Basic Course

Transformations in the sphere of federal relations concern the most important directions of the reforming processes in the country. However, not all proposed and actually developing components of the federal reform seem well-argued and corresponding to long-term, strategic interests of the Russian statehood. The basic course of reform should meet the objective requirements of further decentralization of governing economic and social processes and the need to ensure strengthening the responsibility of RF subjects’ executive bodies and local self-management for steady social and economic development of their territories. The solution of these problems calls for a new model of federal policy of regional development, specification of some important components of the municipal reform as well as inserting certain amendments into the system of intergovernmental fiscal relations in order to stir up their stimulating function.

The Relationship

The nature of the relationship between economic development and income inequality has long been the subject of considerable debate. Economic growth has very different effects on poverty, depending on a country’s level of income inequality. In high inequality countries, economic growth that raises the overall level of income disproportionately tends to benefit the rich, whereas policies that encourage economic growth while reducing income inequality will greatly accelerate the achievement of poverty reduction goals. Thus, understanding how income inequality and economic development are linked is important for establishing economic growth policies that reduce poverty. The literature on the economic development–income inequality nexus in industrial society places emphasis on the causes of current social inequality. The central and most cited paper in the literature is S. Kuznets’s “Economic Growth and Income Inequality” (1955), which proposed an inverted U-shaped relationship between development and inequality over the course of industrialization. Some scholars have tried to build upon Kuznets’s theory by focusing on his claim that income inequality is a function of the nature of regulations put on the market. Other studies deal with the importance of studying the relationship between democracy and inequality, the effect of the nature of the government on shaping inequality compared to industrialization, and the implications of globalization for income inequality. This overview of the literature shows that there is little true consensus on the relationship between inequality and development and highlights two major areas for improvement: measurement and data quality.

Quantitative And Qualitative Methods

Small and Medium Enterprises are the key to the national economic development as a way to improve its population livelihood. The main reason for this sector is a potential employment with the low cost of the capital. The contribution of small and medium enterprises run by women in society was recognized to the employment generation, gender equality and economic development. A personnel initiative, vision, and innovation to grow their businesses are well needed. In this research 15 districts out of 30 were selected to get all needed data, and thirteen (13) women were communicated in each selected district (15) as a sum of a hundred and ninety-five (195) correspondents. The combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used to analyze data, and questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. Our results have been proved that small and medium enterprises run by women and sustainability of Rwandan economic development were closely related as the SMEs run by women increase and employment opportunities also increase. It was noted that women owned SMEs is a central driving effort behind gender equality, poverty reduction, and job creation. Therefore, it is recommended that the government might set the policy to encourage women in doing business whereby women in different regions of Rwanda should be given enough attention in economy activities through both small and medium enterprises, and entrepreneurship.

The ability of regions to the competition in the international market to use of modern approaches to social and economic development, defines a vector of intensive advance of the Russian economy. Existence of worthy infrastructure and its full functioning become a guarantee of successful development of economy and social sphere of the country and particular regions. Therefore, for its updating and full functioning implementation of infrastructure projects is necessary. The specificity of implementation of infrastructure projects has been designated: excessive capital intensity, long payback periods, increased complexity and large scales (including territorial scales). Conditions of limited budgetary financing of infrastructure predetermine the need of attracting private investments. So, the mechanism of public-private partnership in the concept of long-term social and economic development of the Russian Federation up to 2020 is designated as one of priority tools, which emphasizes the importance of a problem. The potential of expansion of opportunities for implementation of infrastructure projects at the expense of mechanisms of public-private partnership has been studied. Special attention is paid to the practice of implementing infrastructure projects in the territory of the Astrakhan region. There have been presented practices of such projects, mainly in the form of concessions, strategic priorities of development of public-private partnership on the territory of the Astrakhan region for implementation of infrastructure projects. The Astrakhan shipbuilding production association is taken as an example of successful realization of public-private partnership mechanism. The leading shipbuilding and ship repairing plants of the region make its basis. There has been given the rating of the Russian regions in terms of the development of public-private partnership during 2017. Since 2015 there has been stated positive dynamics of development parameters of public-private partnership in the region. As of 2017, in the region there are realized eighteen projects, among which one project is of a regional level, and seventeen projects are the municipal events.
