The article analyzes the practice of implementing measures for the development of the digital economy in the regions of the Russian Federation. The authors considered the question of the variety of definitions of the digital economy, and concluded that the world Bank provides the most appropriate definition of the "digital economy" within the framework of the topic under study. This allowed the regions of Russia to be singled out among the key participants of the digital economy. Based on the results of the study, the authors concluded that there is a high involvement of Russian regions in the processes of digital transformation of the economy. At the same time, there is a delay in legal regulation of the ongoing processes: the implementation of the Federal project "Digital region" in 2020 was suspended, but the regions continued to actively develop digital solutions and apply digital technologies to solve economic and social problems.
Humanitarian workers operate in complex environments with various challenges and demanding working conditions. These challenges put aid workers in a range of risks and under the pressure. However, human resources are crucial for success of humanitarian operations in general. At the same time, each humanitarian operation is reliant on logistics and logistics activities are always connected with logistic staff. Understanding what motivates logisticians to join the humanitarian sector is essential information for humanitarian organizations and for recruiters within. Also, knowing which factors influence motivation and job satisfaction of humanitarian logisticians could help the organizations to struggle with the extremely turnover they have to face. Up to this moment, needed skills and the performance of humanitarian logisticians were examined. Also, the motivators of humanitarian workers are covered in previous research. Therefore, the additional aim of this research is to extend the knowledge about the human resources in humanitarian sector as well.
The article is devoted to the consideration of approaches and assessment of the efficiency of management of investment portfolios of non-state pension funds. This article is a logical continuation of the previously conducted research on assessing the effectiveness of pension savings management and contains an analysis of the effectiveness of the second component of investment portfolios of non-state pension funds (NPF) — pension reserves. The article examines the factors influencing the efficiency of managing the portfolios of pension reserves of non-state pension funds on the basis of statistical data on 28 NPFs for 2013–2018. The factors chosen were the volumes and growth rates of the funds attracted from pension reserves, the share of pension reserves in the economies of scale of non-state pension funds, the presence of risk strategies (the share of shares and investment units), and the amount of remuneration of management companies. The aim of the study is to assess the influence of the selected factors on the efficiency of managing the portfolio of pension reserves of NPFs based on the construction of econometric models. The construction of one-factor and multi-factor econometric models confirms the absence of dependence of the effectiveness of portfolios of pension reserves of APFs, determined by the Sharpe ratio, on the size of attracted pension reserves per one insured person; from the share occupied by NPFs in the non-state pension market, as well as from remuneration to management companies paid by non-state pension funds. The influence of the chosen investment strategy and the growth rate of pension reserves on the efficiency of managing pension reserves of NPFs is revealed.
The article deals with the development of the pension savings market in the Russian Federation. The population is one of the key participants in the pension savings market. The authors investigate the factors, conditions and incentives for the development of the pension savings market. Factors and conditions form the preconditions for the development of the Russian market for pension savings. The conditions for the functioning of participants in the pension savings market are formed by the state. Market prospects are linked to Generation Z. Factors and conditions, together with incentives, create incentives for Generation Z to accumulate retirement. The study includes some statistical data on key indicators of the Russian pension savings market and some results of a study of the behavior and attitudes of generation Z to the pension savings market. Analysis of statistical data showed a decrease in institutional participants in the pension savings market, which is due to objective and subjective factors, as well as the tightening of conditions for the functioning of participants in the pension savings market. The results of the study make it possible to reveal the reasons for the emerging vector of development of the pension savings market, to determine the level of financial literacy of generation Z in relation to the pension savings market, and to determine the attitude towards this market. The study shows that without the activation of factors, incentives and conditions, generation Z will not begin to form a demand for the services of non-state pension funds. Economic and institutional factors influence Gen Z’s attitudes towards retirement savings. The behavioral aspect of generation Z in the pension savings market should be taken into account by the state when creating conditions for the development of the pension savings market.
