This research article studies the problem of inconsistency of higher-educated personnel training structure to the current and future sectoral specialization of the Russian economy. One of the key tasks of the higher education system in any country is to train personnel who would be demanded by economy in the future. The responsibility for balancing the structure of training higher-educated personnel with the needs of organizations and various industries lies both on the government authorities and on the universities themselves. The authors analyze the correspondence of the structure of training personnel with higher education to the current and future needs of the socio-economic development of Russia in general and its regions in particular. In the course of the study, the structure of training personnel with higher education by enlarged groups of specialties and training programs has been compared with the current and prospective structure of the gross regional product, as well as with the distribution of the employed by sectors of the economy of all Russian Federation constituent entities. The results of the analysis by federal districts are based on the data obtained for the constituent entities, and make it possible to assess the imbalance in the structure of training personnel with higher education, to formulate possible reasons for the existing imbalances at the regional, federal, and universities’ levels. The study is based on the documents of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia concerning the distribution of admission control figures by the Russian Federation entities and enlarged groups of specialties and training programs, aswell as on the information from the Federal State Statistics Service. For most regions of Russia, the results of the analysis revealed the problem of inconsistency between higher-educated personnel training structure and the structure of the need for personnel as determined by the goals and objectives of socio-economic development. A possible way to solve this problem is to revise the universities’ development programs with due consideration of the long-term regional development prospects supported by a system of institutional measures on the part of education authorities, industries, and regions.

Introduction. The policy of the European Union and many other countries in the field of education and training of personnel with applied qualifications is traditionally focused on the needs of the economy of territories and the competitiveness of enterprises. Currently, a new organisational and managerial model is being approved in the Russian Federation, related to the world practice of innovative management. Some specific management tools of the targeted focus of VET systems on the needs of the economy have repeatedly been the subject of study. However, it has not been decided yet what specific sets of management tools should be used and how to effectively achieve the dynamic balance of personnel supply and demand in regional labour markets.Aim. The present research aimed to establish the features of the targeted managerial focusing of the activities of the regional VET systems on the needs of the socio-economic development of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.Methodology and research methods. The research methodology is based on the following principles and approaches: system- and activity-based analysis of social objects, comparative analysis and modelling of social systems. The authors applied the metrological principle to compare the obtained values of indicators/indicators of the activity of VET systems with the “standard”, which is used as threshold values set by the method of expert assessments or by average values of indicators in current Russian monitoring studies. Aggregated indices were calculated as sums of normalised values of corresponding indicators groups.The following research methods were applied: questioning, expert assessment method, scaling, web analysis, content analysis of documents, methods of mathematical statistics in the processing of sociological data, methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparison, and abstraction in the interpretation of research results.The data sources were open-source databases (websites of the government of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, educational authorities, and professional educational organisations); statistical information; expert assessments of regional specialists and specialists of executive authorities in the field of education.Results and scientific novelty. As a result of the study, it was found that the management focus tools of the pilot regional VET system do not fully correspond to the needs of regionally oriented development. Regional differentiation is significant in accordance with most of the parameters, which characterise management tools for orienting the activities of the VET systems to the demands of the external environment. The spread in the values of indicators for the pilot regions reaches 80 %. According to several indicators, the identified differences are due to the different economic conditions of the regions. However, most of the parameters, which characterise the adaptability of regional VET systems, are not related to the economic component of the development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and, are determined mainly by the factors of educational resources management and management models used by educational systems and individual professional educational organisations.Practical significance. The results obtained in the study make it possible to highlight the problem areas in the management of the VET system in the region and to identify reserves for enhancing the compliance of the conditions and results of the VET system and educational organisations with the needs of the socio-economic development of regions.

Aim. The presented study summarizes the results of the analysis of modern approaches to assessing the higher education system in terms of its impact on the social and economic indicators of a region, describing a stakeholder approach to the classification of factors of a university’s influence on regional development.Tasks. The study aims to consider approaches to examining the activities of universities in the context of their impact on the development of a territory; to comparatively analyze social and economic indicators of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the education level of the employed population; to update the list of groups of stakeholders of the higher education system and to describe the parameters of university influence on the objects of one of the groups.Methods. This study analyzes the existing approaches of Russian and foreign researchers to assessing the contribution of the higher education system to socio-economic development as well as official statistics on the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.Results. A considerable number of diverse factors characterizing the influence of the higher education system on socio-economic development are identified. The authors describe the contribution of universities to the development of human capital, innovative and economic development, social policy and environmental well-being of the region. It is noted that the university’s academic reputation affects the competitiveness of the city and facilitates active international cooperation. A comparison of statistics on the proportion of employees with higher education among the working population (DHE) with various indicators of economic and social development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation shows that many regions with a more skilled workforce have higher gross regional product (GRP) per capita, higher life expectancy at birth, and lower working-age mortality than regions with low DHE. There are also negative trends in the higher education system, such as the declining number of university teaching staff over the last ten years. A stakeholder approach to the classification of factors of university influence on regional development is proposed. A group of stakeholders of the higher education system defined as “society” is introduced. The parameters of university influence on this group are described.Conclusions. The existing influence of universities on the socio-economic development of territories makes it necessary to put issues related to creating conditions for the optimization of interaction between various groups of stakeholders of the higher education system on the federal and regional agendas.

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.

Effective Use

Introduction. Sustainable development is Russia's strategic goal at the national and regional levels. Currently, its key factor is innovation, which, in turn, is determined by the availability of sufficient amount of human capital, it being a set of knowledge, skills and abilities, including the ability of a person to generate ideas, create innovations, and bring them to production. Although Russia has a fairly large amount of human capital, its economy is experiencing difficulties in shifting to the innovation-driven model. Based on the conducted research, the article evaluates effectiveness of the use of human capital and analyzes the causes of the existing contradiction. Materials and Methods. The theoretical foundations of the study include the works of Russian and foreign academic economists, generalization and critical analysis of which made it possible to show the indirect impact of human capital on sustainable development. Based on data from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, its territorial offices and the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation, the efficiency of the use of human capital by Russian regions was calculated employing the index method and it was compared with the level of the socio-economic development. Results. The level of innovation activity in Russia’s regions remains low. Innovation has not become a driving force for sustainable development. One of the reasons for this is low effectiveness of the use of human capital. Calculations of this indicator, carried out according to the adopted methodology, make it possible to conclude that Russia’s regions use slightly more than half of the accumulated human capital. Consequently, there are reserves for boosting innovation activity. Indirectly, this is evidenced by the comparison of the level of socio-economic development of the region and the index of effectiveness of the use of human capital. Discussion and Conclusion. The conducted research makes it possible to conclude that increasing effectiveness of the use of human capital will contribute to the growth of innovation in the economy of the regions and thereby facilitate the transition to the model of sustainable development.

The Federal District, as the highest link in the economic zoning of the Russian Federation, is the most important element of the national economic system, which largely determines the features of its functioning. The article provides an overview of the internal differences of the federal districts of the Russian Federation in terms of gross regional product. This indicator is one of the most important indicators of the specificity of the socio-economic development of the regions, and also, to a certain extent, reflects the possibility of their balanced functioning. Based on the official data presented on the website of the Federal State Statistics Service, the federal districts of Russia were ranked according to the indicator under study and their typology was presented. Within the framework of this typology, groups are identified that reflect the differences between the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the distribution of gross regional product per capita in federal districts with its value above or below the average Russian level, respectively. Within each federal district, entities with maximum and minimum values of gross regional product per capita were identified. On this basis, an intra-district imbalance coefficient is calculated, reflecting the degree of the gap in the levels of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation within the corresponding federal district. A brief description of the federal districts belonging to two different types is given in terms of the balance of their socio-economic development. The general trend of dependence of the coefficient of intra-district imbalance on the level of regional development is shown. There are some features that need to be taken into account when formulating development programmes and strategies at the federal district gape.

The article analyzes the causes of priority development territories (TOR), discussed the benefits provided by the state to residents of the top, highlighted the steps of forming the top. The territory of the advanced social and economic development is understood to be part of the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation, including a closed administrative and territorial formation, in which, in accordance with the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, a special legal regime for the implementation of entrepreneurial and other activities is established to create favorable conditions for attracting investments, socio-economic development and the creation of comfortable conditions for the provision of livelihoods nosti population. The objectives of the creation of priority development areas are: the development of high-tech sectors of the economy, improving the competitiveness of the economy, creating new jobs and improving the quality of human resources, the alignment of the territorial imbalances, the production of new import-substituting and export-oriented products, and more. The need to attract investment to the territory, not only the problem of the Russian Federation regions and the country as a whole, has become another impetus for the creation of areas of advancing socio-economic development. For residents of the TOP, the following rights are provided: the right to release VAT from the duties of a taxpayer for 10 years from the date of obtaining the status of a TOP resident; establishment of a zero VAT rate in respect of goods (works, services) imported to the TOP for use by TOP residents; use of accelerated depreciation on the objects of depreciable property belonging to them; a lowered rate of corporate income tax. Thanks to the above measures, the cost reduction of business will be from 40%, which will be a huge incentive for business opening in the territories of Eastern Siberia and the Far East.

The Relationship

The article deals with the problem of the influence of the level of socio-economic development of Russian regions on demographic and migration processes. The relationship between economic indicators, the total population growth in the regions and its components-natural and migration growth during 2000-2017 are analyzed. The authors reveals the relationship between the dynamics of the gross regional product (GRP) and the population of the regions, as well as the factors that determine these processes. For the purposes of the study, a sample of “typical” regions was formed. In the process of its formation, national autonomies and remote territories with a more severe climate were excluded from the total number of subjects of the Russian Federation, where the development of demographic and migration processes may be determined by "atypical" factors for other regions of the Russian Federation (national-cultural, climatic, etc.). The article analyzes the causes of internal migration and features of socio-demographic development of subjects of the Russian Federation. The role of the Moscow region as an object of migration attraction is investigated, and the factors that deter and stimulate internal migration are considered. The official data of the Federal state statistics service for 2000-2017 were used as an information base for the study.

The article sheds light on various approaches that seek to determine how widespread poverty and life on a low income are in Ukraine nowadays. As a social phenomenon, poverty has traditionally been associated with destitution and living below the subsistence level set by the government. However, the author holds the view that life on a low income not only means living near or below the poverty line. There is another part of Ukraine’s population that should also be considered needy — those whose income is less than twice as the subsistence level, and most of them are also subject to socio-economic deprivation. Drawing upon the findings of a social survey conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine in 2019, the paper analyses the standard of living among different income groups. Particular attention is given to consumption patterns and social well-being of respondents in the lower income brackets. From the data, it can be inferred that living conditions of many Ukrainians are inadequate to sustain and develop human potential; furthermore, the low-income households have literally to struggle every day to make ends meet. The author brings into focus the main macroeconomic factors contributing to this situation and its adverse effect on the nation’s social potential. Some of the most common social consequences of living on a low income have been identified, such as limited consumption, a person’s dissatisfaction with life and his/her position in society. The above-mentioned survey also provides the estimates of how much the current subsistence level (with regard to Ukraine) should be. Having been made by different socio-demographic and occupational groups of Ukraine’s population, these estimates are a useful source of information — given that subsistence level is considered the basic social standard. According to the survey, all these figures are at variance with the official subsistence level, which is noticeably lower, and this indicates that the current subsistence level needs an upward revision. Today, the overall socio-economic situation in Ukraine is unfavourable for neoliberal economic reforms initiated by the government. Since these policies are primarily designed to reduce the role of state in managing the economy and implementing social welfare programmes, following this path will inevitably result in the entrenchment of mass poverty and in a major loss of Ukraine’s human potential, as well as labour force. The author argues that tackling the country’s chronic low income problem is only possible if a new strategy for socio-economic development is adopted, where social welfare is prioritised.
