian Federation. Regression models based on the calculation of GRP using the expenditure method and thus ensuring the relevance and interpretability of calculations show a significant positive impact of investments in PPP projects on the level of economic welfare in the Federal districts of the Russian Federation. The impact of investments in PPP projects on the target feature identified in the study allows us to recommend a forced increase in the number of infrastructure projects implemented on the PPP principles, taking into account the benefits from this mechanism for all economic entities.

The article shows the possibility of solving the problem of horizontal budget equalization withinthe framework of the Russian model of program budgeting, implemented through the system of federal, sub-federal governmental programs and municipal programs. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to solve two interrelated tasks: increasing the budgetary self-sufficiency of the subjects of the Russian Federation and redistributing intergovernmental transfers in accordance with their socio-economic characteristics. To solve the first task the necessity of providing the process of management (development, implementation and monitoring) of governmental and municipal programs with the proposed measures aimed at ensuring control of the ratio of budget expenditures for the implementation of social and commercial projects is substantiated. These measures should be complemented with a time-limited policy of redistributing intergovernmental transfers, taking into account the different socio-economic situation of the subjects of the Russian Federation. For this purpose, test indicators have been calculated to determine the extent to which the annual dynamics of the actual distribution of the volumes of intergovernmental transfers between the subjects of the Russian Federation for each of the eight federal districts for the period 2000–2018 corresponds to the criterion proposed by us in previous works. Those were the negative value of the Spearman's ordinal correlation coefficient between the variables “the share of non-repayable receipts” and “the budgetary self-sufficiency potential”. An attempt is made to establish a correlation relationship between the calculated values of these indicators and the socio-economic characteristics of the federal districts. It is concluded that for a correct assessment of the impact of governmental program budgetingon regional development, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of programs at all levels of the budgetary system of the Russian Federation in the context of a separate territory, i.e. subject of the Russian Federation or their group.

Subject. We investigate trends in the development of the largest steel companies in the Russian Federation. Objectives. The aim of the study is to conduct an industry-wide analysis of the production and economic activities of the largest domestic enterprises operating in the iron and steel industry. Methods. The study employs methods of comparative and system analysis, graphical and statistical methods for data processing. Results. We present the analysis of main production and economic indicators of the leading steel producers of the Russian Federation, i.e. NLMK, Severstal, MMK, and EVRAZ. The paper reveals their current status and key development trends. Conclusions. The largest Russian steel companies face serious challenges in both the domestic and foreign market. Competitive interactions in the domestic market as to the sale price of rolled metal and the share of presence are particularly sensitive. The threat of reduced supplies to export markets is also significant for Russian steel producers. It may entail insufficient utilization of capacities and potential loss of added value. The companies mainly export semi–finished goods and hot-rolled flat products, i.e. low-added value products. Products with high added value are usually delivered to the domestic market.

The topic of quantitative research on informal employment has a consistently high relevance both in the Russian Federation and in other countries due to its high dependence on cyclicality and crisis stages in economic dynamics of countries with any level of economic development. Developing effective government policy measures to overcome the negative impact of informal employment requires special attention in theoretical and applied research to assessing the factors and conditions of informal employment in the Russian Federation including at the regional level. Such effects of informal employment as a shortfall in taxes, potential losses in production efficiency, and negative social consequences are a concern for the authorities of the federal and regional levels. Development of quantitative indicators to determine the level of informal employment in the regions, taking into account their specifics in the general spatial and economic system of Russia are necessary to overcome these negative effects. The article proposes and tests methods for solving the problem of assessing the impact of hierarchical relationships on macroeconomic factors at the regional level of informal employment in constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Majority of the works on the study of informal employment are based on basic statistical methods of spatial-dynamic analysis, as well as on the now «traditional» methods of cluster and correlation-regression analysis. Without diminishing the merits of these methods, it should be noted that they are somewhat limited in identifying hidden structural connections and interdependencies in such a complex multidimensional phenomenon as informal employment. In order to substantiate the possibility of overcoming these limitations, the article proposes indicators of regional statistics that directly and indirectly characterize informal employment and also presents the possibilities of using the «random forest» method to identify groups of constituent entities of the Russian Federation that have similar macroeconomic factors of informal employment. The novelty of this method in terms of research objectives is that it allows one to assess the impact of macroeconomic indicators of regional development on the level of informal employment, taking into account the implicit, not predetermined by the initial hypotheses, hierarchical relationships of factor indicators. Based on the generalization of the studies presented in the literature, as well as the authors’ statistical calculations using Rosstat data, the authors came to the conclusion about the high importance of macroeconomic parameters of regional development and systemic relationships of macroeconomic indicators in substantiating the differentiation of the informal level across the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
