ABSTRACT

An urgent problem of the spatial development of the Russian Federation continues to be a high degree of interregional differences in indicators of socio-economic development in general, including the level and quality of life of the population. The article analyzes the differences 
in the main indicators of the quality and standard of living of the population among the regions of Russia. For a comparative assessment of 
regions by the quality and standard of living of the population, integral indicators (objective and subjective) have been developed, including 
an assessment of the labor market and the quality of employment, financial situation, as well as housing security and the quality of housing conditions. The purpose of the article is to identify interregional differences based on the developed ratings of objective and subjective 
integral indicators of the standard of living of the population in Russia. The results of the study are based on official statistical data from 
Rosstat and the results of a comprehensive observation of the living conditions of the population (2014, 2018, 2022). The methodology of 
the study is based on the use of the expert Pattern method, which made it possible to calculate the ratings of the subjects of the Russian 
Federation according to integral indicators of the quality and standard of living of the population. The article provides a dynamic analysis of 
regional differences in the quality and standard of living from 2014 to 2022, and identifies the main trends and features of the development 
of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of a methodological recommendations 
for assessing interregional differences in the standard of living of the population based on ratings of integral indicators: objective and subjective, and their components, taking into account the material basis of the quality and standard of living of the population. The developed rating 
assessment methodology made it possible to identify not only changes in integral indicators, but also the main reasons for such changes.
