It is known that the human factor is one of the most important production factors contributing to economic growth, interest in investing in education has increased.  In modern conditions, recognition of the effective role of investment in education in achieving comprehensive economic and social development has intensified. Many Governments have realized the value of investing in education and the need to create knowledge based on the benefits of economic growth. The profession of an economist in modern conditions is a rather promising area of training in higher education. Of particular interest in modern conditions is the need to analyze the existing economic conditions, when the epidemic of coronavirus infection radically changed the established trade and production ties. For this reason, the need to educate and train future specialists in the field of economics, who possess both theoretical and practical knowledge, is quite high, since the future of many countries of the world depends on them and they will be able to develop the necessary anti-crisis plan for states to break the economic impasse.

The article discusses the features of the circular economy and its disclosure in the basic concepts of improving production processes in construction. The concept of a circular economy (CE) has recently become widespread as a perspective for solving global problems such as resource scarcity and waste management. The CE concept in the construction sector is rapidly gaining momentum and is used by many participants to coordinate their plans to build a more sustainable society. However, what exactly CE entails, remains unclear, and the actors involved in the transition to the CE set different priorities depending on their capabilities and goals. The transition to CE requires a more holistic approach and concerted efforts of all parties in the construction business.

The article considers the prospects for the development of the education economy in modern market conditions. The main reason for considering this topic is that in the modern period, this science is immature, since it does not demonstrate the ability to offer effective, efficient, socially feasible and economically viable solutions to educational problems. Accordingly, the main direction of the development of this science should be considered the development of scientific fundamental and technological approaches to solving existing problems in education. One of the tools in this regard should be called educational projects that contribute to the dynamic development of both pedagogy in general and this science in particular. To be recognized as an integrated field of research, the economics of education should assign to pedagogy the role of helping scientists to create formative solutions to the criticisms identified in the course of economic research. Indeed, within the framework of the role that pedagogy can assume, planning in the field of education, the formation of various aspects of personality (economic, financial, social and human) can be developed.

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that at the present stage the targets of modern agricultural production are concluded in the need to increase the volume of output of livestock and crop production while maintaining quality. At the same time, this topic has a certain problem field, since the growth rate of output in the industry in question is impossible today without the use of advanced technologies. In this context, the leading role belongs to the digitalization of agriculture, since only through high-tech approaches at the present stage it is possible to ensure highly competitive work of agricultural enterprises. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of digitalization implementation in agriculture. In the process of writing the work, comparative, analytical methods were used, through which a number of publications and monographs of recent years were studied within the framework of the topic of this article. The results of the study should include the justification of the need to implement a number of measures including retraining and training of personnel, synchronization of existing production processes with innovative solutions, as well as to organize the necessary financing for the implementation of these measures. It was concluded that these measures will optimize the process of digitalization of the agricultural sector and increase the productivity of agricultural enterprises.
