Актуальные проблемы развития регионов России: экономика и демография

Abstract

The subject of the study is the relationship between Russian regions and the federal center based on the analysis of the degree of effectiveness of subsidies provided to them from the federal budget. The purpose of the work is to establish the expediency of expanding the legal framework of the subjects of the Russian Federation to solve their demographic and economic problems and ensure sustainable growth. The influence of partial financing of national projects on solving demographic and economic problems is considered, and the need to take into account the peculiarities of the region in conducting regional policy is shown. The concept of a "chronically lagging region" has been introduced. It is shown that by reducing the supermortality of men of working age, compensation for more than 80% of the population loss is possible. The reduction of male supermortality in Russia has been identified as a priority task of financial, budgetary and health policy. It is noted that the differentiation of the population by wealth in poor regions is greater than the national average. It is concluded that in Russian statistics it is necessary to identify metropolitan statistical areas that do not coincide with the existing metropolitan statistical area, on the basis of which the growth of large cities takes place. Initiatives have been put forward to hold annual negotiations between federal and regional governments on the size of transfers and to reconsider the consideration of a healthy environment as a national and territorial, and not only as a global public good.
