AbstractThe paper reflects the dynamics of changes in standard of living in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania during the post-Soviet period.BackgroundThe more than twenty years that have passed since perestroika failed to lead to the expected positive shifts in economy in RNO-Alania. In ratings of regions by population living standards, the republic was consistently among the last places.AimTo show the discrepancy between the modern level of economic development and the standard of life in the RNO-Alania.MethodThe work uses comparative analysis of indicators of living standard and indicators reflecting the structural and dynamic characteristics of economic processes.ResultsOfficial statistics show growth in almost all socio-economic indicators in RNO-Alania. This apparent increase in living standards does not correspond to the low ranking of RNO-Alania, which is consistently in the bottom ten of the rating of Russian regions. The analysis of other indicators determining the population's quality of life, such as: the ecological condition of the territory, the developmental level of health and education institutions, life expectancy, and availability of transport, information and communication networks all correlated weakly with the real socio-economic situation in the region. The study of the republic's districts showed a high unemployment rate due to the lack of industrial and agricultural production, the underdevelopment of small and medium-sized businesses, and low wages. There is an outflow of working-age population to the city of Vladikavkaz and from the districts to outside the republic.ConclusionsThe deficit in the republic's budget persisted during the research period, despite the apparent growth in the gross product and revenue part of the budget, but the volume of expenditures is growing at a faster rate. The main reason for this is the sharp decline in industrial production, and the influence of loss-making enterprises that do not generate income in the budget. Living standards are rising only thanks to grants from the federal centre.RecommendationIn order to remove the republic from its depressed state it is necessary to increase the fixed capital, to control the process of effective use of the available production capacities, and to invest in a recreational industry that uses natural resources and does not require significant investment.

Ensuring high and sustainable economic growth is one of the main tasks of public spending policy. In fact, public expenditure plays an important role in the formation of physical and human capital over time. If are properly targeted, they can stimulate economic growth even in the short term, when limited infrastructure of (unskilled) workforce is a barrier to increased production. Therefore, the realized impact of public expenditures on economic growth can be considered as an indicator of their effectiveness. The goal of public expenditure is to increase economic growth by providing more employment opportunities, increasing people's income and living standards. Therefore, if they are well-managed, they can lead to the desired level of economic growth and improvement of the living standard of the population.

Based on the materials of the current archive of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Bashkortostan, this article makes an attempt to study the preservation of the native language on the example of school education in the Udmurt language in 1970-2018. An analysis of the dynamics of the network of national schools in the Udmurt language over the specified period showed that the number of schools and the number of students studying in their native language tended to sharply decline. The main reason for this process was the transference of the Udmurt schools into the Russian language of education, which was carried out as a part of the language policy of the party and the government in the 1970s. The role of the Russian language in the educational process in the national republics was strengthening in several stages and lasted until the end of the 1980s. By this time, almost all schools with the Udmurt language in the republic had been translated into Russian. The Udmurt language was learnt only as a subject. In the post-Soviet period, the Udmurt school in Bashkortostan has not undergone fundamental changes. The Udmurt language is mainly studied as a subject. In a number of schools in the primary school the children are educated in the native Udmurt language.

An important index that reflects the efficiency of the state socio-economic policy is the population standard of living. This index represents the result of the country’s socio-economic development. No result of the development of individual sectors of the economy, regardless of how large and positive it is, have sufficient value without appropriate changes in the standard of living of the population. Increasing the living standards of the population, including people with disabilities, is a strategic priority in the state policy of the Republic of Moldova. One way to achieve this is to improve micro and microeconomic mechanisms for GDP growth. It is also important to ensure economic inclusion through the equitable distribution of income and the reduction of economic inequalities for the harmonious development of society as a whole. The purpose of the research is to highlight the essential aspects of the standard of living of people with disabilities in the Republic of Moldova in order to create adequate measures for their social protection.

Abstract This paper examines an effect the remittances have on poverty alleviation of rural households and regions in which exist a large number of the emigrants among population. Remittances represent a significant part of additional income of the household mostly used for consumption and improvement of the living standard. Using data from Living Standards Measurement Survey 2007, an impact of the remittances on the poverty index, depth of poverty and poverty severity in the Republic of Serbia is estimated. Due to limitation of data, counterfactual household consumption is estimated in conditions of remittances absence, where the last is treated as exogenous transfer of money. The results show that remittances have a larger impact to poverty of rural households, especially to the depth and severity of poverty. According to the regions, remittances have the largest impact to the poverty level in East Serbia, but these effects on poverty depth and severity are not statistically significant. The smallest changes in the depth and severity of poverty are noticed in Sumadija.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to identify the key determinants of poverty in the Republic of Serbia. The secondary goal is to show that poverty can be reduced if the classic concept of treating poverty is abandoned and the concept of social exclusion accepted, the benefits of which are to look at causes and provide a basis for preventing the problem of poverty, rather than just attempting to remedy the consequences. In the paper, statistical-econometric models are applied which correspond to the defined goal of the empirical research, but also to the selected variables. Part of the data analysis was carried out on data collected through the Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC). It is an instrument that is among the most relevant when it comes to monitoring poverty, inequality, social inclusion and living standards. The contribution of work is reflected in the development of the poverty research in the Republic of Serbia with the aim of complementing the scientific knowledge fund on the implementation of state measures and instruments in the context of stimulating economic growth and increasing the living standard of the population.

Aim. The presented study aims to analyze the external and internal environment of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, identifying opportunities and threats to the region’s economic and social development.Tasks. The author examines the methodology for analyzing the external and internal environment of the region; analyzes global opportunities and threats to the development of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, as well as strengths and weaknesses of a subsidized region according to basic limiting economic factors.Methods. The author conducts an assessment of the region based on the basic factors of the external and internal environment. Strategic trends are summarized and inferred from statistical observations. The study also uses analytical and synthetic methods.Results. The Kabardino-Balkar Republic, a region with a continuously low level of economic and social development, is chosen as the subject of the study. It is established that this region’s natural resources can serve as a driver of economic growth. However, the region’s low investment attractiveness and the large amount of investment required make it impossible to seize this strategic opportunity. Due to the low level of economic development in the Republic, there is an outflow of the working-age population, which is an obvious strategic threat. The level of development of production facilities and infrastructure is below the national average. The region’s main specialization includes the agro-industrial complex (AIC), wholesale and retail trade. There is a lack of capital for the implementation of the development strategy in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, the subnational budget largely depending on gratuitous contributions from the center.Conclusions. The conducted analysis of the external and internal environment makes it possible to identify opportunities and threats and determine strategic priorities supported by competitive advantages.

The article examines the main trends in the demographic situation in the Chuvash Republic in 2000–2020, discusses the migration processes in Chuvashia in this period of time, their causes and direction, analyzes the results of statistical data from 2000 to 2020, considers the measures taken both at federal and regional levels to change the migration situation. Currently, the republic is observed to experience problems related to the natural decline of the population, as well as relocation of young people and the working-age population to the most attractive regions of the country. There is another negative pattern associated with «aging» of the population: demographic problems have an impact on the economic development of the Chuvash Republic. Since 2000, the working-age population has been gradually declining. A systematic decline in the population of the region is primarily due to migration processes. Every year, more people leave Chuvashia than arrive. This dynamic is primarily due to the growth of unemployment, low living standards of the population and undersized wages. In addition, there are issues related to illegal migration from the Central Asia states and the CIS, and the increase in the number of foreign workers in the republic. To prevent this from happening, strict supervision over implementation of the Russian labor legislation is needed. In order to stabilize the situation, state authorities should actively implement measures aimed at improving the migration situation in the republic, developing the socio-economic attractiveness of the region, and resolving problems that hinder the effective migration control.
