This paper assumes an estimation of economical research of rapidly improving body on financial literacy. We begin with a synopsis of academic research, which emit financial learning as a structure interest in human capital. Development of financial learning has significant implication for benefit; also policies planned to increase levels of financial information in the well-built inhabitants. After that, we depict on topical surveys to ascertain how many numbers of people knows and categorize the least financial aptitude population subgroups. Though the narrative is still undeveloped, conclusions may perhaps strain on the subject of the effects and consequences of financial illiteracy, to work for answering these research gaps. A concluding part suggests a view on what remains to be educated, if researchers are to be improved to inform academic and experimental models with public policy.

ResumoO presente estudo tem o objetivo de explorar como diferentes países organizam seus programas e estratégias nacionais de Educação Financeira. O método utilizado foi a leitura de relatórios oficiais da OCDE e consulta a sites governamentais e pesquisas acadêmicas. Os resultados apontam que há uma tendência mundial em instituir a Educação Financeira como uma política pública nos diferentes níveis, etapas e modalidades de ensino, a fim de promover uma alfabetização financeira capaz de reeducar o comportamento dos indivíduos frente ao uso de suas finanças. Concluímos que há uma diversidade de metodologias para abordar a temática e destacamos a importância de uma Educação Financeira Escolar crítica e reflexiva.Palavras-chave: Educação financeira, Estratégias nacionais pelo mundo, Países.AbstractThis study aims to explore how different countries organize their programs and strategies to teach Financial Education.

Population is the key object of public policy, as it forms the demographic potential, without which the development of either a country or the world economy as a whole is impossible. The study of the location of the population, the number of labour resources, sex and age structure are important government tasks, the proper implementation of which forms the potential of the population. The aim of the article is to estimate the demographic potential of Voronezh Oblast. To achieve the goal the methods of statistical analysis were used, namely: grouping, relative, average, and index methods. Results. A comprehensive assessment of the demographic potential of the region has been made. The study will make it possible to make refined forecasts of demographic development of the region.

This article is to discuss the state of scholarly research on the influence of human capital on the economic growth and the development of regions. We hereby review the relevant literature published over the past 30 years, and we integrate the various trends and factors into a preliminary and multi-dimensional framework of human capital development. Through this methodologically systematic review and framework development, we provide a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of the connection between human capital development, world technological trends and economic growth. In so doing, we consequently identify various research gaps and prescribe effective ways for future works in this research stream. Conclusively, we discuss the problem of a lack of the demand for human capital (as well as knowledge) in Russian regions that is the main reason for weak economic situation in them. Here is suggested to restructure current regional economy in order to consolidate high qualified human capital in regions and stipulate economic growth in regions.

The study investigates the influence of financial development on foreign trade in transitional economies using panel data (1994–2014). Although empirical studies on the impact of financial development on foreign trade are available, none of them that the authors are aware of attempted to explore the subject matter in the context of transitional economies. None attempted to investigate if human capital development is a channel through which financial development influences foreign trade or international trade. Under fixed effects, financial development was found to have a non‑significant positive influence on foreign trade, while the random effects approach shows a significant positive relationship running from financial development towards foreign trade. The findings resonate with the majority of the literature on the subject. However, pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) shows that financial development had a significant negative influence on foreign trade. Under both fixed and random effects, human capital development was found to be a channel through which financial development had a significant positive effect on foreign trade. The results are in line with Patrick’s (1966) argument that foreign trade is quickened by high levels of human capital and financial development. The implication of the study is that transitional authorities should develop and implement human capital development enhancement policies in order to enable financial development to have a significant positive effect on foreign trade. In contrast to the available literature, human capital development was found to have had a significant negative impact on foreign trade under the OLS approach. Future studies on the subject matter should address the endogeneity concerns and the dynamic characteristics of the foreign trade data.

Subject. This article deals with the simulation technologies based on the principles of stochastic optimization. They can bring a significant financial effect in the planning of investment development of both individual innovation and industrial clusters and federal districts of the country. Objectives. The article aims to investigate the mechanisms of inter-cluster cooperation within a single district. Methods. For the analysis, we used a stochastic optimization model in view of economic, financial, information, and logistics inter-cluster cooperation within a single federal district. Results. The considered stochastic optimization model of economic, financial, information, and logistics inter-cluster cooperation shows that the increase in fixed investment does not always cause population growth in the federal district regions. Conclusions. The use of a digital twin mechanism of inter-cluster cooperation can help avoid premature unreasonable public policy management decisions regarding the further development of innovation and industrial clusters.
