ECONOMY, PANDEMIC, CLIMATE CHANGE: ONE CAUSE OF PROBLEMS – ONE POSSIBILITY FOR SOLUTION

The importance of small business development in Russia is ambiguous.Some experts consider it underestimated, others -hypertrophied.These issues are considered in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of employment in small business.In terms of the sectoral structure, employment in small businesses is more consistent with the post-industrial model than in large and medium-sized enterprises.The high level of Russian employment is provided mainly due to its development.But the statement about the significant effectiveness of small businesses is not confirmed.Moreover, both in Russia and abroad, the task of new industrialization is being actualized, which is not consistent with the postindustrial model and the expansion of small business.Therefore, the prospects for its development are associated with the strengthening of cooperation with large and medium-sized enterprises both within Russia and at the intercountry level.
