To make managerial decisions on labour market regulation on the regional level it is necessary to have an objective statistic estimation of interconnection between informal employment and indicators of social and economic development. The article describes preconditions of forming a complex system of indicators on the basis of documents of strategic planning and analysis of works by Russian and overseas researchers dealing with issues of informal employment. Informal employment is an independent field of research that attracts scientists from different spheres and disciplines: from economics and anthropology to gender research, politology, sociology and city planning. Due to the fact that sizes and composition of informal employment, causes of its arising and consequences, lines of impact and interconnection with other figures are different, the author took analysis of documents of strategic planning and goals of national development of the Russian Federation up to 2024 as a starting point for shaping the structure of the system of indicators. In the research indicators of social and economic development were grouped by blocks corresponding to lines in national projects and supplemented by the block of indicators characterizing the macro-economic situation. This categorization based on priorities of national development fosters conclusion drawing with due regard to human capital, comfortable environment for life and economic growth.

The article reviews the legal and regulatory framework for strategic planning at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and identifies problems of the used vocabulary. There is no distinction between the concepts of “strategic priorities”, “priorities of social and economic development”, “priorities of social and economic policy”, “directions of development”. The paper analyzed the content of the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation with a view to existence and sequence of basic concepts of the system of goal setting: “mission”, “strategic priorities”, “goal”, “tasks”, “directions of development” as well as approaches to their essence and content. The main approach to the concept “strategic priority of social and economic development” is to identify it with the goal of social and economic development of the constituent entity (60% of the regions use this concept in the strategy of social and economic development). In addition, most part of constituent entities of the Russian Federation determine the goal of social and economic development as the “main” one, the second most popular is the “strategic” goal. It should be noted that in 6 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, no characteristics are attributed to the goal, and in another 18 regions the overall common goal is not identified. Two basic models of goal setting according to the presence of the mission of constituent entities of the Russian Federation are identified: the inside one (the closed one includes 54 constituent entities of the Russian Federation) and the outside one (the open one includes 31 constituent entities of the Russian Federation). The study offers a detailed classification of the models of goal-setting on the basis of the categories of strategic planning used in the strategies of social and economic development of constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author suggests a logically consistent model of goal setting linked to other strategic planning documents, and the main tools for goal achievement. The practical use of study results is presented in the opportunity of their use by strategic planners of the region during the development of the strategy of its social and economic development.

The article aims to summarize new conditions and new challenges, which currently determine the possibility and even the need for substantial revitalization of the strategic management of the social and economic development of Russian municipalities.Five years of practice of implementing the provisions of the Federal Law no. 172 on trategic planning in the Russian Federation revealed a sufficiently large number of gaps in this legislative act, which currently need to be filled. However, the complexity of the situation cannot be reduced only to the initial mistakes made during the development and adoption of this legislative act. Much of the issues which need to be amended or supplemented in the law on strategic planning today is connected with new conditions and priorities of the social and economic development of the country, its regions and municipal territories. The mentioned above fully concerns the issue of the logical (in the legal and economic sense) completion of the “hierarchical relationship” of strategic planning through a more complete and clear legal regulation of the main forms and key functions of strategic planning at the municipal level of management. The solution of this problem is not limited only by the elimination of the dualism or uncertainty that is necessary for positioning municipal strategizing in the current version of the Federal Law no. 172. The point is that legal regulation should cover a lot of new phenomena of territorial organization of production, settlements (for example, megacities, agglomerations); identify the features of municipal management and strategizing in such specific “points” as towns and mono industry cities, particularly depressed settlements, intercity municipalities, etc. However, the necessity to achieve the coordination of positions on this wide range of issues between the legislation on strategic planning and the legislation on the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the Russian Federation is shown.

The main task that determines the effective functioning of the country is the formation of a strategy for its socio-economic development based on a long-term innovation strategy. An innovative development strategy of the country is defined as a fundamental, basic element of the overall strategy of socio-economic development. The purpose of the article is to develop the conceptual foundations for shaping the country's socio-economic development strategy in modern conditions, adjusting the priority directions of the strategy and the peculiarities in using the means of achieving the goals, taking into account European experience. The article examines the European practice of developing and implementing the strategy of socio-economic development of the country as the most important instrument of the state's influence on social and economic development. Recommendations on the use of advanced strategic planning tools are developed. It is proved that without the scientific and methodological support of the plan of socio-economic development of the country it is impossible to count on the successful solution of important tasks and the democratization of public relations. The concept of strategy formation is designed to take into account the interests of economic entities and territory and to cover not only the traditionally used sectoral aspect of development, but also the territorial, which includes the creation and development of clusters and special economic zones. European experience shows that transition of a country to an innovative socially oriented type of development requires an increase in the efficiency of the state strategic planning process, the achievement of which is possible only with the co-ordinated activity of state authorities, business structures, science and society. It should be emphasized that in the prevailing conditions there is a need to form a single integrated system of social and economic development planning that optimally combines both the use of strategic planning and the program-target method for solving urgent problems.

In his essay ?The Protestant Ethic? Max Weber explains the specific economic development and the foundation of capitalism in Western Europe due to the appearance of protestant sects and the ?spirit of capitalism?. By doing so, Weber assigns religion a significant place among the factors of social and economic development. Taking Weber?s theory and argumentation as a starting point, this article drafts a thesis on ?orthodox ethic? and determines its role in the development of the ?spirit of capitalism? in orthodox countries. For that purpose this article compares political-historical circumstances on the territory of the Western and Eastern Church on one, and pictures the theological-philosophical basis of both Protestantism and Orthodoxy on the other side.

In the times of quick and widespread changes, innovations and new ways of city management, new approaches to planning of strategic development of urban entities are expected. Therefore there is a continuing search for possibilities of acquiring new information about the city market and ways to shape it, residents’ participation and involvement, and also creating city openness. Urban centres are not closed entities but they have strong relations with the local, domestic and global markets. There is a search for new directions and priorities in strategic planning of social and economic development, while the established goals follow consultations, workshops and meetings of various groups of urban stakeholders. The consequences of long-term implementation of a city’s image as open is, on the one hand, its recognisability, yet – on the other one – the experience of positive and negative effects of the implementation. The purpose of the study is to identify selected contemporary conditions of strategic planning of a city’s social and economic development, emphasising – in particular – the bases for creating a city’s openness, including the related opportunities and hazards. Another intention is to highlight innovative ways of collecting market information about needs and aspirations of city users, as well as to form the residents’ attitude towards their involvement in the development of their living space. The applied research methods include literature studies, benchmarking and reasoning.

Rural accessibility means more than just reliable roads and cost-effective transportation networks. Rural accessibility is critical for achieving social and economic development in low-income developing countries such as Bangladesh where both rural and urban development are constrained by significant infrastructural deficiencies. It is also an important factor that determines the effects of natural disasters on these resource-constrained societies, since both disaster responses and sustainable development are compromised by poor rural accessibility. Using two contrasting case studies from Bangladesh, this article reveals the significance of improved rural accessibility on rural development and the effects of natural disasters on rural areas. The findings of this article suggest that the improvement of rural accessibility should be a top national development priority, since it increases the opportunities for sustainable social and economic development and reduces the adverse effects of natural disasters on the rural areas in developing countries such as Bangladesh.
