Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to help enhance existing methods for determining the size of budgetary funding to be outlaid for the support of a region’s agriculture. To this end, the authors introduce a methodology that factors in the pursuit of import substitution policy and relies on the level achieved in the previous year to determine a specific amount within overall expenditure from the budget. The study involved investigating a set of factors and conditions that may influence the size of government support for the agricultural sector in a region (herein Siberian Federal District) and surrounding areas, and conducting an analysis of existing techniques for measuring the volume of government support for agriculture. Based on the above research, the authors designed a special methodology for measuring the volume of government support for a region’s agriculture, which determined the size of support for agriculture per 1 ruble of gross output and also implied outlaying additional funding for specific programs on import substitution. The study revealed that, in planning expenditure from the regional budget for 2017, the government should have brought the size of funding on the ‘Agriculture and Fisheries’ section up to at least 609 million rubles (210 million rubles more than in 2016). The findings from this study could be utilized by government authorities in measuring the volume of support provided for the agricultural sector, including in terms of projects on implementing a strategy of import substitution.
Highlights
We applied statistical methods of analyzing data provided by federal statistical authorities; statistical data provided by the Chief Information Analytical Center of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs; data from analytical reports on the topic “Research of the public opinion about the operation of bodies of internal affairs in 85 constituent entities of Russia for 2013-2015 (Maloletko et al, 2014), and sociological quantitative and qualitative methods of research
Many Russian and European researchers consider the problem of migrant crime from various positions, with much attention paid to relevant reasons
European scientists point out that most migrants come from less economically developed countries and regions that are absolutely different in terms of culture (Kofyrin and Politics, 2018); (German Criminologists See Connection Between Crime Growth And Migrant Inflows TASS, 2018); (Kobets, 2017)
Summary
Crimes committed by migrants are primarily caused by the fact that they do not understand the language spoken in a receiving country, their weak integration into the society, the demographic structure of migrants and countries they come from. Most migrants have a low level of education or qualification and have to work, as a rule, not in line with the education obtained. For this reason, in a receiving society, migrants are initially at the lowest social stage and their ability to achieve their goals and improve social status depends above all on improvement in their material welfare. Among other important crime factors researchers name the age of immigrants and refugees, countries they come from, which both economically and culturally differ from receiving countries and regions
