Problem and purpose. Assessment of the contribution of universities to the socio-economic development of regions, technological and innovative progress of industry are topical issues of the modern agenda for the modernization of higher education in the Russian Federation. The authors propose a methodology for assessing the contribution of universities to regional development from the standpoint of the ecosystem approach, which makes it possible to reconfigure the development programs of the actors of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" in order to achieve the tasks of technological progress and socio-economic development of the region. Research methods. When determining indicators using the ecosystem concept, it was taken into account that the initial components for the work of each actor of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" are the results of the activity of one of these components. When using the system theory in determining the groups of indicators, the process, environmental and design components of the regional ecosystem "Education – Science – Industry" were identified. Results. Eight blocks of subsystems of indicators of the university's contribution to regional development have been formed: in integration, investment processes and technological development of the region, innovative development of the region, demographic development of the region, labor market of the region, social development of the region, intellectual potential of the region, infrastructure of the region, economy of the region. The indicators of the efficiency (effectiveness) of the university ("internal" efficiency of the university) and the indicators of the university's contribution to the development of the region are distinguished. The indicators are divided into short-term (allowing to evaluate the university's contribution as the effect of the university's activities, which manifests itself within 1-2 years) and long-term (allowing to evaluate the university's contribution as the effect from the university's activities, which manifests itself in 5-7 years). The indicators are differentiated by groups (priority 1, priority 2, priority 3) taking into account the close relationship between the indicator and the indicator of the university's contribution to regional development. In the conclusion, the possibilities of practical use of the methodology for analyzing the performance of the university in the region and adjusting the programs for the development of universities in the regional ecosystem, including when assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of the Priority 2030 program, are shown.

The ecosystem approach to the development of the university and the region allows us to consider not only the joint activities of the region and the university, but also their joint development (co-development) on the basis of common goals provided for in the strategies of socio-economic development of the regions, development strategies and missions of universities. Based on the analysis of the literature carried out by the authors of this article, an institutional mechanism for the co-development of the university and the region was formed, which is a set of their connections, expressed in the performance of roles, regarding the inclusion of the region in the activities of the university and vice versa.

Topicality. In today's socio-economic development, companies are finding the way to find new ways to increase their competitiveness. Also, in view of the global development trends and the latest documents, the socio-economic elements are becoming more and more relevant, which give a new experience to the person and provide an increase in quality of life parameters. Formation of modern trends and the transition to a new type of management, characterized by the increasing importance for a person to gain a special impression (experience) in the acquisition of a particular product or service, through the use of material or intangible production. Price competition changes weight, because a person is ready to spend big money to gain special experience, incl. from natural diversity. Therefore, the economy of impressions / experience, which is focused on consumer sensations and reflects the latest processes and phenomena of the post-industrial stage of development of society, is becoming increasingly relevant. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical basis for shaping the situation of the experience economy in light of the world trends and goals of the Millennium Development, defined in international documents. Research results. Taking into account the current trends of world development, the experience economy should become a component of inclusive growth on the basis of harmonization of interaction between society and the natural environment, social inclusion. Such guidelines can also be noted as key in the document Basic Principles of State Environmental Policy of Ukraine until 2030. At present, there is a mismatch between state legislative documents and regional development strategies. There is no clear detail of actions at the level of regional development plans. Thus it is necessary to distinguish priority directions of development of the economy of impressions in the structure of development of territories taking into account its functional features (recreational tourism, industrial, agricultural) and introduction of ecosystem approach for all directions of socio-economic development. To this end, it is necessary to highlight the basic principles of the economy of experience, taking into account the basic principles of sustainable development adopted at the UN Conference on Environment and Development.Conclusion. The study identified the origins and prerequisites of forming an impression economy. The author defined the essence of the notion of impression as a component of the impression economy, investigated existing approaches to determining the category of impression economy, analyzed the global trends in the development of the economy in terms of impressions, substantiated the use of natural resources to obtain positive impressions and improve quality of life. According to the authors, modeling the preconditions for the development of the economy of impressions can be understood as ensuring the health and socio-aesthetic development of man, the inclusion of society, the introduction of ecosystem approach that will promote inclusive growth and conservation of its natural resource potential. All kinds of natural resources (mineral, climatic, aquatic, land, forest, recreational, etc.) have a direct influence on forming an impression in the process of consuming the service and in the perception of the quality of life of a person. Therefore, it can be stated that natural resources are an essential component of the impression economy.

Like many developed countries in the world, China currently faces many serious demographic challenges that pose a potential risk to the country’s socio-economic development and stability. The current demographic development and trend is characterized by a change in the reproductive behavior of the population, characterized by a decline in birth rates, a change in family behavior, and a shift in the value system. This paper is aimed at identifying the impact of population policy and the degree of its influence on both the economic and social system of the country. Based on a deterministic approach, the findings reveal and demonstrate the serious demographic challenges facing China, and we are noting that there is no guarantee that parametric adjustments, such as shifting the retirement age, will de facto ensure the financial health of the pension system by preventing bankruptcy. We point out the risks and prospects for the sustainability of China’s socio-economic development based on an analysis of past and current Chinese demographic policy.

This article is all about assessment of the FPV residents' contribution to development of named region. Despite the fact that the FPV is one of mechanisms of public stimulus for the socio-economic development of the Far East, providing a business support package, currently it doesn't have a significant impact on the regional development. The actual performance of residents' activity does not meet the planned results


This book focuses from various perspectives on the striking similarities (as well as the concomitant differences) between early Greek and early Indian thought. In both cultures there occurred at about the same time the birth of 'philosophy', the idea of the universe as an intelligible order in which personal deity is (at most) marginal and the inner self is at the centre of attention. The similarities include a pentadic structure of narrative and cosmology, a basic conception of cosmic order or harmony, a close relationship between universe and inner self, techniques of soteriological inwardness and self-immortalisation, the selflessness of theory, envisaging the inner self as a chariot, the interiorisation of ritual, and ethicised reincarnation. Explanations for the similarites are a shared Indo-European origin, parallel socio-economic development, and influence in one direction or the other.

The article is devoted to the description and analysis of factors that potentially and actually affect the socio-economic development of the state on the example of the higher education institution. It is established that at the system level the level of ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education has a decisive influence on the formation of a positive image of a higher education institution. The results of a survey of students on the criteria for choosing a university to study are presented. Statistics on public funding of education in general and higher education in particular are presented and analyzed. It is established that, despite the formally high percentage of education funding from the level of GDP in absolute terms, the actual funding is low and needs to be strengthened by attracting external funding from customers. Attention is also paid to the state of development of educational services for foreign students. In a competitive environment at the national and international level, the decisive influence on the involvement of foreign students in the university is influenced by the structure of the training program, teacher qualifications, organization of the educational process in the classroom and so on. The article on the example of a higher education institution presents the main stages of formation and development of the internal system of quality assurance of education as an object of influence on the socio-economic development of the state. The development and/or improvement of internal quality assurance systems in universities is becoming a powerful basis for increasing university funding from external (personally involved) sources, reducing the outflow of applicants abroad and the successful provision of educational services to foreign students. At this stage, given the limited opportunities for funding of educational activities by the state (compared to EU countries), the successful implementation of the university development strategy is possible provided that systematic work is done to improve the quality of educational services for domestic and foreign citizens. As part of further research, it is planned to analyze the mutual impact of the education quality assurance system on the effectiveness of scientific activities, the provision of additional paid educational services, training for external customers and other sources.

Тhe creation and development of the digital economy in the regions of Russia is a new factor in their socio-economic development. This should be reflected in near future in the strategies of socio-economic development of regions. In the Russian Federation, at present, for developing and evaluating the implementation of the socio-economic development strategy of the region, a universal methodology has not been developed, and the standard approaches for implementing strategic planning have been adapted from the management of corporate structures.The purpose of the article is to test the methodology of statistical evaluation of the socio-economic development of the region in the digital environment. The methodological basis of the study are: the general statistical method of dynamic standards, index and coefficient analysis, the method of pairwise comparisons. The scientific novelty of the presented results are the author’s methodological developments: the system of indicators of the socio-economic development of the region in the digital environment and the regulatory assessment model. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of applying the author’s assessment methodology for monitoring regional development strategies.The creation of integral statistical measures (models) for monitoring traditional and new factors of the region’s development will provide solutions to their quantitative assessment, allow clarify both the planning and implementation stages of the region’s shortcomings and problems, ensure the implementation of the principle of integrated socioeconomic development of the region, contribute to enhancing the consistency of the objectives of regional development strategies, it will allow diagnostics of the development of the digital economy and develop new strategic orientations at the regional level, which in turn will make it possible to develop organizational mechanisms for involving people in the region in resolving issues of territorial strategic development.

The article considers the prospects of tourism development in five countries of Central Asia: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. The author analyzes cultural, social and economic aspects of the tourism industry in the region. The main directions of activity of international organi-zations in the framework of tourism promotion programs are given. Central Asia has a huge potential for the tourism development. The study of the current state of tourism in Central Asia is becoming increasingly important. Tourism resources have every chance to become part of the national wealth of the countries of this region. In the group of factors determining socio-economic development of the countries in the region are natural resources, the level of production and investment, social infrastructure, management quality, international competitiveness, etc. The need for the regional development management system is conditioned by regionalization processes inherent to the current economic situation, oriented to ensuring positive national economic dynamics and maximum using the region’s potential. The studying problem of regional development makes it possible to justify, as one of the directions of its solution, the use of cluster technologies oriented to those branches of the economy that can become a vector of regional development. According to experts, the tourism industry is one of the most profitable sectors of the economy of the region. This industry covers numerous sectors of the economy and various links between them. The main tourist routes in the present time, covering many objects of the Great Silk Road, do not offer a more detailed study of the local historical, architectural and archaeological heritage. The lack of infrastructure facilities is the reason for this. This fact forces us to search solutions, which will provide a comfortable environment for both tourists and researchers. At present, the Central Asian countries occupy a very modest place in the world market of tourist services. According to many experts, the demand for sanatorium, tourist and excursion services has decreased due to the transition period, and the existing network of tourist institutions, boarding houses, rest homes needs reconstruction. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, tourism in the Central Asian republics began to develop independently, without common approaches and concepts. In many respects this is determined by the fact that the new states have chosen their own models of socio-economic development, different from each other. The different level of political freedoms, economic development features determine the current state of the tourism industry in various countries of Central Asia. The perspective of tourism development in this region is quite difficult, but an interesting task, necessary for familiarizing humanity with the most interesting culture of peoples inhabiting Central Asia and developing the economies of countries.

The article is devoted to the assessment and forecasting of demographic indicators, gross regional product, employment, labor force and unemployment by industry in the Ryazan region until 2025-2050. The article analyzes the trends in the demographic development of the Ryazan region, including the dynamics of fertility, mortality and migration. The consequences of population aging and the peculiarities of changes in the age and sex structure of the region's population are also considered. To solve the problem of modeling and forecasting, economic and mathematical models have been developed that include the parameters of socio-economic development. The social component is based on a systematic approach to forecasting employment, depending on the anthropogenic load index, which takes into account life expectancy and standard of living, literacy of the population, crime rate, ecological state and other indicators of socio-economic development of the region. The economic component uses econometric analysis by types of economic activities in the Ryazan region, as well as time series analysis to predict employment in both the medium and short term. In terms of the labor market, the labor force is forecasted taking into account the socio-economic effect of hidden unemployment. In conclusion, forecasts are made about the dynamics of unemployment in the Ryazan region and the influence of demographic factors on the formation of the labor force.

AbstractUniversity education is a significant factor in the socio-economic development of a nation and as such is expected to improve the employability capacity of the graduates. Achieving this goal, however, depends on various factors. The present study investigated the factors affecting the employability of engineering graduates of Iranian universities. To analyse this issue, a systematic grounded theory (GT) approach, drawing on in-depth interviews with academic and industry experts, was used. The participants were selected using a purposive strategy. The data analyses showed that employability is a context-oriented issue, and in addition to the university and its internal mechanisms, external factors are also involved. Based on the data, a model is presented and analysed to explain the employability of engineering graduates.
