Abstract

As young people move to cities, the demographic structure of the village changes, and traditional village institutions tend to weaken or even collapse. Another factor is that agricultural income is being replaced by remittances. The consequences of this development for the well-being of rural households are ambiguous. On the one hand, the increase in the share of non-farm income has reduced the dependence of the poor on land for income growth in rural areas. Rural-urban transformation and rural economy in emerging market economies during the economic downturn: empirical data for the Russian Federation, obtained on June 24, 2017; decisions made in 2018 to allocate funds for the development of rural households in the Russian Federation are increasingly dependent on non-farm income and cash subsidies, while dependence on land is decreasing. The purpose of this study is to promote a better understanding of the role of villages in emerging market economies such as the Russian Federation, using a typical Russian village as an example. The results show that, depending on macroeconomic conditions, both agriculture-oriented and migrationoriented livelihood strategies can be useful. During periods of economic growth, migration contributes to the growth of the population's income, but for the full development of this process, a developed system of information support is necessary. Such a system will allow not only to organize information about various production processes in rural areas, but also to increase the efficiency of distribution of production and labor resources. Despite long periods of absence, migrants maintain strong links with their home village to better cope with economic downturns. This information helps to optimize production solutions in rural areas and improve the development of the village.
