Structural problems of economic growth of the Russian Federation
One of the central places in the economy of any country is given to economic growth. Economic growth is an indicator of the ability of the economic system to meet the needs of society, improve the quality and standard of living. Economic growth is understood as a tendency to increase the production of goods and services in the country, accompanied by an increase in income and welfare of the population. It reflects the quantitative changes in the economy of the state and is part of the process of economic development. In addition, sustained economic growth contributes to addressing critical social and economic issues and to the implementation of active and competent public policies. Competent policy of the state can use different instruments for stimulating economic growth: the development of market infrastructure, increasing productivity, improving the investment climate, the availability of credit resources, etc. However, economic growth may have negative or if zero growth, when the level of the national production remains at the same level. Then we are talking about the problems of economic growth. Among the problems of economic growth are: different rates of population growth in the world, reduction of resources, environmental pollution, income differentiation and others. In our opinion, the development of theoretical provisions and recommendations to address the main structural problems of economic growth and directions of the state policy to stimulate economic growth in the Russian Federation can help the management to develop a number of measures for the stable and sustainable development of the Russian economy.
