Annotation: The article provides a comparative analysis of approaches to determining the quality of life of the population as the most important strategic factor in ensuring national and global security, not only on the basis of assessing the basic living conditions of people and the effectiveness of their life, but also the population’s own attitude to these factors. Modern approaches to defining the content of the concept of “quality of life” are analyzed, and the system of indicators for assessing the quality of life according to The United Nations methodology, as well as other alternative methods, is analyzed. A new methodology for measuring and evaluating the quality of life of the population in modern society is proposed. It takes into account such important indicators of living conditions as public safety, social stability, energy, transport and information infrastructure, as well as the duration of healthy life of people. It is shown that one of the critical factors of national security is the social stability of society, and to ensure it, it is necessary, first of all, to reduce the level of social stratification and poverty.

Annotation: The purpose of the article is to identify the main areas of improving economic security in the sphere of foreign trade activities of the Russian Federation. The article reveals the main strategic ways to promote international cooperation and highly effective provision of foreign economic activity. The main directions of improving economic security include: improving the competitiveness of the national economy; ensuring export security against external threats and risks; providing conditions for realization of national, production, industrial and foreign trade priorities of the country; the formation of a system of foreign trade security in the digital economy. A brief analysis of statistical data characterizing the foreign trade policy of the Russian Federation and its integration into the world economy was carried out. Political and economic trends in the development of foreign economic relations have been identified, which have both highly effective “growth points” and ineffective ones. In general, the problem of reducing Russian exports remains, since an increase in foreign trade turnover is not accompanied by a similar increase in revenue due to capital leakage. Current issues related to the impact of the pandemic on economic security and the reorientation of several exports to new markets are being considered. The article concludes that the establishment of business and trade activity of our state through the customs industry will help to defeat the coronacrisis and reach new frontiers of economic development.
