“…According to Martorano (2014), these dramatic changes in policy reactions exacerbated the effects of the crisis, especially in low income countries, and worsened conditions for the poorest children 13 . In Spain, analysis of the National Transfer Accounts before and after the global financial crisis showed the welfare state favoured the elderly and was accompanied by a cut in family income and a consequent dramatic deterioration in child welfare (Soléa et al, 2020). The absence of specific public policies for protecting child well-being, leaving the protection of children essentially in the hands of the family, has proven to be ineffective.…”

“…The absence of specific public policies for protecting child well-being, leaving the protection of children essentially in the hands of the family, has proven to be ineffective. The authors argue that the bias of public resources in favour of the elderly cannot be justified and that this type of policy design demonstrates that children's rights are not institutionalized (Soléa et al, 2020).…”

“…Economic stimulus and social protection responses must be child-sensitive and gender responsive to achieve sustainable impacts on wellbeing: Pandemic policy responses have not, or have poorly addressed, the needs of children (O'Sullivan and Bourgoin, 2010) and countries risk repeating the same approach during the COVID-19 pandemic. While responses to past crises have generally minimized the negative impacts on children, specific children's needs and rights were rarely at the core of policy planning and were not always institutionalized in fiscal and social protection policy (Harper et al, 2011;Soléa et al, 2020). On the contrary, social protection systems in some HIC favour the elderly.…”

The article elaborates on the macro-analysis as related to the aggregated National Transfer Accounts (NTA), the topic originated in the prior publications in Voprosy Statistiki journal (Issues 4 and 11 of 2019), and builds upon the research conducted by HSE National Research University in 2020 as part of Russia’s participation in the global National Transfer Accounts project. The author explored various models of funding the economic life cycle deficit (various support system), adopted by separate groups of economies, through the lens of population savings in these countries. The article was profoundly examined how “excessive” household consumption is supported by public transfers and the correlation between the scale of such transfers and the household sector’s appetite for savings. By taking this research angle, the author aimed to develop deeper understanding of the underlying forces that drive savings into investments within the household sector. The author summarized key parameters of aggregated NTA for Russia in 2017–2019 to produce early quantitative assessments of the deficit funding structure. A closer look into relations between the funding models and incomes saved by population allowed to make cross-country comparisons and map Russia in global environment. The article discussions will be useful to the readers with an interest in demographic studies and socio-economics.

Building upon a series of the author’s prior publications in the journal Voprosy Statistiki (in 2019–2022), this new article further deve- lops the idea of applying National Transfer Accounts (NTAs) as a toolkit for economic and demographic analysis of a wide range of macro patterns in the economy, both nationally and on the regional level. The author highlights the NTAs' practical utility, allowing for a more detailed, compared to the System of National Accounts (SNA), analysis of the reallocation of financial resources, including through the prism of dependents and those who finance them. It includes a concise description of the current research concept and the methodology approach chosen for the analysis.Based on the author's calculations of the analyzed indicators at the national and regional levels, the body of the article confirms that the influence of the age structure of society on consumer spending of the population manifests itself in the priorities of consumer demand. On the macro level, the comparative example of Russia, Sweden and Mexico shows commonalities and specificities in the financing of con- sumer demand by resources of the private and public sectors and the corresponding timespans of running deficit-free economic lifecycle in these countries. As a comparative framework for the Russian economy, the countries with the most (Sweden) and least (Mexico) generous state subsidies for the consumption of the population in the form of current transfer support were selected. In the regional aspect of the analysis, the structural characteristics of the age profile of the regions (from 2011 to 2020) were compared with the accumulated (per capita) dynamics of regional consumer spending with a pronounced age bias (on education and healthcare). The regional results were analyzed in the context of the overall economic situation. The article illustrates the qualitatively different consumer demand priorities of the «young» and «advanced- in-years» regions by the comparative infographics case studying the Republic of Ingushetia and Tver Region (regions with diametrically opposite features of the demographic structure). The author has dealt with consumer behavior models across various ages in the context of the Strauss-Howe generational theory, devised by William Strauss and Neil Howe.The author demonstrates how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the sources of financing household spending on the level of the economy as a whole.The concluding section draws methodological parallels between national transfer accounts and such summary indicators as human de- velopment indices and the UN Sustainable Development Goals to be considered in macroeconomic and regional analysis
