For the purpose of sustainable development

Among the main priorities that are laid down in the program of socio-economic development of the Republic of Belarus until 2025 are named strong regions, which are understood as comfortable and safe living and working conditions, quality and affordable social infrastructure, high mobility, investments in new production and productive employment. At that, the regional development strategy implies the implementation of investment projects in the lagging regions - on the use of local resources and creation of new industries, and in the territories with preferential treatment - on the creation of high-tech export-oriented industries. It is clear that the more efficient are the jobs in the regions, the higher is the productivity there, the more attractive will be the life outside the capital. In this regard, the first task is to create the conditions for the emergence of enterprises with highly productive jobs and high wages in the regions. How are these issues already being addressed in practice? This is the subject of the proposed study.
