The nature and pace of social changes, global challenges and threats, the constant reproduction of social risks – all of these things speak to the problematic nature of the world’s current social portrait. This allows us to point out that today, despite all of civilization’s achievements, certain problems associated with the social well-being of a person, and society as a whole, remain unresolved. Social well-being is a multifactor construct, which itself is the result of a synthesis of causes and effects, a joining of objective and subjective factors; we are dealing with a systemic phenomenon, the categorization of which is distinguished by various facets and components which determine a person’s social well-being, the degree of public safety and modern value-normative implications. In conjunction these parameters define and bring a person’s social well-being to the forefront of the research and political agenda. The authors of this article insist that the study of the effect which objective processes occurring in society have on social well-being must be conducted in parallel with studying its subjective component, namely – a person’s subjective evaluation of this construct’s various aspects. Aside from that, special practical relevance is attributed to matters concerning the study of issues of social well-being in various social groups and cohorts, as well as within the regional context. Primorsky Krai, being part of the Far Eastern Federal District, possesses a distinct geographical, socio-economic and demographical specificity, while being an object of government strategic interests and goals; this is a territory where a plethora of innovative solutions aimed at stimulating the region’s socio-economic development are being initiated and implemented. Nonetheless, despite the government’s best efforts, the social effectiveness of these measures is not as pronounced as the current situation calls for them to be. The region is still in a state of demographic depression, with there being distinct sector-specific socio-economic and management issues. The article cites data collected by its authors while studying the subjective evaluation of the social well-being of Primorsky Krai’s population. A regional-scale quantitative study was conducted in May of 2019 by means of questionnaire survey (n=780). The results of this study of the population’s satisfaction with various aspects of life are generally favorable, with certain disparities having been recorded based on age and gender.

The article includes an analysis of the most significant trends in the socio-economic development of the Far Eastern Federal District in 2020 in the context of administrative units and main types of economic activity. The analysis is based on advanced statistical, analytical, and expert information. The article considers the most important factors and issues of the functioning of the real sector of the economy, the social sphere, and foreign economic activity in the conditions of uncertainty in the oil and foreign exchange markets, as well as the implementation of quarantine and restrictive measures due to the propagation of the coronavirus infection. There is a decrease in investment in Amur Oblast, Sakhalin Oblast, Primorsky Krai, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), which are the main ‘investment-intensive’ regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. There is still a significant industry asymmetry when it comes to attracting foreign direct investment, most of which is concentrated in the exploration and production of fuel and energy resources. The negative impact of macroeconomic shocks has led to a decrease in the volume of production in the industrial complex of the macroregion, especially affecting mechanical engineering, oil refining, and production of construction materials in Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai. The failure to implement the plans for the development of the railway infrastructure in the context of the growth of cargo flows to the seaports of the Far Eastern basin led to restrictions on cargo transportation. The reduction in the real monetary income of people in most regions of the Far Eastern Federal District is becoming a factor in reducing the attractiveness of the Far East as the high income area. The population of the macroregion has continued to decline not only due to migration outflow, but also due to natural population decline as a result of both factors of objective decline in the birth rate and the social and economic consequences of the pandemic

Для дальневосточных регионов российско-китайского приграничья на сегодняшний день значимы некоторые, не совсем благоприятные социальные тенденции, связанные с ухудшением различных аспектов повседневной жизни людей, включая плохое состояние социальной инфраструктуры, наличие больших трудностей в сфере труда и занятости, снижение реальных доходов населения и пр. В своём исследовании мы опирались на вторичный социологический анализ (в том числе с использованием статистических данных) и количественные методы (анкетный опрос). В целом выявленные проблемы и тренды существенно влияют на физическое и духовное воспроизводство населения. Их следует учитывать в качестве факторов, воздействующих на социальное условия жизни и миграционные стратегии жителей Дальнего Востока, что является принципиально важным для планирования региональной социальной политики. For the Far Eastern regions of the Russian-Chinese border to date, some important, not very favorable social trends associated with the deterioration of various aspects of the daily lives of people, including the poor state of social infrastructure, presence of major difficulties in the field of labor and employment, reduced real incomes, etc. In our research, we relied on secondary sociological analysis (including statistical data) and quantitative methods (questionnaire survey). In general, the identified problems and trends significantly affect the physical and spiritual reproduction of the population. They should be taken into account as factors that affect the social well-being and migration strategies of residents of the Far East, which is fundamentally important for planning regional social policy.

The article examines prevailing tendencies of social development in the Far-Eastern federal district during the period of active state policy for the advanced development of macro-region (2013–2020). On the basis of statistical information, the parameters reflecting the demographic dynamics and well-being of the population are analyzed in the context of the subjects of the Far-Eastern federal district. It was revealed that, despite the measures taken to stabilize the population and create comfortable conditions for attracting labor resources to the region, the downward trend of natural and migration movement of the population continues. It is shown that the persistence of an increased birth rate in national entities compared to the national average is accompanied by a decrease in the number of women of reproductive age and a drop in rates, including under the influence of adjusting reproductive attitudes against the background of a coronavirus infection pandemic, which is subsequently fraught with a transition to negative performance. It has been established that high mortality rates continue to persist in the macro-region, especially among people of working age, due to both the low standard of living and the poor development of the health infrastructure, which limits timely access to medical care. It is substantiated that the economic conditions during the study period did not contribute to the positive dynamics of the level of well-being of the population of the Far East, primarily due to the lack of growth in real cash income. A conclusion is made about the low probability of achieving the target social indicators stated in the official strategic documents for the development of the Far East.

The article presents an analysis of the dynamics of self-employed citizens of the Far-Eastern federal district. The quantitative effect as a result of introduction of a special tax regime «Tax on professional income» is presented. An assessment of expectations of the local authorities in the regions of the Far East from the introduction of special tax regime is given. A retrospective of status of the self-employed at the legislative level is presented. An assessment of the most rapidly developing spheres of activity of the self-employed is given, an attempt is made to draw up a social portrait of this category of citizens. The analysis of job search activity of the self-employed and their hiring by employers has been carried out. It is shown that as a result of lack of exhaustive concept of the category of «self-employed», enshrined at the legislative level, there is confusion with the self-identification of persons who consider themselves as self-employed citizens. In addition, there are a number of economic, legal and social problems that the self-employed face today. According to the author, development of the legislative activity in this direction (development of the state support programs, national projects in the field of small and medium-sized businesses, expansion of the rights of the self-employed, etc.), expansion of the economic and sociological research of this category of citizens (in particular, selective observation, compilation an exhaustive social portrait, inclusion of a large social group of self-employed in the social structure of the society) contributes to a more active «exit from the shadows», legalization of implementation of their own activities, overcoming difficulties arising on the way of self-employed, growth of trust in the authorities. The conclusions are formulated on the basis of results of a sociological survey of citizens.

The subject of this study is formation and effectiveness of measures of the state support for development of the economy of the Far-Eastern federal district of the Russian Federation. The article discusses measures of investment, infrastructural and financial support for the economic entities and the social sphere of the Far East, which have been formed in the recent years under the influence of the goals of its development, the structural transformation of the economy of the Far-Eastern regions and external challenges caused by financial and economic crises. Particular attention is paid to the measures of state support for development of the investment activities in the Far East, financial support for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as support for the economy in connection with the new challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic. The qualitative difference in external challenges, crisis phenomena associated with the economic, financial reasons, as well as the causes of the crisis caused by a viral pandemic require constant transformation and development of mechanisms and measures to support the economy. Difference in the reasons entails fundamental differences in the means of ensuring recovery growth. It is shown that the constant adjustment and readjustment of measures to support the development of the Far Eastern economy and business, the variety of measures proposed to accelerate the development of the economy and create a new quality of life for the population of the Far East did not become a driver of accelerated growth. New challenges can become a platform for the further transformation of structure of the Far-Eastern economy and make it necessary to adjust the priorities, tools and measures to support development of the Far-Eastern economy.

Labor Potential

The article deals with the problem of reducing the total population and reducing labor potential in the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation. Among the reasons that influence this process, a relatively low standard of living of the population is identified (lagging behind the average Russian population shares with incomes below the subsistence level, unemployment and access to social benefits), which contributes to an increase in migration outflows. Against the backdrop of a negative coefficient of natural profit, the migration of the able-bodied strata of the population poses a threat to the implementation of the state plan for the long-term social and economic development of the Far East. It has been suggested that the implementation of the “Far Eastern Capital” program is one of the ways to attract highly educated labor resources to the territory of the subjects of the Far-Eastern macroregion. The program envisages the allocation of financial resources that are applied by the population exclusively in the given territory in order to improve their living standards (housing and the opportunity to open their own business), as well as the quality of the educational (and hence labor) potential. The increase in population due to the solution of issues of material and social well-being will contribute to the expansion of domestic effective demand in the Far East. This, in turn, will lead to the successful functioning of the territories of advanced development and special zones of investment attractiveness.

Subject. The article addresses the tax liabilities of taxpayers registered in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, which should be paid to the consolidated budget of the Russian Federation, as well as the factors of the said debt growth. Objectives. Our aim is to assess the level of tax debt of regions of the Russian Far East and identify the correlation between the factors and the amount of tax debt. Methods. The study rests on methods of analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, and the correlation and regression analysis. Results. We analyzed the level of tax debt for the entire Far Eastern Federal District and by region, identified factors affecting the growth of tax debt therein. The paper assesses the structure of tax debt by type of taxes and activity of debtors. The unveiled factors may help control changes in the size of tax debt in the Russian Far East and develop effective measures to improve the debt collection. Conclusions. The study shows that there is an increase in the tax debt in the regions of the Russian Far East, in the VAT in particular. The factor analysis revealed that the volume of sales of wholesale enterprises, investment in fixed capital, the consumer price index have the largest impact on the amount of tax debt.

Being a parent plays an important role in people’s life trajectory and identity. Though the general cultural perception is that having children is a source of subjective well-being, there is evidence that, at least in some societies, the subjective well-being of those who are parents is worse, in some aspects, than that of those who are not. This gap has been the object of interest and controversy. The aim of this study was to compare Chilean adults with and without children in a broad set of well-being indicators, controlling for other sociodemographic variables. A public national probabilistic database was used. The results show that, in terms of positive and negative affect, those who are not parents achieve greater well-being than those who have children. Other results also pointed in that direction. The implications of the social context and gender, which are aspects that pose a burden for the exercise of parenthood in Chile, are discussed.
