REGIONAL FEATURES OF BIRTH AND TERMINATION OF RUSSIAN ENTERPRISES IN 2020

Abstract

The development of the Russian economy is associated with an increase in the number of actually functioning enterprises. The aim of the study was to assess the indicators reflecting the specific weights of the number of births and termination of activities in the total number of active enterprises in 2020, as well as the ratio of these indicators by regions of Russia. The study was based on official statistics on the number of active, born and terminated enterprises in Russia. In the course of the research, the following relative indicators were studied: the share of newly born enterprises in the total number of active enterprises; the proportion of enterprises that have ceased operations in the total number of active enterprises; the ratio of the number of born and terminated enterprises. The assessment of these indicators was carried out for all regions of the country; their average values ​​and intervals of change, typical for most regions, have been determined; the regions with the maximum and minimum levels of indicators have been identified. The main results of the study are as follows: it is shown that the average value of the ratio of the number of born and terminated enterprises by regions of Russia in 2020 was 0.49; it was proved that in the absolute majority of regions the number of enterprises that ceased operations exceeded the number of newly born enterprises; the average for the regions was determined for the specific weights of enterprises born and ceased operations, which amounted to 6.46 and 13.87, respectively, of the total number of active enterprises. The proposed methodological approach and tools can be used in scientific research on the demography of enterprises, namely, when monitoring the proportion of enterprises born and stopped operating in the regions of Russia. The results of the work can be applied in the current activities of government agencies and public organizations when justifying measures to significantly increase the number of new enterprises based on the support of people who wish to create their own business. In addition, it is essential to help enterprises that are at the stage of extinction in order to get them out of the crisis state. Further research can be carried out to assess the industry characteristics characteristic of these types of enterprises.
