Structural changes in agriculture, rural areas and regions, as well as in economic activities related to the production and trade of agricultural products, most often occur as a response to periodic changes in general economic and social conditions. In order to formulate effective policies and strategies, policy makers need adequate information about the main structural changes in agriculture. Therefore, based on the information framework of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia, the article primarily focuses on changes of agricultural output in Serbia, respectively changes in crop and animal production, and agricultural services. The research aims to analyze changes in the structure of agricultural output in the period from 2007 to 2019 in order to identify its future trend by applying the forecast function. The research results show that the agricultural production of goods and services will keep the positive trend with a dominant share of crop production.

The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic are important and relevant for sustainable development. The aim of this chapter is to review the existing model of economic development, because the COVID-19 pandemic has called into question the effects of structural changes in the economy and manufacturing industry in Serbia. The main contribution of this chapter is the review of development results which show that Serbia is in the process of economic recovery, but that it has not yet embarked on the path of sustainable economic development due to numerous structural problems. Serbia has experience with unsustainable economic development, and this is a strong argument in favor of sustainable concept implementation. In addition, this chapter provides empirical research on structural and technological changes. The obtained results can be used by economic and industrial policy makers to influence the consequences of COVID-19 and to avoid the slowdown of structural reforms. There will be numerous economic, environmental, social, and especially health challenges whose solutions must be sustainable.

Jobs and their location provide the key to an understanding of the contemporary thrust of South Africa's ‘separate development’ policy. Within the country's present space economy, dominated by the four metropolitan complexes of the Southern Transvaal, Cape Town, Durban, and Port Elizabeth, this policy seeks to mould a new geography of employment opportunity for the blacks of South Arica. In this process, public policy-makers are attempting to decentralise some economic activities, particularly in the manufacturing sector, away from the nation's metropolitan hubs, and concomitantly to promote new work centres in, or on the borders of, the designated ‘Bantu Homelands’. The current emphasis in the Republic is upon the generation of industrial employment for Africans at selected sites in these Homelands. This short note explores the immediate problems and long-term prospects of this policy with reference to the Bophutatswana growth point of Babelegi.

The fourth industrial revolution is about the development of Industry 4.0, the changing of the production paradigm and economic digitalization. The research subject are the development conditions of Industry 4.0 in the Republic of Serbia. The main research objective is to point out the importance of the efficient development of Industry 4.0 and the implementation of structural changes through the process of digitalization and application of technological innovation in the manufacturing industry. The method of analysis is used to identify the concepts of Industry 4.0 and the new industrial paradigm. The comparative method is used to compare technological criteria and changes. The development conditions of Industry 4.0 are analyzed indirectly through technological criteria and innovation, i.e. data obtained from survey on innovation, individual innovation and technology indicators and composite indicators. Industry 4.0 is an important factor in technological and structural change, economic growth and competitiveness. The research results show that the Republic of Serbia lacks incentives for the development of Industry 4.0. The research results are useful to industrial policy makers as they point to some of the key factors and directions of change to create the conditions for the development of Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industry and the digital transformation of the economy.

Introduction. The economy of any region includes various types of activities. Building development models of individual sectors of the economy contributes to the rational allocation of productive forces, expedient use of economic resources as well as to the comprehensive development of the country’s regions. This determines the relevance of the chosen research topic. The main objective of the analysis is to build models of functioning of the main types of economic activities in the regional context. Materials and Methods. The conducted research applied multidimensional techniques of the regression and factorial analysis by building dependencies of the volume of economic activities of various sectors of the regional economy (based on the initial socio-economic indicators provided by the Territorial Authority of the Federal State Statistics Service in the Republic of Mari El and the integral indicators obtained on their basis). Results. Modeling the region’s economic activity made it possible to identify the factors the change of which directly impact the functioning of the relevant sectors of the economy. In agriculture and the construction sector, the cumulative factors that largely characterize the functioning of these types of activities have been identified based on the integral indicators: the factor of livestock production and the factors of commissioning apartments and living space. The study has proved the greater focus of agriculture in the region on the livestock products with a bias on milk production. The analysis of the construction sector in the Republic of Mari El has revealed the predominance of the commissioning of residential buildings as compared with the construction of industrial and civil buildings as well as social and cultural facilities among the implemented construction projects. Modeling the transport sector has proved a significant dependence of the volume of passenger traffic in the Republic of Mari El on the availability of private vehicles. Discussion and Conclusion. To provide further progressive development of the agriculture and the construction sector of the region, great attention should be paid to the development of crop production within the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Mari El as well as to the construction of industrial and civil buildings, social and cultural facilities. The results obtained can be used when conducting research on the development of the regional economy or drawing up strategic plans for the functioning of the economic sectors.

This article uses the example of the Bashkir TRANS – Urals-South-Eastern regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan to describe the prospects for using ethno-branding tools in regional and municipal management of rural development in terms of increasing their investment and tourist attractiveness in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. From the authors' point of view, the regions of the Bashkir TRANS-Urals have a number of competitive advantages, including a rich history, unique tourist and recreational resources, and preserved traditions and customs of the indigenous Bashkir population. But in order for these advantages to contribute to the growth of investment and tourist attractiveness of these rural areas, it is necessary to create recognizable and most attractive images, ethnobrands through the active use of tools of territorial marketing and branding, in particular, ethnobranding. To increase the effectiveness of territorial ethnobranding, the authors justify the need to consolidate the efforts of Federal, regional and local authorities, the business community, research and educational institutions, and private firms professionally engaged in marketing, branding, advertising, and promotion of goods and services. City and district Administrations, business incubators in Ufa, Sterlitamak, Salavat, Oktyabrsky, information and consulting centers of municipalities, Universities, Colleges, institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and well-known consulting firms can act as coordinators and consultants in matters of territorial marketing and branding. The authors concluded that the active use of regional and municipal management tools tobringing should contribute to more effective promotion of products and services from local producers to national and international markets, increase their investment and tourist attractiveness, growth of the tourist flow in South-Eastern Bashkortostan, increase employment and quality of life of the villagers.

As we know, the level of organization and efficiency of agricultural production depends on provision of highly qualified specialists. Nowadays, we oversee a shortage of qualified personnel in the agribusiness of the Republic of Tatarstan. Increasing the agricultural products output, on the one hand, and lack of managerial staff in the agricultural enterprises, on the other hand, cause increasing the loading on industry experts, which drastically reduces their motivation to work and efficiency of industrial process control. All this leads to a decrease in efficiency of agricultural production. Studies show, that agribusiness personnel security system depends on their training and retraining in the higher educational institutions, on focused work of personnel services at various levels, on the level of wages, on satisfaction of specialists in social and economic conditions of labor, on output and load to one specialist. Agricultural enterprises do not use standard method for determining the needs of industry professionals. According to nominally - standard method in 2012, the plant industry needed in 1533 agronomists, but according to the information of personnel department of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic only 634 agronomists worked in the Republic, that was 41.3% of the estimated quantity. This has led to an expansion of the load on a single specialist, which reduced the efficiency of management, timely execution of processes for organizational reasons and low yields. The loss of crop production averaged in thе Republic was 648 863.600 rubles, that is equivalent to 119 276.3 tons of grain. The shortage of highly qualified personnel in rural areas, their low fixability, degradation qualitative and quantitative human capacity can be eliminated by the development and adoption at the federal and regional levels the targeted program of agribusiness staffing and develop guidelines and criteria for personnel policy. Social and economic activities, that promote security personnel include: material incentives increase, improvement of living conditions, the introduction of new forms of work organization, compliance labor intensity, professional and qualitative promotion of workers. The studies have shown that: an objective approach at making appointments to executive positions; use of personnel reserve; introduction of innovative technologies into the production; improvement of specialists remuneration systems; creation of a single automated system of personnel monitoring in agribusiness; improvement living conditions and higher wages of specialists - are the main measures, facilitating to consolidation of professionals in rural areas. All these measures will have maximum impact and benefit only in joint implementation by the owners of agricultural enterprises and government agribusiness agencies.

The possibilities of small-scale economic activities, which include peasant (farm) farms, in the preservation and development of rural areas of the country, in solving the problems of employment and income of rural residents require a deep interdisciplinary analysis in order to develop effective support measures in the future. Farmers are a significant subject of socio-economic processes in modern Russian rural areas and the implementation of state food security programs. Most of their farms are multi-industry, they are engaged in grain growing, animal husbandry, vegetable growing, beekeeping, etc. In order to understand what processes are taking place in farms, what factors constrain and what, on the contrary, contribute to their development, how the farming way of life adapts to the conditions of constantly changing socio – economic reality, how farmers are integrated into the activities of rural societies, it is important to use various research practices to study the various aspects of farms in different regions of the country. This article uses sociological information obtained from rural residents of such large agricultural regions as the Republic of Kalmykia, Astrakhan, Volgograd regions, and Stavropol territory.

The article deals with historical and modern problems of agricultural development in the Irkutsk region in the context of industrial development of the region. Structural changes in the agricultural sector, the ratio of crop production and animal husbandry in the production of agricultural products are traced. The study found that within the framework of large-scale programs for the development of the productive forces of the Irkutsk region, the main attention was paid to industrial development, and agriculture was assigned the role of a secondary industry. This was manifested in the residual principle of financing the agricultural sector, its material base and the development of the social sphere in rural areas. Rural youth were involved in the construction and operation of production facilities, which led to a reduction of the population in the nearby villages and villages of the region. Special attention is paid to the problems of modern agriculture in the conditions of market transformations in the industry. On the basis of statistical material, the characteristics of the main categories of farms are given: agricultural organizations, farms and households. The analysis shows the leading role of private households in the total volume of agricultural production. At the same time, there is still an insignificant share of farms in the goods produced. The demographic consequences of the destruction of the state-farm-collective-farm system, manifested in a reduction in the number of villagers and a large shortage of agricultural workers, are particularly noted.

Since the XXth century, and especially after the Second World War, particular attention was given to the status of women who for many years was overs had owed. These different events led policy makers at the international level as well as in different countries of the world to make courageous decisions globally in favor of women globally. These decisions have enabled women to take flight both by integrating socially themselves and by taking beneficial actions that could contribute to the economic and social development of their respective countries. On the economic level in particular, Congolese women exercise many activities related to their own initiative or to collective action, these different activities contribute to the economic development of the Republic of Congo.

The Impact

Polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are used in many areas of human activity, in the production of various goods, which is carried out mainly on the basis of imported raw materials. This production is almost entirely focused on the domestic consumption, and the pricing policy directly depends on customs duties and taxes. On the Ukrainian market are presented imported fabricated products with uprated specification, in particular, pipe products made of polymeric materials. The article is aimed at studying the volumes and structure of export-import operations of Ukraine in terms of the group «Polymeric materials, plastics and products from them», identifying problems and prospects of Ukrainian producers of pipe products and their participation in foreign economic activities. The analysis of structural changes in volumes and balance of the foreign trade in goods and services of Ukraine in dynamics is carried out; the volume of export-import operations in goods is determined; averages for the period are computed. The participation of Ukrainian enterprises in the implementation of foreign economic activities is characterized, including: quantity, regional placement in the territory of the country, the average volume of operations. The volumes and dynamics of export-import operations in the group 39 «Plastics, polymeric materials», both the commodity and the geographical structure are analyzed. The authors consider the main producers of fabricated polymer-pipe products together with the producers of domestic raw materials, their proportion in the sale of goods in the foreign market; the suppliers of imported raw materials and the impact of changes in customs tariffs and fees on prices. The range of average export-import prices for 1 kg of polyethylene pipes for the top five countries is calculated. Market problems are identified and the relevant recommendations are made.
