The relevance of the topic. The development of small business is one of the key strategic government objectives. In this context, the digitalization of small businesses is an important component of overall economic progress, requiring predictive analysis and assessment of the level of digital development. Goal. Statistical analysis of the comparative level of progress in the digitalization of small businesses. Methodology. System analysis, comparisons, induction, as well as tabular processing and visualization of research results. Results and conclusions. The work established that, in general, the implementation of digital technologies in small businesses is at the average level for the economy. A more detailed analysis established that the main application of digital technologies for small businesses is the leisure, entertainment, sports, culture sector, as well as the repair of personal and household goods. In other respects, including in the manufacturing industry, the level of digital development of small organizations is below average for all sectors of the economy. This is due to the predominant concentration of small businesses in Russia in trade. The study showed that the most technologically advanced small companies in digital terms are concentrated in the areas of providing repair services and providing leisure. Scope of application. Small business, the area of control and analysis of structural development of the economy and digitalization.

Relevance of the topic. In 2020, the Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zone of Russia until 2035 was adopted. Due to the significance of the Arctic, in terms of the wealth of natural resources, the transport significance of the Northern Sea Route, ensuring the security of the northern borders of the country, the document is a set of strategic planning goals of particular importance for national security. Purpose. Assessment of the current stage and prospects of the Arctic zone development strategy. Methodology. Systems analysis, induction, tabulation comparison methods and visualization of study results. Results and conclusions. The Arctic is a key source of fuel resources for domestic needs and export operations, which determines its main specialization in mining. However, resource wealth is not limited to fuel, which indicates the prospects for diversification of the region's economy. One of the negative factors of development is a significant migration outflow of the population to regions with a more favorable climate, which is caused by both climatic factors and a reduction in the economic base of processing and extractive industries. The strategy aims to improve the quality of socio-economic indicators of the Arctic zone of Russia (a total of 14 target indicators) compared to the base period 2018—2019. with an intermediate stage period of 2025. The study is aimed at assessing the implementation of the objectives of the Arctic Zone Development Strategy in 2024. Analysis of the dynamics and prospects for the implementation of strategic planning goals was carried out. The results obtained demonstrate the need to reassess the target parameters of the Strategy, since with a high degree of probability it can be argued that most of them will not be achieved in modern political and economic conditions. Scope. Assessment of the effectiveness and adjustment of measures for the development of the economy of the Arctic zone and the overall implementation of its development strategy.

Topic. Human capital is a strategically important resource that ensures the innovative development of the national economy. Current economic and political events have exacerbated the need to accelerate import substitution processes in high-tech industries and brought to the fore the need to achieve technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation in order to reduce political and economic pressure from unfriendly states. Within the framework of solving these tasks, it is difficult to overestimate the value of the education system in the formation, accumulation and multiplication of human capital, as well as in the implementation of the function of transmitting cultural and moral values. Therefore, a detailed study of the functioning of the educational system has always remained relevant directions for domestic cars. Target. A retrospective statistical analysis of the system of preschool, secondary and higher education in Russia to assess the dynamics of its condition and search for solutions to improve its level. Methodology. Such methods of general scientific knowledge as analysis, synthesis, tabular and graphical methods of generalization and visualization were used in the work. Results and conclusions. The study found that the system of preschool, secondary (including vocational) and higher education in Russia in its modern form was formed during the 1960s and 1970s, when the average performance of these institutions was achieved to date. The Institute of Higher Education (postgraduate and doctoral studies) in the Soviet period was characterized by relatively stable performance indicators. However, in the post-Soviet years there was a sharp surge in the number of graduate students and doctoral students, which was partially stopped by the reform of higher education in 2014—2015, as a result of which the number of graduates of higher education sharply decreased. Application area: management in the field of education, analysis and forecasting of human capital.
