Full text

The purpose of the study is to identify the population groups in the Republic of Dagestan according to the peculiarities of socio-economic behavior and life support strategies. The study was conducted using machine learning methods based on multidimensional data analysis algorithms. Using the cluster analysis on Rosstat’s Household Budget Survey data for 2016–2023, five population types with different behavioral patterns were identified. Among them, the dominant model stands out (42% of the population), in which the economic stability of households located mainly in rural areas is achieved not through the labor market and social transfers, but through the resources of the extended household and subsistence production. The natural income in this group exceeds the national level by 3,5 times. This cluster is organically supplemented by underage household members of the above group, which makes up 62% of the sample. A separate group of the rural population is consisted of rural pensioners, whose well-being relies mainly on federal support, in contrast to urban pensioners, whose incomes depend mainly on regional sources. These two groups are not very numerous (3,8 and 4,5% of the sample, respectively). About 30% of the sample includes the active urban population. The results of the study indicate the low effectiveness of standard social policy instruments (monetary benefits to individuals) for a significant part of the region’s population and the need to move to the development of rural infrastructure, as well as the development of targeted socio-demographic policy, taking into account the identified regional specifics.

Keywords: cluster analysis, machine learning, typology of socio-economic behavior of the population, Republic of Dagestan, households, subsistence farming, social policy.

VALIDITY OF GOALS IN STATE GOVERNANCE, AS WELL AS CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF ITS LACK (ON THE BASE OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS)

49-70

349.82 KB

Full text

The subject of this study is the phenomenon of the validity (reasonableness) and, consequently, the unreasonableness of goals in domestic state governance. This theme is a logical continuation of the study of the problem of achievability of goals, which is closely related to the quality of state governance. A study of the scientific literature on this topic has shown the urgent problem in many areas of state governance. An analysis of the phenomenon’s manifestation in practice has allowed us to identify nine different types of unreasonable- ness that occur in relation to both qualitative and quantitative goals. The main reasons why the unreasonableness of goal setting takes place in the domestic state governance are high- lighted. The most significant consequences of the practice of unreasonable goal setting for both state governance and the Russian economy are described. A theoretical comprehension of goal reasonableness phenomenon facilitates to describe the conditions or components of the validity of goal-setting, that are relevance, achievability and optimality, and the latter as a special case includes effectiveness. In conclusion, recommendations to reduce the severity of the problem of unjustified goals in Russian state governance are formulated. In particular, it is important to understand that the adoption of unreasonable goals often leads to the failure to achieve these goals, so huge amounts of federal and other budgets are spent without proper results. Therefore, increasing the validity (reasonableness) of the goal setting and, accordingly, revising the newly proposed and already approved goals of state governance for their validity (reasonableness) 1) would increase the achievability of state governance goals; 2) would free up significant amounts of the federal budget, significantly reduce the problem of the federal budget deficit.

Keywords: quality of public administration, criteria for the quality of goal setting, validity of goals, achievability of goals, relevance of goals, consistency of goals, optimality of goals, quantitative and qualitative goals, strategic and operational goals.

UNMET NEEDS OF RUSSIANS FOR MEDICAL CARE: LEVEL AND FACTORS

71-86

338.55 KB

Full text

The aim of this study, which forms the basis of the article, is to assess the level of unmet medical needs in Russia and the factors associated with them. The analysis is based on data from the 2021 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), the most recent representative data available on this topic. Unmet need was measured by asking whether respondents had, in the past 12 months, been unable to receive necessary medical care due to issues of accessibility (cost), availability (waiting time), or acceptability (time constraints). Waiting time was the most frequently reported reason. Individuals with health problems, as well as young people, were more likely to experience unmet needs for all reasons. Women, single individuals, residents of small towns, and people with low socioeconomic status or without insurance more often faced financial barriers; employed residents of large cities using alternative medicine reported time-related barriers; and people with secondary or higher education, low socioeconomic status, urban residents, and users of traditional or alternative medicine experienced barriers due to waiting times. The identified patterns highlight the need for policies aimed at improving equal access to medical care and the efficiency of the healthcare system.

Keywords: unmet health care needs, causes of unmet health care needs, International Social Survey Program (ISSP), Russia.

Full text

Labor productivity is a key indicator of socioeconomic development and an important benchmark for state economic policy. In the context of the implementation of the new federal project “Labor Productivity” and the need to achieve national targets, developing a systems-based approach to managing labor productivity across the entire economy is particularly relevant. The aim of this study is to develop a system-based understanding of the goals and mechanisms of labor productivity management in the Russian Federation at the macro, sectoral, and organizational levels and to substantiate development directions for these systems in the current conditions. The research methods included the analysis of regulatory and policy documents, statistical and comparative analysis of labor productivity and employment indicators by economic sector, and a systems-based approach. The analysis substantiates the need to shift from primarily targeted measures to improve labor productivity to a multi-level management system encompassing the system, sectoral, and organizational levels. A conceptual model of labor productivity management is pro- posed, focused on the institutional synchronization of national projects, industry programs, and productivity-improvement tools, as well as the development of a productivity culture as a prerequisite for the sustainability of achieved results.

Keywords: labor productivity, labor productivity management system, social sphere, federal project.
