ДУНАЙСЬКА СТРАТЕГІЯ ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКОГО СОЮЗУ ТА ЇЇ ВПЛИВ НА СОЦІАЛЬНО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ РОЗВИТОК ОБЛАСТЕЙ-УЧАСНИЦЬ

The EU Danube Strategy aims to ensure the infrastructural, ecological, socio-economic and institutional development of the region. At the same time, the regions of Ukraine participating in the Strategy, still do not have a formalized strategic vision of their participation in the EU Strategy for the Danube region with clearly defined goals and priorities, as well as tools to achieve them. An unresolved problem is the organization of cooperation at the level of business structures, public organizations, institutions of science, education, medicine, sports, etc. The issues of resource provision and their rational use, conservation of the environment and biodiversity of the region require further research. Analysis of the main directions of the EU Danube Strategy and analysis of the natural resource potential, the state of the educational level and professional training of the population in the participating regions, gave the basis for defining the main types of joint activities aimed at developing culture and tourism, expanding contacts between people, preserving biodiversity, reserves, water quality, air and land, as well as for the creation of a single transport complex and for improving the education system, etc. Based on a comparison of individual indicators of socio-economic development, the disproportions of regional development are established and ways to overcome them are determined, in particular, competitive advantages enhancing the significance of the regions of Ukraine in Strategy implementation are identified. Determination of the competitive advantages of the participating regions’ development in the Danube Strategy is of utter importance in the formation of socio-economic development programs and working out the measures for the implementation of the Strategy.

Scenario modelling of the impact of the dynamics of public debt on the gross regional product of Russian regions

The subject of this research is public debt and its impact on the dynamics of the gross regional product (GRP) of Russian regions. The aim of the paper is to study and scenario forecast the dynamics of changes in the internal public debt of Russian regions and model its impact on the gross regional product. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that most regions in Russia are forced to increase their internal public debt to cover the budget deficit and attract additional resources to solve important problems of socio-economic development and implement strategic projects and programs. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a methodological approach to modelling and scenario forecasting of the level of GRP of different groups of regions, taking into account the dynamics of changes in their public debt using ARIMA modelling methods and panel regression analysis. The authors apply the methods of panel regression analysis and ARIMA modelling. The authors theoretically substantiated that public debt has a different effect on the GRP of Russian regions, grouped the regions according to the identified trends in the dynamics of public debt (the first group — regions with the dynamics of debt reduction over the period from 2005 to 2019, the second group — with the all-Russian trend of debt reduction since 2017, and the third group — with the dynamics of increasing debt over the period under review); developed a methodological approach to modelling and scenario forecasting of the GRP level of the Russian regions, taking into account the dynamics of changes in their public debt; carried out ARIMA forecasting of the dynamics of the public debt of different groups of regions and built regression models of the influence of the dynamics of the public debt on the GRP of Russian regions within the selected groups; formed forecast scenarios for changes of the GRP level of regions, taking into account the identified dynamics of transformation of their internal public debt. Conclusions: public debt has a negative impact on the dynamics of the GRP of Moscow and the Moscow region and a positive effect on the dynamics of the GRP of the regions of the second and third groups. The findings of the study may be used by the federal and regional executive authorities to find ways to reduce public debt and increase the level of socio-economic development of territories.

The impact of migration processes on the labor market in the Republic of Moldova

Economic transformations in recent years have produced changes in the social structure, as well as profound demographic changes, which have contributed to demographic aging and declining working age populations. Changes in the structure of the population, accompanied by migration have led to a reduction in the number of people employed, as well as to changes in the structure of employment. The study reveals that the socio-economic situation in the country, the imperfect evolution of the labor market, the diffifculty of securing a decent paying job, have put a signififi cant part of the population on the path of labor migration, which for many has become a necessity rather than a choice. At the same time, the remittances transferred in favor of individuals have become the only source of income for many households. All the above issues are current and, therefore, represent the topic of this research. The research was performed using comparative analysis methods, aided by graphs. Based on the results of this research, certain conclusions and recommendations were developed in order to promote a system of measures aimed at reducing labor migration, by applying sustainable socioeconomic development programs, which would contribute to the creation of new jobs.

Creative industries in russian regions: challenges of establishment and conditions for development

not considered as an object of management research; there is no system for regulating the creative sector of the economy at both federal and regional levels. The choice of methodology remains an open-ended question since there is no single approach to defining the concept and estimating creative industries. The need to fill the methodological, organizational, and managerial gaps in the sphere of the Russian creative economy proves the relevance of the chosen topic and requires its in-depth research. In the article, the researchers present the calculation of the Сomposite Сreativity Index for the regions of the Russian Federation in dynamics for a nine-year period based on the methodology developed by the authors. The purpose of the study is to test the proposed methodology and search for effective organizational and managerial tools for the creative industries development in the Russian regions to establish the programs of territories socio-economic development.

Статус приоритетной геостратегической территории для Астраханской области как возможность реализации инфраструктурных инвестиционных проектов

The article analyzes the regulatory legal framework in the Russian Federation that defines geostrategic territories. The aspects of attributing Russian regions to geostrategic territories in accordance with the Spatial Development Strategy are revealed. Attention is focused on the fact that the legislation does not provide a specific mechanism for supporting such territories. The geographical, political, socio-economic situation and investment potential of the Astrakhan region are analyzed.

There have been found the problems: development of transport infrastructure, ensuring socio-economic development at a pace ahead of the average Russian; development of educational and cultural potential, etc. It is proposed to assign the status of a priority geostrategic territory to the Astrakhan region and to develop a comprehensive program of socio-economic development individually for the region as a support mechanism. It is proposed to include a number of major infrastructure investment projects in the list of activities of the program, which in the future will make it possible to get an economic and social effect, strengthen the position of the Russian Federation in the South of the country

The Role of Regional Agro-Industrial Cluster Enterprises in Improving National Competitiveness

Introduction. The relevance of the research problem is due to the fact that in modern conditions, making a profit is not the only goal and criterion for the successful functioning of enterprises. If recently the activities of many enterprises have been aimed at gaining a market share, now the leading companies are changing their priorities trying to increase the number of regular customers, boost the efficiency of resource use, and meet the consumer demand. Based on the research conducted, the article identifies the role of the regional agro-industrial cluster enterprises producing poultry products in improving national competitiveness. Materials and Methods. The empirical and information base of the study was made up of statistical materials on the stated topic, as well as of departmental reports and accounting statements of the considered enterprises of the regional agro-industrial cluster of the Republic of Mordovia for 2015–2020. The methodological and empirical base used made it possible to competently and professionally analyze the competitive advantages of the considered enterprises and develop recommendations on how to increase their competitive strengths in the national market of poultry products. Results. The conducted research of competitive criteria for goods by regional producers of poultry products made it possible to identify the main areas of activities of these enterprises aimed at improving their competitive positions. The tools for assessing the competitiveness of poultry farming have been theoretically substantiated and developed on the basis of identifying the importance of competitive criteria for regional producers, such as price, quality, packaging, assortment, and image of the manufacturer. Specific recommendations have been developed aimed at strengthening the competitive positions of the enterprises of the regional agro-industrial cluster and at identifying key priorities for the development of a competitive strategy, in order to save resources without losing product quality. Discussion and Conclusion. The recommendations produced will contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the regional producers of poultry products. The results of the study can be used by regional authorities when clustering a region and developing territorial programs for socio-economic development.

Impact of economic conditions on production efficiency of agricultural enterprises

Agro-Industrial Complex in the Economic Policy on Belarus

Purpose: The study aims to verify two hypotheses: 1) in Belarus, the agri-food complex does not exist in the conceptual understanding of the economic 2) the branches of the agri-food sector do not have a significant impact on the economic growth. Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis of dynamics, structure, correlation, and regression were chosen as research methods. The initial data for the study were the materials of official statistics, state programs of socio-economic development. Findings: In Belarus, the complex (referred to as the AIC) is an object of state control and is positioned as a factor in the country's economic growth. The article clarifies the category agro-industrial complex, shows the methods of policy in the AIC and the place of this complex in the structure of the Belarusian economy. The issue was identified, the AIC as a structural unit of the economy and an object of public administration does not have an unambiguous interpretation. Its boundaries are not delineated. It is shown that the state policy in the field of the AIC does not cover the economic complex as integrity, but only two independent types of economic activity - agriculture and food production. Based on the analysis of management methods in the AIC, it was concluded that in Belarus, the AIC as an economic complex of interrelated industries, as a structural unit of the economy does not exist, and the use of the term AIC and its positioning as a locomotive of the state economy is erroneous. It is shown that the agro-food sector does not significantly impact the economic growth of Belarus. Practical Implications: The research results can be used to adjust the state policy in the agri-food sector and substantiate the facts of economic growth. Originality/Value: The article attempts to argue the incorrect positioning of the AIC as the most important economic complex in the national economy of Belarus.

Образовательные стратегии молодежи в СССР в 1950–1960-е годы

Introduction. Currently, the Russian Federation is implementing a state youth policy, the goal of which is to create the necessary conditions for self-realization of youth and their active inclusion in social processes. In this regard, the task of studying the historical experience of the USSR in the field of implementing state youth policy in the 1950s–1960s is actualized. At that time the interests and needs of youth began to be widely taken into account for the first time in the implementation of socio-economic development programs, including in the field of education. The article analyzes the conditions, causes and consequences of the choice of educational strategies by young people, reveals the relationship between the material capabilities of society and the social aspirations of young people. Sources and Methods. This problem is viewed from the point of view of social history, within the framework of the concept of "socialist welfare state". The research is based on archival materials from the collections of GA RF, RGANI, RGASPI. Analysis. The educational opportunities of young people in the early 1950s were significantly limited by the low quality of education, its partial payment; the dominance in the school system of the incomplete seven-year secondary school; a limited number of educational institutions providing vocational training on the basis of a complete secondary school; poor development of evening and distance learning. One of the main negative factors in the choice of educational strategies was the low standard of living. Conclusions. The implementation of the new social policy helped to increase the material capabilities of the population, opened access to higher and secondary education for a wide range of young people. Among the most important prerequisites for the free choice of educational strategies were the abolition of tuition fees, the expansion of the network of ten-year schools, the improvement of the quality of education, and the widespread dissemination of forms of on-the-job training.

Creative Industries in Russian Regions: Challenges of Establishment and Conditions for Development

The most important pillar in the strategy for modernizing resource-based economies is the transition to a new, creative model of socio-economic development. It is the ability of creative and technologically dynamic countries to develop new ideas using advanced technologies. However, under current circumstances, the creative economy is not the main driving force of the Russia's economic growth. This is largely due to the insufficient degree of creative initiatives in most regions and, in general, their creative underdevelopment. Creative industries in Russia are still not considered as an object of management research; there is no system for regulating the creative sector of the economy at both federal and regional levels. The choice of methodology remains an open-ended question, since there is no single approach to defining the concept and estimating creative industries. The need to fill the methodological, organizational, and managerial gaps in the sphere of the Russian creative economy proves the relevance of the chosen topic and requires its in-depth research. In the article, the researchers present the calculation of the Сomposite Сreativity Index for the regions of the Russian Federation in dynamics for a nine-year period based on the methodology developed by the authors. The purpose of the study is to test the proposed methodology and search for effective organizational and managerial tools for the creative industries development in the Russian regions to establish the programs of territories socio-economic development.

ПРАВОВЕ РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ РОЗРОБКИ ЦІЛЬОВИХ ПРОГРАМ ЯК ЕЛЕМЕНТУ ДЕРЖАВНОГО СТРАТЕГІЧНОГО ПЛАНУВАННЯ

The research is focused on specific features of legal regulation of goal-oriented programming as an element of the state long-term planning. It has been indicated that the state long-term planning consists in choosing the priorities of economic development and public administration, determining resources to achieve the goals, elaborating and implementing tasks and measures of socio-economic development. One of the elements of state long-term planning is the development of state goal-oriented programs. Legislative and doctrinal definitions of state goal-oriented programs have been analyzed. The state goal-oriented program should be defined as a set of interrelated scientifically sound tasks and measures of social, economic, scientific, technical, organizational nature aimed at obtaining positive results of the state and society’s development. The state programs determine resources for financing their implementation; they establish the tasks for the executors of specific activities. The legal principles for the development of state and local goal-oriented programs have been determined. It has been clarified that the central and local executive agencies, the National Bank of Ukraine and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have the authorities to develop state goal-oriented programs. Such programs are approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine or the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Local goal-oriented programs are created by the village or city mayor and approved at the village or city council’s sessions. The authors have defined certain stages of the development and approval processes of socio-economic development programs, which include preparation of the concept of the goal-oriented program, coordination with various ministries, conducting scientific and technical, as well as other examinations, public discussions of the program. The authors have formulated propositions for amending the current legislation in regard to public participation in the development of state and local goal-oriented programs, namely: 1) members of the public should have the authorities to initiate the development of state and local programs; 2) public organizations should have the right to offer their own programs for the development of territorial communities or programs to address social and economic problems; 3) propositions of citizens expressed by them during the program’s public discussions must be taken into account in the draft of the relevant program.

Geographical analysis of transformation of water and land resources under the influence of drainage reclamation in Volyn region

Aim. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology that takes into account the levels of anthropogenic transformation of various components of the environment.Method. In scientific work to take into account the impact of qualitative indicators on the process of transformation of landscapes of Volyn region under the influence of drainage reclamation was used P. Shishchenko's method with the following additions: the coefficient of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes was calculated separately for: relief and soils and water regime.Results. Understanding the state of lands transformed in the process of drainage reclamation provides an opportunity to understand the effects of a complex of factors on land and agricultural needs and encourages scientific study of various components of the environment. During drainage reclamation there is an intensive mineralization of the organic part of the soil with a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the processes of peat mineralization are actively developing. The total coefficient of anthropogenic transformation of landscapes was defined as the average value between these coefficients. The results obtained by an improved method allow a more differentiated assessment of the state of transformation of the landscapes of the Volyn region, taking into account the impact of drainage reclamation. These results are adequate, as there is a connection with the industrial development of territories and the level of agricultural development.The scientific novelty lies in the constructive-geographical analysis of the impact of drainage reclamation in the Volyn region on different types of environment.Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in the educational process of VSU named after Lesya Ukrainka and other educational institutions in teaching geographical, economic and tourism disciplines. The results will find their application in the legislative and executive work of local governments in the development of programs of socio-economic development of territorial communities. The materials of the research will promote the rational use of anthropogenic resources and objects of social and household services in Volyn, which will allow to qualitatively influence the course of administrative reform. A number of provisions can be used in similar studies of the regions of Ukraine.

Problems and prospects of strategic planning Of regional development

Problem setting. In the direction of balanced regional development, the state has the opportunity to use such a direct lever of influence on the process as strategic planning. At present stage of reforming of the system of public administration of regional development, its role and importance are especially growing, because strategic planning makes it possible to predict the further development of territories. General purpose of strategic planning is to move to indicative forecasting, information support for objective management decisions at the regional, local and national levels, including concerning increase and effective realization of resource potential of the region, overcoming of depression of territories, realization of structural transformations.
 Recent research and publications analysis. Issues related to regional development are covered in works of such scholars as E. Alaev, G. Balabanov, P. Bubenko, Z. Varnalii, S. Haluza, Z. Herasymchuk, А. Holikov, H. Huberna, M. Dolishnii, L. Zaitseva, U. Ipatov, B. Kliianenko, V. Kravtsiv, O. Krainyk, N. Kuznetsov, L. Kuzmenko, A. Mazur, T. Maksymova, A. Marshalova, S. Melnyk, І. Mykhasiuk, N. Mikula, Y. Navruzov, O. Novoselov, V. Symonenko, D. Stechenko, H. Stolbov, L. Taranhul, S. Tiahlov, V. Khodachek, L. Chervona, М. Chumachenko, B. Shtulberh, M. Yankiv and others.
 Taking into account the significant achievements of the scholars in the field of regional studies, insufficiently complete and in-depth study of the issues of strategic planning of regional development is still worth emphasizing.
 Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The main purpose of the article was to present a wide range of results of the study on the analysis of the problem and to justify the prospects of strategic planning of regional development.
 Paper main body. Public administration of regional development in Ukraine should take into account basic trends of reforming processes in the European Union. Like in European countries, in Ukraine there are normative documents, which frame the strategic planning, i.e. there is every reason to talk about the functioning of the regional development planning system. The main components of this system include: strategic plans for socio-economic development; spatial plans of territorial development (schemes of planning of the territory of the region, general plans and town-planning documentation of settlements); medium-term plans for socio-economic development of the region and targeted development programs for certain areas of activity; short-term programs of socio-economic development.
 Strategic, medium-term and short-term program documents of socio-economic development of the region are related to creating a favorable environment for the development of the regional economy and citizens’ life, meeting basic needs of business sector and people in various services, forming competitive advantages to enter outer markets, stimulation of entrepreneurial activity, active attraction of investments, development of various sectors of economy, etc. Spatial plans of different levels relate to the development of the territory as an object of implementation of urban policy of local authorities, they are tied to a specific space. Therefore, we can talk about two types of program documents. Both types are closely interrelated, contribute to improving the efficiency of the territory, but differ from each other.
 Today, in the field of strategic planning of regional development in Ukraine there are many problems resulting from the lack of a comprehensive system of strategic planning of regional development in the country. In particular, these are the following: inconsistencies between different strategic and planning documents; lack of clear links between planning documents and the budget; lack of a unified approach to planning, uncertainty of the status of sertain strategic documents, political and legal consequences of their non-implementation; inefficient system of public policy evaluation; lack of responsibility for making ineffective management decisions.
 The main directions of strategic planning were identified: intellectual growth of territories, which involves economic development based on the growing development of production infrastructure, knowledge, research, inventions, patents and innovations, i.e. reorientation of regional economies to an innovative model of development; sustainable and continuous growth of territories for creation of an economy based on the efficient use of resources, in particular, environmental resources, and increasing the efficiency of use of natural resources, economic potential of the region; comprehensive growth of living standards through the development of social infrastructure, increasing employment, human resources development and achievement of social well-being; increasing the investment attractiveness of regions and intensifying innovation activity therein, as well as increasing the competitiveness of regions.
 Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Strategic planning of regional development is a powerful tool to unite the interests of the public, local business and local authorities, which has a positive impact on the business climate, community welfare, and competitive position of the territory. It is a creative process of defining strategic directions and agreeing on realistic goals and objectives, implementation of which will help to achieve a better future.

PECULIARITIES OF RESOURCE PROVISION OF SOCIAL PROTECTION OF THE POPULATION OF UKRAINE

On the way to decentralization in order to achieve the goals of territorial development and local needs, local authorities can not do without having complete and comprehensive information on the full range of local resources and their effective management. Considering the resource potential of the region as a set of the whole range of resources that are formed in a given area and can be used in the process of socio-economic development and characterized by saturation of factors of production (natural resources, labor, fixed assets, infrastructure, etc.) and intangible factors, it is clear that it is a prerequisite for the implementation of development programs in the region. For the most part, the resource provision of the process of implementation of socio-economic development programs of the region is reduced to financial support, but in order to achieve the goals of such development, the use of non-monetary resources is no less important.The article identifies the components of resource provision of social protection at the local level, including: economic resources (financial and logistical); regulatory resources (regulatory framework, methodology); administrative resource; innovation resource; information resource. Problematic aspects of resource provision are outlined, among which: insufficient financing and low efficiency of budget funds use; lack of interest in finding additional sources of income; too extensive system of social benefits and privileges; disunity of institutions providing social services; insufficient integration and decentralization of services; low innovation of the sphere; insufficient use of information resources. Tools for improving the management of social protection resources are proposed.
