The article considers the problems of development of legal regulation in economic security. It evaluates the questions of formation of institutional factors, which define the system of legal prevention of threats to economic security. The study investigates the problems of transformation of economic security into one of the fundamental categories of the current right, which in turn defined the direction and depth of legal institutional structure of economic security at all levels.

Current legislation allowing to define the features of subject relations in the given sphere is being analysed. The research of acting Russian legislation, as well as the process of identifying the institutional and legal subjects of economic security, allow to construct the model of economic security with phenomenological method of thinking. Modern forms of institutionalization of legal support for economic security are based on the experience of leading regions across the world. The article points out that domestic legal science has significantly improved in conceptualizing the problems of economic security on the basis of classic examples of effective innovation activity.

The article suggests an original approach to economic security system indicators formation at micro level based on the assessment of changes in households' living and financial behavior under economic crisis. An econometric implementation based on the triangular recursive system of equations is used with a multivariate probit model, dealing with unobservable individual heterogeneity, with the bias atributed to omitted variables and endogeneity. The estimation was performed according to the representative survey of the population "The Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey - Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE) (RLMS-HSE, 2017). ; peer-reviewed

THE SOCIAL POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION POSE CHALLENGES UNPRECEDENTED EITHER IN COMMUNIST OR WESTERN CAPITALIST STATES. THE DEEP CRISIS INHERENT IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE CENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMIC SYSTEM, COMBINED WITH MAJOR SYSTEMIC CHANGE, HAS RESULTED IN MASSIVE ECONOMIC DECLINE AND SOCIAL HARDSHIP. COMPLICATED BY THE EFFECTS OF WAGE AND PRICE LIBERALIZATION, THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF RUSSIA'S MARKET-ORIENTED TRANSITION INVOLVE A GENERAL DECLINE IN THE STANDARD AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE MAJORITY OF CITIZENS. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE GROWING INCOME DISPARITIES, UNEMPLOYMENT, AND THE EMERGENCE OF NEW POVERTY GROUPS. ALTHOUGH THE SCOPE OF THE TASK FACING RUSSIA'S SOCIAL POLICY MAKERS IS UNIQUE, RECENT EXPERIENCES IN SOME LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES MAY PROVIDE USEFUL GUIDELINES.

Die Stabilisierungs- und Anpassungsprozesse im Zuge der marktorientierten Transformation haben zu einer tiefgreifenden sozialen Krise in Rußland geführt. Das aus der Sowjetära weitgehend unverändert übernommene System der sozialen Sicherung (Krankenversicherung, Arbeitslosenversicherung, Rentenversicherung) steht unter starkem finanziellen Druck und wird in seiner Leistungsfähigkeit darüberhinaus von administrativen Defiziten geplagt. Gleichwohl ist es der Rentenversicherung bislang gelungen, ein - wenn auch niedriges - Niveau der Existenzsicherung für Rentner aufrechtzuerhalten. Dies trifft jedoch nicht für andere Zweige der sozialen Sicherung wie Familienhilfe oder Sozialhilfe zu. Das Armutsproblem in Rußland betrifft vor allem Menschen in erwerbsfähigem Alter. Die Probleme der sozialen Sicherung in Rußland entsprechen in vielen Aspekten der Situation in lateinamerikanischen Ländern. Armut und sinkender Lebensstandard unterminieren die Unterstützung der Bevölkerung für die Reformpolitik. Gefordert ist eine tiefgreifende, jedoch schrittweise vorgehende Reform des Systems der sozialen Sicherung. (BIOst-Wpt)

The notion "development of intellectual labor for the purpose of economy's security" is viewed as development of society's intellectual potential that includes the protected socio-economic information, developed by a person or a group of persons. The social factors that reduce economic security and their consequences in economy are given, namely: negative dynamics of implementing new progressive technologies into production, insufficient coordination of work in the sphere of innovational development, etc. The forms of intellectual development of human resources (intellectual development of personality, control over intellectual information) are offered, which bring the country's economy to competitiveness and security. The traditional and innovational methods of intellectual labor development are studied (studying in universities and colleges, increase of personnel's qualification in view of academic degrees (Ph.D., doctor of economics), as well as receipt of economic information through Internet resources, scientific publication, statistical information, etc.), as well as the methods of development of IT services and methods of prevention of intellectual diversions and violation of information confidentiality. It is offered to implement the program of equal initial possibilities for intellectual development of human resources in view of access to higher education, creative activities, as well as legal protection for everyone, etc. Analysis of implementation of innovational methods of intellectual labor development supposes planning activities in view of development of intellectual labor for the purpose of the region's economy's security. ; peer-reviewed

Author examines the most important issues (challenges) that have an impact upon Russia's development prospects in the 21st century, and suggests possible ways to support population and the real economy in the presence of a deepening crisis. The author believes that it is necessary to develop a comprehensive government program and create incentives for the industry to develop. The program, on the one hand, will facilitate the transition to a more balanced structure of production, and, on the other hand, encourage companies produce innovative and competitive products. At the same time, within the framework of the fostering program, it is necessary to compose a list of criteria to be met by the companies that expects to obtain support from the government. In order to improvethe labor market situation, first of all, tax incentives for the companies that create new jobs for thehighly-qualified people should be created. It is necessary to reimburse the companies' cost of tuition oradvanced training of employees and to take steps to support labor mobility.
