PROSPECTS OF A DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM FOR RURAL AREAS BASED ON ALGORITHMS FOR THE DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTION OF CONSUMER GOODS IN THE REGIONS OF RUSSIA

This study involves the development of a methodology for assessing the prospects for the introduction of digital ecosystems based on algorithms for the distributed production of consumer goods for the organization of alternative employment in rural areas. The relevance of the scientific work is justified by the need to provide the population of the country's regions with an equal standard of living in conditions of increasing socio-economic turbulence and geopolitical instability. The research methodology involved analyzing the potential of distributed production in rural areas according to the algorithm proposed by the authors, aimed at identifying groups of subjects of the Russian Federation, in accordance with certain indicators, into «Economically active», «Steadily developing», «Potential» and «Specific». The grouping allows us to assess the possibility of forming an ecosystem of digital distributed production services for alternative employment, thanks to which an economic strategy built for rural development. The data obtained can be useful for adjusting programs of the subjects of the Russian Federation, contributing to the support of the population and local producers, and changing the market infrastructure.
