Analysis of the problems and potential of the development of family entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation

Purpose: of the study is determining the prospects and conditions for the development of family entrepreneurship in modern Russia.

Methods: the study of the research subject area within the framework of systematic and interdisciplinary approaches was carried out using content and logical analysis of scientific and expert publications, as well as the use of general scientific methods of abstraction, generalization and classification and specialized techniques for processing and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data using expert and statistical methods.

Results: the relationships between the categories “family” and “economy” have been clarified. The mechanism of interaction of the family enterprise with the business environment of the national socio-economic system is analyzed. The state and tasks of institutionalization of the family enterprise are characterized. An empirical assessment of the dynamic and structural characteristics of the functioning of the family enterprises in the field of small and medium-sized enterprises has been carried out. The changes in the characteristics of the profile of the household behavior model in the areas of production and consumption of goods are analyzed including the identification of an increasing priority of private financing of educational services to increase the level of intellectual capital of families. The key trends in the development of family entrepreneurship have been identified. A conceptual approach to the identification of problem areas and the selection of priority areas for the development of family entrepreneurship is proposed.

Conclusions and Relevance: based on the analysis of the mechanism of interaction between family and economic institutions, the participation of the family enterprise in the reproductive process of the national economy is characterized. The values underlying family relations objectively contribute to strengthening the stability of the economy and the stability of society. The prospects for the development of family entrepreneurship depend to a certain extent on the institutionalization of the concept of "the family enterprise" in the Russian legislation. An empirical assessment of the structural and dynamic characteristics of the functioning of family entrepreneurship guides the development of necessary state support measures, taking into account the identified regional uneven saturation of the local economy with the family enterprises, which makes it possible to identify reserves and areas of growth for the potential of Russian family business.
