Abstract This article reveals the importance of different methods for assessment of social infrastructure (SI) development needs in rural areas. Rural social infrastructure is a significant element of rural territories interpreted in different ways: as social and economic system, basic services for local community, social bridge for integrating different social groups into the society, important factor for satisfaction of rural people’s needs and acknowledgement of their human rights. Besides the mentioned importance of SI to rural areas and rural community, the lack of exploration of methods for analysis of the needs for developing rural social infrastructure has been noticed in the scientific literature. The research aim is therefore to analyse the methods for assessment of needs of rural social infrastructure. The research question has been set accordingly: how different methods for need analysis could be applied to social infrastructure planning and development? The research results show that need analysis is generally linked to various methods, but for the SI planning, development and implementation specifically, there are certain methods, the application of which depends on specifics of rural areas (as territory) and features of local community.

Digital platforms have increasingly become accepted and trusted by European citizens as indispensable utilities for social interaction and communication in everyday life. This article aims to analyze how trust in and dependence of these ubiquitous platforms for mediated communication is configured and the kind of consequences this has for user (dis)empowerment and public values. Our analysis builds on insights from the domestication perspective and infrastructure studies. In order to illustrate our conceptual approach, we use the case of messaging apps. We demonstrate how these apps as an essential social infrastructure are entangled with a corporate-computational infrastructure. The entangling of both types of infrastructures leads to a paradox where users feel compelled to appropriate these socially indispensable apps in everyday life, while also making them dependent on their corporate control mechanisms. In order to get out of the paradox and empower users these infrastructures and their data sharing need to be disentangled. For this, we apply the notion of ‘infrastructural inversion’ as a way to surface opaque and hidden properties of the digital platforms. We conclude with a discussion of potential other routes for infrastructural inversion in order to establish data disentanglement that serves public interest values.

The relevance of the study of the living conditions of rural women is related to the actual demographic situation in the Russian hinterland. In rural areas of the Russian Federation there is a stable decline in the population due, first of all, to natural population decrease, as well as migration outflow connected with low standards and quality of life, unattractiveness of labor in rural areas, and social infrastructure. Rural women as a socio-demographic group with typical socio-psychological, ideological, moral and ethno-cultural characteristics, similar spiritual values, social experience and lifestyles, being a more numerous part of the population of rural territories, act as a kind of bulwark for preservation of the village, its culture, traditions and rural economy as a whole. A quarter of all Russian women live in rural areas. Distribution of the country’s population by gender and age groups as of January 1, 2019 shows that women predominate in the rural population (52%). And the group of women over working age is twice as large as that of men (6775 thousand against 3230 thousand). In other words, Russian village has actually a female face. In this regard, the study of rural women’s issues is very important and timely. The article shows the role of women in the social development of the village, provides excerpts from interviews of rural female activists, their reasoning about how they live despite the difficulties that surround them. It highlights demographic trends in rural areas, assesses the quality of the labor potential of rural residents in comparison with urban residents, and shows a higher level of self-realization in labor activity among women than among men.

Subject. This article considers the processes of forming, developing and implementing State-run programmes at the meso-level. Objectives. The article aims to substantiate the requirements, principles and particularities of the formation of State-run programmes for regional development and analyze and evaluate the practices of their implementation. Methods. For the study, I used the methods of selective analysis, generalization, and the systems and logical framework approaches. Results. The article identifies certain positive and critical aspects of State-run programmes and formulates reasoned proposals to eliminate side effects arising when developing and implementing various State-run programmes. Conclusions. The article concludes that it is necessary to ensure the relevance of State-run programmes to the goals and objectives of the socio-economic development strategy at the meso-level. It is necessary to expand the scope of the simulated management of programme formation and implementation tools, as well, and meet and take into account the criteria and specifics of programme development.

The paper explores and provides an argument to a conceptual perspective to building an adaptive management framework at the enterprise through insights into a range of different approaches to understanding of an adaptive management category and constructing a structural and logical pattern. The adaptation issues as such are critical for enterprises operating in a rapidly changing external environment, since the regularity of adjustment problems encourages the search for new effective solutions in terms of relevant responding to changes. The company adaptive management contributes to balancing supply opportunities against the changes in demand. Thus, it is crucial to implement changes through forecasting the external environment settings within the selected industry segments to design scenarios and possible demand for limited resources in the markets. For these reasons, while constructing the structural and logical framework for developing adaptive enterprise management, the factors affecting the external environment have been thoroughly investigated. The key specific feature of the conceptual approach in building effective adaptive management is its closed loop system underpinned by the major management principles. It is argued that since the free choice of input data related to the object under study (the enterprise) cannot be carried out, it seems hardly possible to construct an accurate model. The use of basic management principles to perform calculations for an adaptive management model against the reference model involves large-scale calculations triggering certain problems in real time. On the other hand, the benefits of the direct method are the possibility to adjust the parameters directly and reduce the number of calculations, thus eliminating the need to build an accurate model for the object under study (the enterprise). Since the configuration of adaptive management with augmented error tends to be more complicated, the paper suggests a relevant structural and logical framework to build effective adaptive management system in the enterprise.

Indonesia is experiencing the demographic bonus when the proportion of a working-age population is higher than a non-working-age population. This bonus will achieve its peak in 2030, then the proportion will decrease gradually. After that, Indonesia will face the demographic burden. Demographic bonus is very important to be utilized since it gives an opportunity to boost economic growth. However, after this bonus happens, the problems will  arise in the demographic burden period. This paper will analyze demographic phenomena and offer several policies that can be taken by the government to attain the bonus and to lessen the bad impact of the burden using literature review analysis. According to the results of this paper, the government should focus on decreasing an unemployment rate, providing social infrastructure, and educating people.

This paper applies techniques of demographic analysis to official data of Greece to obtain net migration estimates by age, sex and citizenship for the intercensal period 1991-2001. It is found that the overall net immigration rate for the decade is 6.3 per 100 resident population and the contribution of foreign immigrants to this figure is 88.2 per cent. 85.4 % of the net immigrants are of working age and 70.3 % of net immigrant women are of reproductive age. The results of the study can be used to formulate assumptions regarding the migration component when handling population estimates and projections.
