Cultural construction in rural areas of Russia

Zhang Hongli, He Qiang

The process of globalization has led to approximately common problems faced by people living in rural areas in many countries of the world. The key problems include, first of all, the search for activities that can bring real, permanent income and at the same time generate employment. In this regard, it should be noted that in Russia, the rural economy can be called a single-industry economy, since agriculture is still the main sphere of employment in rural areas. The situation is further complicated by the low level of labor productivity in the industry. Some experts say that it is 8-10 times lower than in the most developed countries. The low level of labor productivity is due to insufficient investment and technological factors, as well as the underdevelopment of other areas of employment of rural residents. The development of rural tourism and active cultural construction in rural areas of Russia will be able to turn the situation around.
