The issues of improving the financial literacy of the population are currently receiving a lot of attention both at the international and national levels. Of particular relevance are financial literacy issues for the Russian Federation. Due to the peculiarities of the country's historical development, for most citizens of Russia, issues of personal financial planning, the principles of the functioning of financial markets, the possibility of investing savings remain obscure, as a result of this, the population can not fully use modern financial products and services, does not know their rights in the financial market and unable to protect them in accordance with the law. It should be noted that the problem of a low level of financial literacy of citizens is a problem at the national level, since a low level of financial literacy negatively affects the personal well-being of citizens, their financial potential, and accordingly prevents the development of the financial market, inhibiting investment processes in the economy. Under these conditions, increased interest in issues of financial education and financial literacy of citizens of the Russian Federation is logical and, since 2011, the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation have actively implemented a project “Promoting Improving the Level of Financial Literacy of the Population and Development of Financial Education in the Russian Federation”. One of the most important areas of the project is to increase the financial literacy of children and youth. Since the start of the project, a range of training materials has been developed in this area, professional development of school teachers, teachers of orphanages, college teachers is provided, and weeks of financial literacy are held. The result of the events was a significant increase in the level of financial literacy of Russian schoolchildren. In this regard, the experience of the Russian Federation in improving financial literacy of children and youth is of great interest.

The Object of the Study. The population of the Russian Federation divided into target groups. The Subject of the Study. Financial education of Russians, taking into account the characteristics of various target groups. The Purpose of the Study. Clarification of target groups of Russian citizens for the implementation of the financial education strategy. The Main Provisions of the Article. In today's reality, financial literacy is becoming a necessary skill for personal and social well-being. In the conditions of active development of the financial market, increasing financial literacy of the population provides citizens with the opportunity not only to effectively use various financial products and services, make profitable economic decisions, but also to be full participants in the entire socioeconomic system of the state. However, currently there is a fairly low level of financial literacy of Russians, and this trend is observed from year to year, due to the complexity of the financial market as a whole, an erroneous idea of the essence of certain concepts, and as a result, the construction of financial strategies in accordance with this understanding, and this may indirectly indicate the inefficiency of the current system for improving financial literacy of Russian citizens. To implement the strategy of improving financial literacy of the population, first of all, it is necessary to clearly understand who will receive the training. It is a well-thought-out classification of target groups that is the basis for building a system of financial education, forming a methodological basis, training specialists to broadcast financial knowledge and creating educational channels. According to the author, it is recommended to clarify and supplement the existing classification of target groups, approved by the current strategy for improving financial literacy in the Russian Federation for 2017-2023, by including such categories of citizens as preschoolers, citizens with disabilities, vulnerable segments of the population (orphans, children in orphanages and boarding schools), as well as to clarify the current structure of the "adult population" group, dividing it into low-income citizens and families, and citizens with medium and high incomes (including families). In addition, it is recommended to divide each target group by the level of available financial knowledge and skills, which will allow you to create a targeted, personalized, thoughtful training system that promotes financial literacy, awareness as well as evaluate the results of such training.

Subject. A region's economy growth is determined by the nature of a number of underlying economic processes, which include procedures for the financial market functions that play a crucial role. The function of financial institutions is most pronounced in the context of trends that are central to socio-economic development strategies. The article makes an attempt to systematize and highlight indicators, influencing and reflecting the essence of the economic category of finance, with an emphasis on social aspects. Objectives. The aim of the study is to review the economic category of finance in the context of indicators that have a significant impact on the nature of its function. Methods. I employ logical and systems approaches, methods of grouping, comparison, regression, and correlation analysis. The structured database of Rosstat official reporting served as information source. Results. The paper presents an economic-and-mathematical model of the financial market category. The model's functionality is sufficient to substantiate causal relationships between specific indicators. The proof was revealed empirically, based on the case of constituent entities of the Russian Federation that are part of the Siberian and the Volga Federal Districts, and using a dedicated software application. Conclusions. The developed theoretical, methodological and practical approaches, if used in practice, may help solve the problems of regional strategizing.
