Subject . Economic science is called upon to offer effective solutions to maintain and increase the well being of society, which cannot be achieved without the effective functioning of the agricultural sector. But problems in this industry still persist. Therefore, it is necessary to search for new, more advanced approaches to the concept of agricultural development. Topic . Modern practice proves that it is not enough to consider economic phenomena using traditional classical aspects. Institutional theories more accurately reflect the content of ongoing processes, since they take into account a greater number of factors and patterns of development of a market economy. Purpose. The objectives of the study are the justification of the applicability of the institutionalism methodology for the implementation of reforms in the region’s agriculture, as well as the development of recommendations for the institutional improvement of the agricultural sector in modern conditions. Methodology. To achieve the goal of the study, the article systematizes the theoretical approaches of institutionalism based on systemic and dialectical methods, which should be used in drawing up an agrarian management program. Results . As a result of the survey, the specifics of transaction and transformation costs in agriculture are considered, the conclusion is substantiated on the practical applicability of the theory of institutionalism in the agricultural policy of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Applicationarea . Agricultural sphere at the regional level. Conclusions . The creation and functioning of an effective agrarian policy in modern conditions faces a number of difficulties that can be combined in two directions. The first is due to the lack of interaction between institutions of different spheres of action of the institutional space, which form the proper institutional relations. The second problem is the absenteeism of a renewed, industrially developed industry, competitively harmoniously integrated into the economic space, resistant to external challenges. The institutional space of the agrarian sphere as an independent category within the framework of institutional and spatial research cannot exist autonomously and without due interconnection with the general economic space. Therefore, the state, the interacting industries and the whole society as a whole should be interested in agrarian transformations.

Application . Practice of forming a system for monitoring the implementation of regional strategies. Conclusions . The practice of forming a system for monitoring the implementation of regional strategies needs to be improved, providing for the expansion of target indicators that are necessary and sufficient for an adequate assessment of the main results of cluster activation, new industrialization, and innovative development of the economy of the subjects of the Russian Federation

The country’s food consumption by the population of the country is an important indicator of food security, since this concept includes not only food independence, but also the availability of food for the population. The most fully available food can be estimated by the volume of consumption of goods of the main food groups. In the course of the study, an assessment was made of the change in the volume of consumption of the main food groups of goods. As a result, it was found that the volume of consumption of milk, dairy products, eggs, bread products, potatoes and sugar in 2018 is lower than the level of1 1980, while for fruits, berries, vegetables, melons, fish, fish products, meat and meat products, on the contrary, is higher .Another direction of the study was a comparison of food consumption in urban and rural households. The study made it possible to determine that in 1980 there was a serious difference in consumption volumes. The rural population significantly less than the urban population consumed meat, milk, fish, fruits, berries and significantly more bread products and potatoes. The positive change was that by the end of 2018, differences in consumption volumes were minimized.

Subject. Global migration, its development trends, problems related to the control and regulation of these processes. Topic. Influence and control of migration flows through the consent of all countries to a tolerant, but at the same time reasonable international policy on global migration, as well as by following the trends in the development of this process. Purpose. Analysis of migration flows, which allowed classifying international migrants by specific groups. The problem of international migration is becoming more and more important every year. For this reason, a reasonable approach to the development and implementation of countries ‘ actions in relation to migration flows is necessary.Methodology. Methods of logical and comparative analysis of the impact of migration flows on international policy. Results . In the course of research, modern trends in the development of international migration are highlighted, and problems related to the control and regulation of these processes are considered. The analysis of migration flows has helped to create modern additions that will allow us to develop a reasonable international policy on global migration. Applicationarea . Scope of international regulation. Conclusions . Trends in international migration, despite their relative stability over time, require modern additions for a number of reasons: the increase in the share of immigrants in the General structure of the World’s population indicates the intensity of migration flows along the main «corridors». Gradually slowing down the process of globalization will have a direct impact on the movement of labor resources in the future, while eliminating the multidirectional nature of this phenomenon in the present. The gap in the standard of living of many countries contributes to the development of migration. In modern conditions, the increase in North - South migration is mainly due to the gap in GDP per capita between Europe and the countries of North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the demographic gap between the aging population of developed countries and the rapidly growing young population of developing economies.

Subject . State policy to support young families, focused on improving their well being.

The author summarizes the domestic and foreign experience of supporting young families, justifies the strategic goal and makes recommendations for the development of state support for young families by expanding state participation in housing construction and financial motivation of investors from the construction industry interested in obtaining direct benefits. Conclusions .1. The Purpose of state support for young families at the Federal, regional and local levels is to establish and develop a well off family and improve its quality of life, as well as to encourage young families to perform socio demographic functions, that is, to increase the birth rate.2. As a result of investing money in the construction of housing for young families, the investor becomes a beneficiary, because, first, timely delivery of the objectit increases the reputation and saves time, labor and financial costs, and secondly, gets ownership of more than half of the area of the house used for personal commercial activities. Young family, received the status of the participant, for the proper fulfilment of the contract, in addition to the certificate to receive subsidies from the state should own its own or borrowed funds for one time repayment of the remaining part of the cost of housing, which will allow the construction company not to delay the construction period, with the funding for construction works at the same time.3. To solve the problem of insufficient funding for the event «Providing housing for young families», it is proposed to increase the share of state participation by changing the standard of social payments provided at the regional level to 70 % of the cost of housing.
