of Russia The article is devoted to the actual problems of forecasting the financial behavior of the population, including credit and saving activity. Identification of motives of population’s financial behavior, assessing the impact of factors that change the development trajectories of credit and savings processes, are now among important directions of effective organization of financial markets. Depending on the model, to which the perspective behavior of households is oriented it is possible to form a rational strategy for all other participants in the financial process - states, firms, financial intermediaries, etc. The concept of behavioral finances-one of the modern scientific directions, connected with the evaluation of influence on this process not only of economic, but also social factors is chosen for research of the motivation of population’s behavior. On the basis of the analysis of works of domestic and foreign scientists, more than 20 most priority factors which can influence the level of activity of the population in the Far East of Russia have been identified and tested. The analysis showed that there is a clear differentiation in sensitivity to individual factors in the regions of the Far East.

Since the time of Great depression the scientists have been trying to clarify the mechanism behind the influence of diversification on the stability of employment dynamics in the regional economies. The solution to this problem requires, firstly, a definition for the concept of “economic diversification” and, secondly, a way to measure diversification. Many such measures have been proposed over the past decades. The main criterion used to compare different methods is their ability to account for the volatility of a region’s level of employment. However, at present, we are still far from reaching a consensus on which measure reflects diversification best. This paper describes various measures of economic diversification used in modern regional studies. The advantages and disadvantages of each of them are given. The conclusion drawn from this analysis is that none of the measures considered here should be used to develop economic policy. The empirical patterns established with the use of these measures cannot be considered reliable without the developed theoretical basis.

The article is dedicated to the independent assessment of the quality of school education. The author looks at one of the elements of the unified system of education quality assessment in the Russian Federation – All-Russian Assessment Tests. All-Russian Assessment Tests are examined as a tool of management of education quality rather than a tool of independent assessment of student educational achievements as they are commonly perceived in pedagogics. In the course of the study the author analyzed sociological data, collected during the administration of All-Russian Assessment Tests in 2017. Peculiarities of the organization of school educational process, demographic characteristics of teachers, students and their parents, the location of schools and other indicators were considered. The findings of the questionnaire and the results of the federal project “The development of effective mechanisms of complex monitoring of education quality on the basis of assessment results” allowed to identify typical characteristics of educational organizations of the Khabarovsk territory that demonstrate low level of student achievement on a regular basis. Taking into account international experience the author proposes the strategies of educational policy aimed to improve the quality of education at a particular school and in the whole region.

The article considers different approaches to the definition of the concepts of "social management", "management of social development" in relation to the organization. It is revealed that at the micro level these concepts are identified. It is defined that in relation to the organization it is a question of social management. A clarifying definition of the concept of social management is proposed. It is revealed that the problems of quality management of the organization are not fully worked out, there is no single approach to the content of the concept, often the concepts of "quality management" and "management of quality" are identified. The article describes different approaches of the definition of "quality of organization management". It is determined that in modern sources the quality of organization management is considered in a narrow way, unilaterally-mainly from the point of view of economic factors, without affecting the social aspect. The clarifying definition of quality of organization management is offered.

In the implementation of the PRC initiative, entitled «One Belt One Road» (OBOR) the cultural exchanges and cooperation are seen as an effective way to strengthen and develop national cultures and promote mutual rapprochement of peoples. The intensification of relations between Russia and China in the sphere of cultural industries is not only an important component of the OBOR initiative, but also is one of the important ways of cooperation between countries. As part of this cooperation, China and Russia have made significant progress; in particular, there has been a steady expansion of the spheres of interaction, platforms and geography of cultural projects. In the current situation, there are factors both stimulating and deterring the development of cooperation between the two countries in the cultural industry, and although China and Russia will have to go through an uneasy path of development of cooperation in this sphere, its potential is unlimited.

Legal awareness of the population is formed through a variety of communication channels. An all-Russian survey of public opinion on assessing the level of legal culture has shown that citizens use mainly non-specialized sources of information, such as mass media (television, radio, news Internet publications), as well as social networks in order to obtain information on existing legislative norms and their changes, forums, etc. At the same time, information obtained from such sources is characterized by spontaneity, lack of completeness and often carries conflicting information. This largely affects the level of legal knowledge of citizens, their legal behavior, as well as their ability to assert their legitimate rights and interests in the event of any violations by authorities or unscrupulous employers.
