The main research goal was to obtain an answer whether special economic zones (SEZ) are an effective economic policy instrument in obtaining better territorial cohesion of a region. Territorial cohesion in regions was considered with a demographic and socio-economic aspect. Based on selected demographic and socioeconomic development indicators for 2005, 2010 and 2015, relations between areas included in SEZ and areas outside SEZ in a region are presented. An analysis of the demographic and socio-economic development level between such areas in the regions has shown significant differences, especially in the socio-economic aspect. It was found that areas included in the SEZ are to a significant extent ahead of areas without SEZ in terms of the socio-economic development level, while the vicinity of dynamically developing areas begins to stimulate faster development of areas outside of SEZ. This indicates that over a longer perspective SEZ may influence the territorial cohesion of a region.

The article suggests using the UNCTAD approach to the allocation of special economic zones, according to which SEZs can be considered as entities that meet three criteria: clearly defined boundaries of the zone territory, economic activity regime different from the national one, developed infrastructure. The article analyzes the geography of SEZs in Russia in such a broad sense. It is concluded that the Russian SEZ system and its analogues are unreasonably complex, and it is proposed to create a full-fledged state information system for territories with preferential regimes for investors, and to increase the uniformity of existing regulations. It is shown that at present preferential regimes contribute to the socio-economic development of priority geostrategic territories (with the exception of the North Caucasus), but beyond their borders they rather contribute to the growth of interregional differences in the level of socio-economic development, rather than their reduction. it is proposed not to abandon the creation of SEZs and their analogues in problem regions, but to provide investors with sufficient favorable conditions and to differentiate approach to assessing the effectiveness of SEZs and their analogues in regions with objectively different levels of investment attractiveness.

Introduction. Over the past two decades, a large amount of data has been accumulated that show the significant impact of social factors on the health of the population. The Republic of Bashkortostan is a large industrial centre and one of the most promising subjects of the Russian Federation. Purpose of the study. Ranking the territories of the Republic of Bashkortostan by priority socioeconomic indices, as well as determining their impact on the health of the child population. Material and methods. As the initial data, the materials of the socioeconomic state of the Republic of Bashkortostan, data on the number and morbidity of the child population for the period 2014-2018 were used. Correlation-regression analysis was carried out, and qualitative assessments of the results obtained were given. The principle of dividing the territory into seven socio-economic zones, taking into account climatic and geographical features, the development of industrial potential and the existing socio-economic ties, was chosen as the basis for the study. Results. The ranking of territories by socio-economic indices in the Republic of Bashkortostan showed that most of the municipalities (over 60%) have a low level of socio-economic development. The most favourable conditions in terms of social comfort for children were found in the southern, central and northwestern economic zones. So, as socio-economic indices improve by 2018, the incidence of the population tends to decrease. Conclusion. Thanks to the data obtained, a number of the most disadvantaged areas in socio-economic development and morbidity in the child population have been identified. In these territories, it is recommended to develop a set of measures to improve and stabilise socio-economic indices.
