The study calls for a review and improvement of practices in the use of “green” financial instruments, taking into account the international experience. The research paper is structured as follows: firstly, theoretical approaches to the essence of “green” finance are disclosed; secondly, the impact of “green” finance on social and environmental security is considered; thirdly, “green” finance is examined financial instruments to enhance national security in both the environmental and social spheres. The results of the study allowed to provide directions for the development of “green” finance in the context of social and environmental security in Ukraine, in particular, to strengthen the use of public-private partnerships, climate risk insurance and investment in education to create a skilled labor force in “green” finance.

Environmental problems are getting worse every year. The root cause of green finance is the climate change, pollution and the depletion of natural capital that threaten Russia’s competitiveness and productivity. Green financing means providing finance while enhancing the resource efficiency and reducing the impact on the environment and the global climate. Balanced adherence to financial, economic and environmental criteria is the main foundation. The new emerging financial instruments of a green economy do not have technical fundamental differences, but qualitatively form new conditions for the responsible investment process. The Russian green finance market emerged in 2018. The past period can be characterized by both a quantitative and a qualitative breakthrough in the system of green finance in Russia. At the same time, the issues of developing a mechanism of state support for the activities of non-profit organizations in the field of green finance, the participation of non-profit organizations in the implementation of environmental projects through the development of green financing instruments require consideration.

The purpose of the study is to the investigation of the characteristics of the green production in the context of ensuring national security. The authors used such research methods as analysis and synthesis, generalization, induction, a systematic approach. This paper proves the dual nature of the labor force involved in the formation of forward movement of the national economy, the state parameters of which are double as estimation criterion of the effectiveness of measures implemented. The combination of national security and the inseparable manifestation of the labor force status in this system are disclosed in the characteristics of the first as a whole system that allowed us to prove the mutually supportive component of national security. We highlighted the impact of production on health and employability directly during the production process and indirectly through the deterioration of habitat characteristics, as were the findings that had been supported by country-specific morbidity statistics, with a focus on regional specifics. The intensity of the integration the environmental component into production, which forms the ecological and ecologized types of the latter, supplemented by synchronization of implemented measures with the production process (in-process measures, follow-up measures, forestall measures). The paper also reflects the significance of compliance with proactive measures that complement the fulfillment of mandatory requirements ensuring the legitimacy of management and indicates the need of taking into account the specific characteristics of the territory of presence. The study based on evidence provided under the legislative and regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and materials on activities of Russian companies.

The paper considers the impact of the increase in retirement age on labor supply and economic growth. Combining own estimates of labor participation and demographic projections by the Rosstat, the authors predict marked fall in the labor force (by 5.6 million persons over 2016-2030). Labor demand is also going down but to a lesser degree. If vigorous measures are not implemented, the labor force shortage will reach 6% of the labor force by the period end, thus restraining economic growth. Even rapid and ambitious increase in the retirement age (by 1 year each year to 65 years for both men and women) can only partially mitigate the adverse consequences of demographic trends.

Russia’s entry into the top five economies of the world depends, among other things, on the development of the financial sector, being a necessary condition for the economic growth of a developed macroeconomic and macro-financial system. The financial sector represents a system of relationships for the effective collection and distribution of economic resources, their deployment according to public demand, reducing the risk of overproduction and overheating of the economy.Therefore, the subject of the research is the financial sector of the Russian economy.The purpose of the research was to formulate an approach to alleviating the risks of increasing financial costs in the real sector of the economy by reducing the impact of endogenous risks expressed as financial asset “bubbles” using the experience of developed countries in the monetary policy.The paper analyzes a macroeconomic model applied to the financial sector. It is established that the economic growth is determined by the growth and, more important, the qualitative development of the financial sector, which leads to two phenomena: overproduction in the real sector and an increase in asset prices in the financial sector, with a debt load in both the real and financial sectors. This results in decreasing the interest rate of the mega-regulator to near-zero values. In this case, since the mechanisms of the conventional monetary policy do not work, the unconventional monetary policy is used when the mega-regulator buys out derivative financial instruments from systemically important institutions. As a conclusion, given deflationally low rates, it is proposed that the megaregulator should issue its own derivative financial instruments and place them in the financial market.

The article defines the content of welfare as a measure of socially oriented efficiency of economic growth, which reflects the appropriate level of providing the population with material and spiritual goods with the formation of favourable conditions for human development and capitalization of human potential in a competitive mobile space. The modern theory of welfare testifies to the deepening of scientific discussions on the transformation of economic welfare into mobile and inclusive, as well as the opposition of competitive and social protection welfare policy. Another milestone in the evolution of welfare theory is the individualization of its provision. Conditions of competition and mobility increase the importance of households in providing their well-being with further reflection on the processes of economic growth of the community, region, and state. This gives grounds to actualize the issues of household welfare research and strengthening economic growth based on behavioural economics. The needs, interests, motives, and incentives determine the economic behaviour of households. At higher levels, it defines an economic culture that is closely linked to the national mentality. In this regard, the main models of economic and social behaviour of households – socialization, adaptation, integration, values, regulation, and the definition of financial development strategies are outlined. Theoretical approaches to the explanation of economic behaviour are generalized, namely religious-ethical, psychological, substantive theories, theories of motivations and acquired needs, process theories, theories of justice, and others. Based on the ideas of foreign scientists, the main determinants of the economic policy of households are proposed. Political, stabilizing, and economic determinants are distinguished in the group of general determinants. In the group of determinants directly related to households, the financial, demographic, cultural, social, empirical, and psychological are suggested. The author’s emphasis is placed on the importance of the impact of financial determinants of the households’ economic behaviour, the central place among which is occupied by savings.
