Abstract

The relevance and novelty is due to radical changes in the mechanism of indexation of all types of state pensions for the current budget, planned and long-term periods. Practical decisions of public administration bodies require theoretical understanding and critical analysis of the final social and economic results from the perspective of solving the most long-standing problem of socio-economic development of our country - the poverty of pensioners as the most vulnerable category of citizens. The purpose of the study is to identify the causes and substantiate the conditions for reducing pensioner poverty. The subject of the study is the state pension provision in Russia. To identify the causes of pensioner poverty, the study uses actuarial and statistical analysis methods based on open information sources: Rosstat, the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation, the Federal Tax Service, etc.  As a result of a multifactorial analysis of the methods of indexing insurance pensions, the main problems and factors determining the size and forms of increase in various pensions have been identified, and theoretical and practical tools for improving the forms and methods of indexing have been substantiated. It is proved that the indexation of insurance pensions should be considered as an economic mechanism for preserving the pension rights of insured persons in conditions of insured risks during the onset of insured events of old age, disability, loss of breadwinner.  Indexation should ensure the purchasing power of insurance pensions throughout the life of pensioners. Different indexation methods have different effects on maintaining the adequacy of pension payments in the long term, especially in conditions of rising life expectancy and volatile inflation.

Abstract

In the implementation of effective family policy, a place is ensured by ensuring affordable housing. The object of our study was households with children, inclusion - their housing security. The purpose of the study is to identify problems associated with improving the living conditions of households with children in Russia. For the analysis, data from representative monitoring sociological surveys of households «Comprehensive observations of the living conditions of the population» conducted by Rosstat in 2011-2022 were used. Estimates of housing рrovision were obtained depending on the socio-demographic composition of households. Households with children are characterized by a marked deterioration in housing conditions in the presence of two or more children, cramped housing, especially urban apartments, living in individual houses of large families, and a low level of improvement of their homes. For the worse, large and young families stand out. The dynamics of housing provision shows that with an increase in the average Russian indicators, the situation of families with children is not getting better. At the same time, housing provision for households without children is growing, especially those living alone. The consequences of the mass construction of multi-storey small-sized housing over the years have been investigated. It is shown that this has influenced demographic indicators towards an increase in the proportion of households without children, especially single ones. With such trends, the implementation of a family policy aimed at increasing the birth rate seems problematic. More than half of large families live in their own homes rather than apartments. The actual living conditions and preferences of families with children suggest that for them the massive construction of individual housing could be one of the main means of solving the housing problem. The primary task is also to increase the level of housing improvement and the development of road and engineering infrastructure. A State social policy is needed to improve housing рrovision for families with children.

Abstract

The study is devoted to the аnalysis of regional differences in the quality of working life. Attention to this issue will improve the working and living conditions of citizens and promote balanced socio-economic development of the country, help cope with the challenges of personnel shortage and enhance the competitiveness of regional economies. Analysis of regional differences makes it possible to develop targeted effective measures to support employment. The article provides a systematic review of publications by Russian authors devoted to measuring and assessing the quality of working life in different regions of Russia. Russian authors have not developed a unified methodology for assessing the quality of working life in the regional context; there is a mixture of macro- and micro-indicators, as well as objective and subjective measures. Among the publications of foreign authors, there is a wide range of works devoted to the assessment of this aspect in different countries (mainly European) based on the following methods: the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) System for Measuring and Assessing the Quality of Work, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Quality of Employment Measurement Framework, the Eurofoundation Quality of Work Indices, the Quality of Employment Index of the International Institute on Inequality, etc. The purpose of the empirical study is to analyze the differences in the main indicators of the quality of working life at the level of the federal districts of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study was the characteristics of the quality of working life: unemployment rate, the share of the poor and the share of those with precarious employment, the level of qualifications, satisfaction with various aspects of employment. The object of the study is the federal districts of Russia. The empirical base was the microdata of the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions of the Population from 2014 to 2022. Summary indices of job satisfaction and indices of working conditions were calculated for the federal districts. A comparison of federal districts was made based on objective indicators of the labor market: unemployment rate, proportion of low-income and precariously employed people, and the level of workers' qualifications. The main challenges of the labor market for regional labor markets and directions for solving the identified problems were formulated.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to reveal the reasons that have prevented the sustainable demographic development of the country, and the extension of the current policy leads to a decrease in the population, and to offer an option, in case of successful implementation, to recommend for other regions. The total fertility rate for the future until 2036 does not bring to the level of simple reproduction, and the population will continue to decline. The continuation of the trend is a real threat to national security, and the shortage of labor resources hinders the development of the country's economic potential. Among the reasons are an inadequate assessment of the demographic situation, the wrong choice of priorities, and a limited set of tools for influencing the demographic behavior of the population. The object of this research is the demographic policy pursued in Russia since 2007. The subject of the analysis is the documents that determine the content of this policy, as well as the conceptual approaches underlying it. An alternative position (2005) is considered: the demographic situation of the 90s is close to disaster, and a program of decisive action is needed. The article discusses the main directions of the new demographic policy, the basis of which is the worldview position based on the laws of socio-economic development. Success will be determined by the transition from the setting of "saving" the population to its increase; recognition of the state as the main beneficiary of population growth; the consolidation by law of a provision recognizing the work of a woman in raising her children as socially useful; understanding of housing as an effective lever of demographic policy; transition to a new level of industrial development of the country, with a high level of income of the employed; changes in the spatial organization of the population's life, focused on creating conditions for population reproduction; With the understanding of migration not only as a way to overcome the shortage of labor resources, but also as a source of growth in demographic potential, the conditions for expanded reproduction. The information base of the study was publicly available statistical data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), as well as data from published materials in various publications.
