National Support Programs for Single-Industry Towns Development in the Russia Federation: Retrospective Analysis of Efficiency

Abstract

The priority of the balanced socio-economic development of single-industry towns for the economic policy of the Russian Federation explains the active usage by the Government of the Russian Federation of mechanisms for adapting single-industry towns to changes in the external environment, involving large-scale and systematic federal resource support, i.e. government programs. However, often the planned values of indicators of state programs for the socio-economic development of single-industry towns are formally formulated and do not allow judging the degree of achievement of their goals. The listed circumstances determine the need for scientific research, within the framework of which a retrospective analysis of the efficiency of state programs to support their development was carried out using the example of single-industry towns of the Chelyabinsk oblast of the Russian Federation. The article presents the results of the study of target indicators system that allow to carry out a retrospective analysis of the efficiency of state programs to support the development of single-industry towns, and the results of testing the identified criteria for the program "Integrated development of single-industry towns in the Chelyabinsk oblast".
