Forecast of Social and Economic Development of the Russian Federation up to 2024

The report titled Proposals for Russia’s Migration Strategy through 2035 has been prepared by the order from the Centre for Strategic Research. The period that followed the disintegration of the Soviet Union proved to be challenging
for Russia from the perspective of politics, socioeconomics, demographics and migration. The unfavourable demographic trends and the declining and ageing of the population
were partially offset by an influx of temporary and permanent migrants from
other post-Soviet states. But numerous errors in the migration policy led to a decrease in Russia’s migration attractiveness, turning migration into a source of social tension and an instrument of political infighting.

Global human development, which can be measured as a combination of the world’s education, health and living standards, could decline this year for the first time since the concept was introduced in 1990, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warned today. UNDP experts have prepared a document on the current impact of COVID-19 on human development and proposed a Framework for the immediate socioeconomic response.

Experts from the Roscongress Foundation present a review of two articles included in the special edition of the Higher School of Economics ‘’HSE Analytical Bulletin on the Economic and Social Consequences of the Coronavirus in Russia and Globally’’. The articles focus on various volunteering practices that have spread during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In July 2020, a conference of the International Planning History Society (IPHS) will take place in Moscow for the first time. One of the most respected business events in the field of urban studies, the conference is held every two years in different cities across the world.
