Methodology. In this study, a systematic approach within the framework of structural-functionalism, as well as methods of path and correlation analysis were used as a methodological basis. To clarify the main substantive characteristics of the problem under consideration, methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, analogy.

Results.
