Introduction. Dynamic economic growth and improvement of the quality of life of the population throughout the country are the priorities of the state policies in modern Russia. Differences in natural and climatic conditions, sectoral specialization of the economy, and infrastructural constraints have caused the differentiation of interregional and intraregional socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipalities. The current measures of state regulation and support for the regions do not provide for overcoming inequality. Based on the results of the research conducted, the article formulates proposals on substantiation of tools that take into account the features of territories and the ways of their self-development. Materials and Methods. The research on inequality of municipalities was conducted on the basis of data from the territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Mordovia, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Entrepreneurship of the Republic of Mordovia, as well as from reports and strategic documents of municipalities. The empirical material was processed using the methods of comparison and grouping. The level of inequality of municipal territories was identified, which made it possible to substantiate the main directions and tools for their development. Results. An assessment of the socio-economic state of the municipal districts of the Republic of Mordovia has been carried out and the level of their differentiation has been revealed with the calculation of variation indicators; the administrative and territorial units have been grouped according to the demographic situation, the differences between them and the possibilities of self-development of each of the selected groups have been analyzed. Discussion and Conclusion. The tools to overcome inequality have been identified, taking into account the features of the municipalities, which require adjustments to municipal strategies for socio-economic development until 2025 and formulation of a concept for the spatial development of the Republic of Mordovia. Recommendations for activating some of the existing tools and developing new ones have been put forward. The results obtained can be used by local governments when updating the priorities for the development of territories and the applied tools of the economic mechanism of strategic management.

The article examines the investment potential of the territories of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the issues and investment distribution problems in them. Also, in the article predictions were made using programs of mathematical models of artificial neural networks in the analysis of distributions process problems,and the results were determined by comparing the results with trend and panel methods. Sustainable territorial socio-economic development is determined by general laws of country socio-economic development, the share of export products in the total output of the region, depending on the composition of the gross regional product, in key sectors of the economy is determined by features such as competitive product, scientific potential, population income. Therefore, the problems that arise in ensuring the socio-economic development of the region in modern conditions will have their own regional characteristics.Addressing the territorial socio-economic development problems require strengthening the regulatory role of the state in determining regional economic policy, governance, the development of effective systems, tools and methods of state regulation. Sustainable territorial socio-economic development also depends on the self-sufficiency level of resources and effective budget finance, credit, tax and price policies.

Introduction. Given the limited own resources of local self-government, it is important to ensure the effective functioning of the mechanism for providing investment subventions from the state budget. Such investment subventions include subventions for the formation of infrastructure in the united territorial communities and subventions for the implementation of measures of socio-economic development of separate territories. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the mechanism of providing and using investment subventions to local budgets in order to identify disadvantages and eliminate them. Results. Providing an “infrastructure” subvention to local budgets has strengthened the capacity of united territorial communities and to some extent improved the quality of services provided to the population. During 2016–2019, UAH 6.5 billion was allocated from the State Budget of Ukraine to local budgets for infrastructure development and 9475 projects were implemented. With the help of these subventions, schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics, cultural and sports institutions, water mains and roads were built and repaired, and specialized transport was purchased. However, in recent years, the role of this subvention has decreased significantly due to the fact that the number of UTCs that received an infrastructure subvention during 2016–2021 has increased significantly, and its volume has hardly changed. The amount of subventions from the state budget to local budgets for the implementation of measures for socio-economic development of certain territories has also decreased, which negatively affects the capacity of local governments in the field of investment projects. Conclusion. The volume of investment subventions remains insufficient, and their distribution is partly in a “manual mode”, which creates a favorable environment for political corruption and lobbying.

The system of regional development and the conceptual apparatus of the term “region” are analyzed. Modern problems of local budgets are revealed. The focus is on the low level of financial capacity of local budgets, which affects the state of solving current socio-economic problems, as well as the independence of local governments. At the same time, there are examples of inefficient use of budget funds, which are allowed by budget managers at the local level, which negatively affects the achievement of priority goals of socio-economic development of territories. Attention is focused on the need to improve the quality of management of managers and recipients of budget funds, including the use of program-targeted budgeting method. Emphasis was placed on the need to expand the tax capacity of the regions in filling local budget revenues. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of better use of budget policy instruments in improving the effectiveness of budget expenditures, ensuring sustainable dynamics of socio-economic development of regions, which will improve the level and quality of life.

Introduction. In Russia, the issue of disparity in the quality of life between the regions remains urgent. To a large extent, it is manifested in the regions themselves, and is due to an objective factor of geographical location. The purpose of this study is to give a rating assessment of the quality of life in the largest constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Materials and Methods. The information base of the study includes open data from the Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and the ratings by Profile magazine and RIA Rating agency. To assess the quality of life in the municipal districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the sum-of-the-places rating method was adopted. Results. According to the ranking of the municipal districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the leaders (the capital and industrially developed regions) and outsiders (areas in the Arctic zone of Yakutia) were identified. It has been revealed that despite the efforts undertaken by the regional authorities, there is a significant gap in the quality of life in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The study has shown that there is no official or generally accepted system for assessing the quality of life. Moreover, there is no common understanding of indicators that comprehensively characterize the quality of life. Discussion and Conclusion. The study has confirmed the thesis that industrial development in association with development of the territory and formation of the infrastructure help improve the quality of life. On the other hand, industrial development and increased urbanization exacerbate the problem of safety of residents and make relevant the issues related to the provision of quality housing in extreme climatic conditions. The results of the rating can be used by the government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the municipal authorities in order to provide solutions for managing the quality of life.

Quality Of The Population

Introduction. Improving the quality of the population is an important task for socio-economic development of the Russian Federation as a whole, as well as for its individual regions. Improvements in quality characteristics of the population can only be achieved by raising the quality and standard of living. The aim of this study is to identify the dependence of the quality of the population on the level of socio-economic development in a region and on the solution of socio-demographic problems (taking the Penza Region as an example). Materials and Methods. An analysis of statistical data from the Federal State Statistics Service for the Russian Federation and the Penza Region for 2005‒2018 was carried out. The methods of systems approach, comparative and demographic analysis, generalization, and statistical analysis were used to study the quality of population at the regional level. Results. Based on the analysis of primary statistical data, a high level of dependence of the quality of population of the Penza Region on demographic and socio-economic indicators of the region’s development has been identified and substantiated. The quality of the population of the Penza Region has been compared with other regions of Russia at the current stage and over time. The changes in the quality of population have revealed positive trends: an increase in the overall birth rate, reduction in the overall mortality rate, increasing natural growth rate of the population and life expectancy, growth of educational level of the population. At the same time, the natural growth rate of the population of the Penza Region has been much lower than the average level in Russia and below the indicators in the majority of constituent entities of the Volga Federal District, which is the most acute problem. Discussion and Conclusion. To date, the quality of the population of the Penza Region is a consequence of the increase in the level and quality of life in the region over the past 15 years, but in many respects it remains below the average Russian level. The results of this study can be used by the government of the Penza Region and other constituent entities of the Russian Federation when making decisions in the field of demographic and socio-economic policies.

Particular and general factors determine the dynamics and trends of endogenous development of three unrecognized and partially recognized republics of the Caucasus the Republic of South Ossetia (RSO), Abkhazia, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The article identifies critical factors and assesses prospects for endogenous socio-economic development of an unrecognized and partially recognized Republics of the Caucasus. It uses comparative and statistical methods, namely, one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Kraskel-Wallis Criterion. A database developed for this study uses a set of indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2007 to 2019 as a formalized universal and balanced system of global determinants. We found that differences in the achieved UN SDGs indicators can be accounted for by the variety of each state's initially socio-economic situation (the effect of a differentiated base). At the same time, the research shows that the dynamics of the development of the Caucasian republics are similar, which determines a commonality of trends of their future (while maintaining current conditions and circumstances). The study results expand our understanding of the development of unrecognized and partially recognized states. It shows that one has to consider this propensity of the Caucasian states to self-development when justifying measures for improving their socioeconomic situation and increasing the effectiveness of investment programs implemented jointly with the Russian Federation to promote the socio-economic development of the RSO and the Republic of Abkhazia.

The article presents a retrospective analysis of the state’s participation in the regulation of socio-economic processes. A wide range of opinions on state regulation of the development of socio-economic systems is presented. The views of economists on the regulation of socio-economic processes have evolved. Economic theories of substantiation of economic development and the role of the state in the regulation of socio-economic processes are considered: Keynesian, monetarist, institutional, theory of social choice, etc .. The views of modern scholars on the essence of state regulation are analyzed. It has been found that the authors reveal the essence of this concept differently and, as a result, each definition interprets the ultimate goal of state regulation differently. Scholars substantiate the need for state regulation for the realization of social interests of society; development of the social mode of production and improvement of the social development of the country; consider the goal of state regulation to stabilize and adapt the socio-economic system to changing conditions; define state regulation as a system of measures of different nature. State regulation is defined as a system of measures at different levels of public authorities in accordance with certain functions aimed at different spheres of life. It is noted that in the conditions of decentralization local self-government bodies have received more powers and more opportunities to solve problems of socio-economic development of territories. Therefore, the role of local governments, their decisions have a significant impact on the level of socio-economic development of territories.

The research was carried out to determine the essence, content and trends of social and economic development of rural areas in the Republic of Tatarstan. The work was carried out using general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, abstract-logical, monographic and comparative. The proceedings for the study was the data of the Territorial Branch of Federal State Statistics Service for the Republic of Tatarstan. It is shown that the development of rural areas of Tatarstan is influenced by structural changes in the agricultural sector, the growth of the number of peasant (farm) farms, the modernization of large agricultural organizations, ongoing measures to support other industries and social infrastructure of the village, the level of employment and life of rural residents. In 2019 at the disposal of peasant (farm) farms and individual entrepreneurs there were 306.1 thousand hectares of arable land, or 9 % of the national volume. The dominant role in improving the quality of life in rural areas is played by the degree of economic development, the amount of financial investment in production, in preserving the natural environment and improving the social sphere. In 2018, investments in fixed assets aimed at environmental protection and rational use of natural resources amounted to 5820.9 million rubles. The criterion for assessing the development of rural areas is a comprehensive indicator that includes the level of agricultural development, the efficiency of other industries and enterprises in the area, and the quality of use of other resources. From 2014 to 2018, the production of agricultural products in all categories of farms in the Republic of Tatarstan (in actual prices) increased from 184,289 to 22,6034 million rubles, or by 22.7 %. the number of students in schools and extended-day groups in rural areas increased from 10,260 to 11,646 people, or by 1,386 schoolchildren. Rural areas of Tatarstan are provided with industrial and social facilities, and work is underway to improve soil fertility. From 2014 to 2018 the use of mineral fertilizers per 1 ha of seeding increased from 47 to 55 kg, or 17.0 %

Introduction. The progressive development of peasant farm enterprises requires further improvement of the methods of state financial support to completely fulfil the potential of peasant farm enterprises as the best tool in using budgetary funds allocated to improve the quality of life of the rural population. This article is based on the study conducted and aims to identify the resources of peasant farm enterprises to increase employment and incomes of the population, as well as to develop a system of priority measures for long-term state financial support. Materials and Methods. The study analyzed the official data from the territorial body of the Federal State Statistics Service in the Republic of Mordovia and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Mordovia. To process the empirical material, economic and mathematical methods were used, as well as the those of comparison, groupings, and absolute differences. The set of methods used made it possible to characterize the dynamics and main trends in the development of peasant farm enterprises in the Republic of Mordovia, to study changes in their structure and specialization in terms of production concentration and efficiency, and also to assess the correlation between the amount of grants received and the volume of additional production. Results. The analysis of the organizational and economic conditions for the functioning of peasant farm enterprises in the Republic of Mordovia made it possible to assess the effectiveness of their grant support. The necessity of broadening state financial support in the form of grants and agro-startups for peasant farm enterprises, contributing to income growth, expanding consumer demand and increasing employment of the rural population, has been substantiated. Discussion and Conclusion. The proposed recommendations for improving state regulation will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the functioning of peasant farm enterprises in the Republic of Mordovia in order to improve the quality of life of the rural population. The results of the study will be useful to regional and municipal authorities when establishing territorial programs for the development of the agrarian sector of the economy.
