Abstract

Introduction. In the context of the global knowledge economy, social institutions of higher education in Russia face challenges such as regional disparities, demographic decline, and insufficient digitalization, which limit access to quality specialist training and hinder societal progress. Objective. The aim of the article is to analyze the dynamics of financial, demographic, and structural indicators to develop mechanisms for improving the quality of universities, contributing to sustainable societal development. Materials and methods. The methodology is based on an empirical approach with a predominance of quantitative analysis of secondary data from official sources, supplemented by a systematic literature review. Processing in-volved calculating growth rates, correlations, and forecasts using descriptive and correlational statistics. Results. The results demonstrate an increase in internal expenditures on research, growth in student numbers, stabilization of admissions, and optimization of the university network, with an emphasis on digitalization and partnerships. Conclusions. It has been established that the integration of financial autonomy, online programs, and public-private partnerships enhances inclusion and innovation, minimizing disparities, although data limitations necessitate further research in the field of artificial intelligence and global comparisons to strengthen the role of education in socioeconomic growth.
