Completed material is sent (submitted) by email.
Payment system:
1) - from 3-5 pages per day are paid 100 rubles per typed page (rub/page)

3) - 11-15 pages per day 120 rubles/page.
4) - 16-20 pages per day 130 rubles/page.
5) - from 21 and more 140 rubles/page.
You need to decide and choose a convenient amount of work.
We advise you to distribute your efforts correctly and from the very beginning choose a minimum volume of 3-5 pages per day if your printing speed is still low.
In the future, you can switch to a different volume of work.
Regarding the guarantee of payment: It is possible to pay for work in stages, i.e. You do the minimum amount of work - we pay for it and you do the second half of the work, and so on.
Example: You have chosen a schedule: 5 days of work per week and a volume of 15 pages per day.
With the chosen schedule and volume of work, your income per week will be 9,000 rubles.
5 days * 15 pages * 120 rubles = 9000 rubles.
You can receive a salary as you deliver the finished material. Then the payment will be 100 rubles per page. You yourself will plan how many pages to print per day and when to submit them.
Example: You took 20 pages. We typed these 20 pages and sent the finished material, received a salary for the work and again took the material for processing.
You can work every day. But the practice of previous typesetters shows that it is better to work 5-6 days a week.
You can work with a flexible schedule: for example, 2-3 days a week or every other week. You must draw up a schedule yourself and inform us.
Due to the large flow of candidates for the vacancy “Typing Operator,” the management of the Publishing House introduced a one-time Security Deposit in the amount of 600 rubles from June 2012. for the costs of delivering the disk with the work and the disk itself to the expense of our Publishing House.
Many frivolous people, having received the source material, either refuse to complete the material they have taken upon themselves, or do not meet the pre-agreed deadlines and, without informing us, stop working with us and disappear.
As a result, we wait a long time for materials, and then we are forced to redirect these materials to other typesetters, thereby failing to meet customer deadlines.
We very much regret that we have to take such measures, but by doing so we are ridding ourselves of unserious employees. These are the requirements of the management when hiring for remote work. Subsequently, the amount of the Deposit is returned to your payment for your labor (Salary). Thus, you start working with us and return your one-time Deposit along with the first salary payment.
You can pay the Security Deposit through mobile payment terminals, cash desks in the Euroset salon, through the terminal in the Svyaznoy salon, WebMoney, ATM.
Without a Security Deposit, We will not be able to provide you with work (material for processing) and register you in our database of remote employees and assign you an Individual Typesetter Number.
At the moment, the most promising way for us to attract typists is to attract them via the Internet.
We need serious and responsible employees for long-term work.
If we send work to everyone just like that, it will be a big expense and a waste of work to send, so the amount of the Deposit is 600 rubles. it's minimum.
Therefore, we do not have a probationary period. The work is not difficult, but requires care and responsibility from workers. To evaluate our capabilities, we can send you an example of a graphic file.
One last addition: don't use<Программы- распознаватели>text. Our customers' files are not recognized correctly by OCR software. Otherwise, our staff would have a maximum of 3-5 employees.
If you successfully complete the work within 3 months, the Publishing House will enroll you as a full-time employee with the completion of a work book and a social package.
For residents of the CIS - the same rules. We warn you right away: We may not register you. You can simply be listed as a remote employee with us and work at a stationary job.

Introductions

Poverty as a characteristic of the economic status of an individual or social group. extreme insufficiency of property values, goods, funds available to a person, family, region, state, and also for normal life and activity. The threshold or poverty line is the normatively established level of monetary income of a person or family for a certain period, which provides a physical subsistence level. the economic situation of an individual or social group, in which they cannot satisfy a certain range of minimal needs necessary for life, maintaining working capacity, and procreation. a state of need, lack of means of subsistence, which does not allow satisfying the urgent needs of an individual or family. Government revenues can be diverted from the main service by corruption, such as in Nigeria, where its leaders have stolen about $400 billion of the country's oil revenues. Aid funds and natural resources are often diverted into private hands and then sent to foreign banks as a result of bribery. Preventive measures, according to UNODC, include requiring public officials to disclose income and assets and strict rules on the financing of parties and election campaigns. If Western banks rejected the money, the Global Witness report says, ordinary people would benefit "in ways that aid flows would never reach." The report asked for more action from banks as they were found to be capable of stanching the flow of funds linked to terrorism and money laundering. An African Union report found that more than $150 billion a year is taken out of Africa through tax evasion by foreign corporations, such that the poverty-stricken continent is a net creditor to the rest of the world. It is estimated that about 30% of sub-Saharan Africa's GDP has been shifted to tax havens. Developing countries' debts to rich country banks and governments are often more than the country can generate in a year from export earnings. Poor countries don't have to spend so much on debt payments; they can use the money instead for basic services such as health and education. For example, Zambia spent 40% of its total budget on repaying external debt, but only 7% on basic government services in 1997. One of the proposed ways to help poor countries was debt relief. Zambia began offering services such as free health care even while the health infrastructure was overwhelming, due to savings that resulted from the 2005 round of debt relief.

Poverty

Poverty is a characteristic of the economic situation of an individual or social group, in which they cannot satisfy a certain range of minimum needs necessary for life, maintaining working capacity, and procreation. Poverty is a relative concept and depends on the general standard of living in a given society.

History of poverty studies

In studies of the causes and place of poverty in society, the period from the 18th to the first half of the 20th century is distinguished (A. Smith, D. Ricardo, T. Malthus, G. Spencer, J. Proudhon, E. Reclus, Karl Marx, C. Booth and C . Rowntree) and modern studies of poverty in the 20th century (F.A. Hayek, P. Townsend, etc.). Already the works of A. Smith revealed the relative nature of poverty through the connection between poverty and social shame, i.e. the gap between social standards and the material ability to adhere to them. Back in the 19th century, it was proposed to calculate the poverty line based on family budgets and thereby introduce the criterion of absolute poverty, linking the criteria for determining poverty with the level of income and satisfaction of the individual’s basic needs related to maintaining a certain level of his working capacity and health. A significant contribution to the study of poverty problems was made by both economists and sociologists, most of whom recognized the regularity of the existence of poverty in society; the difference in points of view consisted, first of all, in the recognition or denial of the need for state intervention in solving the problem of poverty and the scale of such intervention.

Causes of poverty

Poverty is a consequence of diverse and interrelated causes, which are grouped into the following groups:

    economic (unemployment, low wages, low labor productivity, uncompetitiveness of the industry).

    socio-medical (disability, old age, high morbidity rate).

    demographic (single-parent families, a large number of dependents in the family).

    educational qualifications (low level of education, insufficient professional training).

    political (military conflicts, forced migration).

    regional-geographical (uneven development of regions).

    religious, philosophical and psychological (asceticism as a way of life, foolishness).

Forms of poverty.

It is possible to distinguish forms of poverty by time (stagnant, temporary), in relation to the state of the subsistence level (poverty, neediness, low income). Stagnant poverty- this is long-term poverty, it has always been characteristic of Russian villages. Temporary poverty is characterized by short periods of stay in it; it has now become typical for the urban population due to systematic non-payment of wages. Based on the amount of income compared to the subsistence level, they distinguish

three forms of poverty:

    poverty(income does not provide the cost of the food portion of the subsistence level);

    neediness(income at the subsistence level);

    poverty(income exceeds the level of the subsistence level budget, but does not reach the minimum consumer budget - MPB).

Concepts for defining poverty

Absolute concept of poverty

The concept of absolute poverty is closely related to the concept of poverty line. The poverty threshold is the level of disposable income, gross income, or consumption below which a person is considered poor. Absolute poverty is often measured as the number of people or households whose level of consumption or income is below the poverty line. If we take the poverty line to be the necessary means to support life, then we can define all funds above this line as discretionary income. Sometimes several poverty lines are used: for poverty itself and for extreme poverty (poverty, extreme poverty). The World Bank sets the threshold for absolute poverty to live on less than 1.25 US dollars a day (the rate is calculated using PPP). The poverty line as an indicator has one significant drawback: it does not take into account the number of households located directly above it by a small margin. It should also be noted that this allows a situation to exist where poverty and inequality are increasing and the number of people below the poverty line is decreasing.

Relative concept of poverty

Relative poverty is contrasted with absolute poverty. Measures of relative poverty set a relative poverty line and measure the income of the population against it. In the case when the real incomes of the entire population grow, but their distribution does not change, relative poverty remains the same. Thus, the concept of relative poverty is part of the concept of inequality. However, this does not mean that less equality always means less relative poverty, or vice versa. A measure of relative poverty might show, for example, how many people earn less than a quarter of the median income. This approach is especially useful when identifying poverty in unfamiliar societies or where it is difficult to value a particular set of goods. Comparing income with the mode share and the harmonic mean are additional tools for studying the stratification of society. The founder of the relative concept of poverty is P. Townsend, who considered poverty as a condition in which, due to a lack of economic resources, maintaining a lifestyle familiar to the majority of members of a given society becomes impossible. He based his analysis of poverty on the concept of a set of experienced deprivations, multidimensional deprivation, which he understood as “a state of observable and demonstrable disadvantage of an individual, family or group relative to the community, society or nation as a whole.” The concept of multidimensional deprivation was introduced by P. Townsend because, along with material deprivation, including such indicators as food, clothing, housing conditions, durable goods, place and condition of the living environment, conditions and nature of work, he also used indicators of social deprivation, including the nature of employment, features of leisure time, education, etc. Currently, within the framework of this definition of poverty, two directions have emerged. The first focuses on livelihoods, the ability to purchase goods needed to meet basic needs. In this case, when constructing the relative poverty line, the indicator of median personal disposable income is used. In the USA, the relative poverty line corresponds to 40% of median income, in most European countries - 50%, in Scandinavia - 60%. Within the second direction, called the civil law theory of poverty, poverty is measured through deprivation in the broad sense of the word. In this case, it is considered whether the means available allow full participation in society, based on certain basic sets of deprivations taken into account. The scale of relative poverty does not coincide with the scale of absolute poverty. Absolute poverty can be eliminated, but relative poverty always persists, due to the fact that inequality is an indispensable attribute of stratified societies. Relative poverty persists and even increases as living standards for all social classes rise.

Subjective concept of poverty

Subjective poverty is a concept of poverty based on the belief that only the individual can determine whether he is poor. There are many approaches to determining the level of subjective poverty: you can find out how many people consider themselves poor or consider their friends poor. It is possible to identify a subjective absolute poverty line based on public opinion, and then compare the income of the population with it.

Deprivation approach

Measuring the level of poverty can also be carried out using a deprivation approach. According to it, the poor are considered individuals whose consumption does not correspond to the standard accepted in society and who do not have access to a certain set of goods and services. That is, with this approach, poverty is determined not only by insufficient income or low consumption of essential goods and services, but also by low-quality nutrition, inaccessibility of education and health services, lack of normal housing conditions, and so on. Thus, measuring the level of poverty using subjective and deprivation approaches allows us to conclude that the perception of poverty is significant for the population not simply as existence on the brink of physical survival. Poverty is a state when an individual cannot provide a more or less decent existence, taking into account the social norms and generally accepted standards that have developed in society. It is in connection with this understanding of poverty that many sources use consumption rather than income. Consumption is already a result that does not require calculations of disposable and discretionary income. It shows what turned out to be accessible, but could not become so. In addition, rural areas experience high seasonality of income, while consumption fluctuates less. Moreover, developing countries have a high share of the informal sector in the economy, which further complicates the collection of income data. However, calculating poverty levels by consumption also has its drawbacks; for example, in northern countries with harsh winters, consumption can fluctuate just as much as income. Sometimes the poverty line is taken to be the minimum level of income or accumulated wealth at which an individual is provided with certain financial services: loans or mortgages.

Problems with the current definition of poverty and proposed new definitions

With the advent of welfare states, the poor in Western countries today are incomparably better off than the poor of Victorian times. The social composition of the poor has changed over time, for example in the UK in the 1970s and 1980s it was pensioners and single parents, but in the 1980s it was mainly large families. Using one parameter (income) in the definition often leads to paradoxical situations, for example, when pensioners who own fully paid-off real estate (for example, a house for which the family has been paying for 20 years, or land) fall into the category of the poor. Today, the cost of industrial products is very low and it has become possible for the poor to purchase goods such as a television, computer or mobile phone, while at the same time the cost of services and housing rents are high. Therefore, today sociologists are considering a number of alternative definitions for poverty, the most common being: the inability to purchase or have access to a basic basket of services. The list of services from the basket is different, for example, for the USA it includes health insurance, a bank account in the UK, where medical care is covered by the state.

Poverty indicators

The main indicators of poverty are determined by the formula proposed by James Foster, Joel Greer and Erik Thorbecke:

P_a=\frac(1)(H)\sum_(h=1)^q\left(\frac(Z_h-Y_h)(Z_h)\right)^a

where P is the overall poverty indicator;

a is a parameter showing which poverty indicator we are talking about;

Z_h is the poverty line of an individual household h, which depends on its composition;

Y_h - income level of an individual household h;

q - number of poor households;

H is the total number of households.

Based on the Foster-Grier-Thorbecke formula, the main poverty indicators are determined:

poverty coefficient and poverty level (a=0);

poverty depth index (a=1);

poverty severity index (a=2).

Poverty ratio (share of poor households in the total number of households):

P_0=\frac(1)(H)\sum_(h=1)^q\left(\frac(Z_h-Y_h)(Z_h)\right)^0

The poverty rate characterizes only the prevalence of poverty and does not allow us to assess how much the income of poor households is below the poverty line.

Poverty depth index:

P_1=\frac(1)(H)\sum_(h=1)^q\left(\frac(Z_h-Y_h)(Z_h)\right)^1

The poverty depth index allows you to assess how much lower the income of poor households is relative to the poverty line.

Poverty severity index:

P_2=\frac(1)(H)\sum_(h=1)^q\left(\frac(Z_h-Y_h)(Z_h)\right)^2

Amartya Sen proposed his index, a synthetic indicator of poverty, combining three factors: the prevalence of this phenomenon, the material insufficiency of poor people, and the degree of their stratification by income. It is calculated by the formula:

S=L(N+\frac(d)(P)G_p)

Where S is the Sen index, L is the share of the poor population, N is the ratio of the average income deficit to the poverty line, d is the average income of poor households, P is the poverty line, G_p is the Gini coefficient for poor households.

Scope and profile of poverty

The highest absolute poverty according to UN data for 2004, based on the established national border, was observed in Madagascar - 71.3%, Sierra Leone - 70.2%, Mozambique - 69.4%. If we take 1 dollar a day as the poverty line (this indicator is used by the UN for developing countries), then the highest poverty according to 2005 data is observed in Nigeria (70.8%), Central African Republic (66.6%) and Zambia (63%). ,8 %). In the United States, the number of poor people in 2010 is estimated at 46.180 million people, which is 15.1% of the total population. However, the poverty line in 2010 by the US Census Bureau considers income to be $22,314 per year for a family of four. The number of poor people was at its highest level for the entire period of observation, that is, since 1959; and their percentage of the total population is the highest since 1984. The number of poor people in the United States has increased for the fourth year in a row. Today in Germany, almost a seventh of the population, 11.5 million people, lives at or below the poverty line, a number that has increased by a third in the last ten years.

Poverty in Russia

According to social studies, 85% of Russians indicated that the life of poor families differs from the life of others primarily in that these people eat poorly. More than half (52-55%) indicate poor housing, the inability to afford to buy medicine and see a good doctor, or buy decent clothes and shoes (sometimes, none at all) as a sign of poverty. Many noted that poor people are more vulnerable to those who attack their lives and property. Of those who do not complain about their health, only 13% are among the poor, and in the group of Russians who are seriously ill with something, this figure is already 50%. Researchers note that in the long-term (“chronic”) poverty of Russians there is a kind of point of no return, after which a person loses hope for changes for the better - on average, three years lived in this state. According to the director of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, academician Mikhail Gorshkov (2013), every fifth Russian has all the signs of a person beyond the poverty line. As of 2013, according to statistics in Russia, 8.8% of the population, or 12.5 million people, are officially considered poor (that is, have an income below the established subsistence level). In a study by the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2013), the poor were conditionally divided into 2 groups: “by income” - those already taken into account by statistics, and “by deprivation” - those experiencing deprivation even with relatively good incomes (illness, dependents, etc.), in the last category in 2003, 39% of Russians were, in 2008 a third of the population, in 2013 - a quarter. A quarter of the “income” poor and 17% of the “deprivation” poor are in this state due to unemployment. At the same time, the head of the study, Dr. Sociol. science prof. Natalya Tikhonova notes that in Russia the poverty of working citizens is greater than ever. The same study noted that “Russian poverty clearly has a “female face””: among the “income” poor, women make up two-thirds, as well as among the chronically poor. According to the results of the study, it is noted that very often people retain marriage (including civil marriage) only for material reasons - only 44% of poor Russians and 69% of non-poor people said that they have good family relationships. With the appearance of children in a family, especially several, the standard of living rapidly deteriorates. The same applies to other dependents - the elderly, sick, disabled, etc. Families with three or more minor children have almost 50% of cases among the poor. A study by the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Poverty and inequalities in modern Russia: 10 years later” (2013) notes that if ten years ago poor people still entertained the illusion that their problems were temporary, in recent years the number of those who he recognizes himself as an inhabitant of the “bottom”. 71% of Russians believe that the poor are “exactly the same as everyone else, they are just unlucky,” while almost 30% are confident that a specific person is largely to blame.

Directions and mechanisms for reducing poverty

    Among the government measures to reduce poverty are:

    creating conditions for production growth and, accordingly, for increasing the monetary income of the population,

    maintaining macroeconomic stability,

Introduction of the dissertation (part of the abstract) on the topic “Socio-demographic profile, factors and forms of manifestation of poverty of the Russian population”

The relevance of research. Poverty reduction is a key task of socio-economic progress, largely determining not only the political stability of the country, but also prospects in the global world. Therefore, in the Concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federation until 2020, developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the reduction of poverty and inequality is considered a priority national economic task, and indicators of the level and profile of poverty are among the main indicators of the effectiveness of investments in human capital. Accordingly, research into the causes of poverty, which is rooted in the aggravated contradictions in the models of combining labor and capital and the distribution of powers between markets, the state and families to ensure the level and quality of life, has become more relevant. It is becoming increasingly clear that without reducing the level of poverty and eliminating its extreme forms, it is impossible to achieve an increase in the quality of human capital and economic growth, as well as create the prerequisites for expanding the social base of modernization and increasing labor productivity.

Although the view of economic growth as the main indicator of development and a factor in poverty reduction remains dominant, this approach has come under serious criticism in the last 20 years. The need for its revision has sharply increased in the context of the modern crisis, and Nobel laureates J. Stiglitz and A. Sen made a significant contribution to this process. In discussing the causes of the crisis, they noted a growing gap between the information contained in aggregate GDP data and what actually matters for well-being. Therefore, the time has come to shift the emphasis from measuring production to measuring the level and quality of life of the population. This requires the creation of a new concept for development analysis, in which indicators of well-being and sustainability of achieved results would occupy an important place, and monetary and non-monetary poverty criteria should become an integral part of them.

The urgency of this approach for Russia is due to the fact that the results of economic growth have ceased to have a positive impact on inequality, the level, and especially the structure of poverty. With high social expenditures and overall positive dynamics of economic progress, a trend has emerged of deteriorating social well-being and growing social tension. This indicates the need to adjust socio-economic policies in the field of well-being based on deepening the theoretical analysis of poverty, its criteria and the development of statistical tools. This determines the choice* of the dissertation research topic.

The purpose of the study is to develop a conceptual framework for monitoring and researching poverty in Russia, taking into account the characteristics of economic, institutional and socio-cultural development and social policy measures aimed at reducing poverty.

The object of research is the Russian population and. separate socially? demographic groups of households classified as poor based on various wealth and consumption characteristics.

The subject of the study is monetary and non-monetary forms of poverty, the socio-demographic and economic factors that determine them, as well as the system of socio-economic policy measures aimed at reducing poverty.

To achieve this goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks:

Analyze and systematize the main theoretical, methodological and practical approaches to defining poverty as an economic category, constructing national and comparative poverty lines, and measuring well-being;

Critically review and give a generalized description of the capabilities and limitations of Russian poverty monitoring, taking into account the entire range of analytical and management tasks, including Russia’s obligations to implement the Millennium Development Goals and the ability to adapt to the statistical tools of OECD countries;

Develop and test new poverty lines on empirical data for a comprehensive analysis of monetary and non-monetary forms of its manifestation, shifting the focus of the study of the problem towards household consumption, determining opportunities for development and implementing social policy measures aimed at reducing poverty;

For Russian households, propose new criteria for assessing well-being and opportunities for development, taking into account income, housing and property security, access to the labor market, social transfers and services, inter-family solidarity, level of education and health status;

Conduct a comparative analysis and identify the features of the level, structure and risks of poverty in Russia for various socio-demographic groups of the population using new poverty lines and welfare criteria, separately considering households with children, pensioners and non-working able-bodied citizens;

Research and typologize the main factors of poverty, assessing the impact of economic growth or recession, government policy on the labor market, income redistribution through the system of pensions and social benefits, inter-family assistance and support;

Propose conceptual solutions for a national monitoring model that allows for a comprehensive analysis of poverty and measurement of progress in poverty reduction, including cross-country comparisons;

Formulate proposals for socio-economic policies aimed at reducing poverty.

The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of fundamental and applied scientific works of domestic and foreign experts on human development, welfare, poverty and inequality, social policy, as well as family economics and socio-economic stratification.

Despite the fact that during the Soviet period poverty as an economic category was not analyzed, in the publications of V.M. Zherebina, N.P. Kuznetsova, G.V. Milner, M.A. Mozhina, N.E. Rabkina, N.M. Rimashevskaya, G.S. Sargsyan, when analyzing welfare, a differentiated approach to income analysis was formed and minimum consumer budgets were developed as an absolute category of minimum consumption, ensuring expanded reproduction of the population.

The foundations of quantitative analysis of poverty and inequality in Russia in the post-Soviet period were created by V.N. Bobkov, T.Yu. Bogomolova, I.I. Eliseeva, A.Ya. Kiruta, V.A Litvinov, M.M. Lokshin, L.A. Migranova, A.A. Razumov, N.M. Rimashevskaya, S.N. Smirnov,

A.B. Suvorov, A.E. Surinov, A.Yu. Shevyakov. In the works of M.D. Krasilnikova, I.I. Korchagina, L.I. Nivorozhkina, D.O. Popova, L.M. Prokofieva, N.E. Tikhonova developed alternative poverty criteria to the absolute monetary approach.

Russian scientists have made a significant contribution to the development of the concept of poverty within the framework of the concept of human development. Among them is E.M. Avraamova, S.A. Ayvazyan, M.E. Baskakova, S.N. Bobylev, V.A. Iontsev,

B.P. Kolesov, L.S. Rzhanitsyna. The works of R.P. are devoted to the study of labor market problems and their impact on the income of Russian households. Kolosova, T.M. Maleva, I.V. Soboleva, M.S. Toksanbaeva, T.Ya. Chetvernina.

Various aspects of the influence of social and family policy on the standard of living of the population are considered in the works of A.G. Vishnevsky, P.S. Grinberg, V.V. Elizarova, E.H. Zhiltsova, V.I. Zhukova, A.JI. Zhukova, S.B. Zakharova, S.B. Kalashnikova, G.B. Kleiner, V.V. Soptsova, L.I. Yakobson, E.R. Yarskaya-Smirnova.

Among foreign studies, it is worth noting the works of B. Rowntree, who became the founder of the absolute concept of poverty, which at the end of the 20th century was already considered mainly in a historical context, but A. Sen, defining it through opportunities, updated the absolute understanding of poverty for modern conditions. P. Townsend, J. Mack, S. Lansley created the concept of relative poverty, and JI. Rainwater and B. Van Praag introduced the concept of relative poverty. M. Revellon made a significant contribution to the development of poverty lines for international comparisons and was the first to raise the question of combined poverty lines. A. Atkinson, J. Bradshaw, J. Greer, J. Foster and E. Thorbeck created a theoretical framework for analyzing the level, profile and structure of poverty. J. White-Wilson, P. Clarke, A. McCauley, G. Espin-Andersen laid the foundation for research into the main factors of poverty and assessment of the impact of social policies on poverty.

Comprehensive poverty studies are regularly conducted under the auspices of international organizations: the World Bank, the International Labor Organization, the UN Development Program and the UN Children's Fund UNICEF. They pay special attention to cross-country comparisons, poverty criteria within the framework of the concept of human development, and determinants of well-being for certain socio-demographic groups of the population.

The study was based on a combination of qualitative analysis with 9 economic, statistical and sociological studies. Methodologically, it is based on the tools of the index method, descriptive and regression analysis, methods of organizing, processing, updating and generalizing data from sample household surveys, and models for harmonizing macro- and micro-level data. The complexity of the analysis was ensured by the study of monetary and non-monetary criteria at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels.

The information base for the study was state statistics and primary databases of the following sample household surveys:

1. Primary data from the quarterly survey of budgets of 46 thousand households (HBS) conducted by Rosstat;

2. Data from two waves of a survey of poverty among the urban population of the European part of Russia conducted by the Institute of Economics and Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in 1996 and 2000, containing the information necessary to construct an index of deprivation, monetary absolute and non-monetary, subjective poverty lines;

3. Data from the National Survey of the well-being and participation of the population in social programs (NOBUS-2003), containing a wide range of indicators of economic activity of the population, level and quality of life. A survey with a sample of 40 thousand households and 117 thousand respondents was conducted by Rosstat in 2003;

4. Data from a special poverty sample survey with a sample of 3,000 households, implemented in 2005 by the Independent Institute for Social Policy in the Leningrad Region (SPRILO);

5. Data from two waves of the panel study “Parents and Children, Men and Women in the Family and Society,” conducted in 2004 and 2007. Independent Institute of Social Policy based on a sample of 11 thousand households - RiDMiZh-2004 and RiDMiZh-2007;

6. Data from a survey of 3,000 households “Crisis and behavior of Russian households” (KPDH-2010), conducted by the Independent Institute of Social Policy.

7. Data from the Russian Monitoring of the Economic Situation and Health of the Population, conducted annually by the National Research University Higher School of Economics using a panel sample (RLMS).

Provisions for defense:

1. A comparative analysis of the main theoretical concepts of poverty and national practices of their application allows us to conclude that, within the framework of absolute, relative and subjective concepts, it is necessary to distinguish between monetary and non-monetary approaches to its definition and measurement. Statistical monitoring of the level and profile of poverty is based on monetary poverty lines, the main one for Russia being the cost of living, while fundamental scientific research is moving towards non-monetary criteria.

2. It is substantiated that differences in the socio-demographic profile of poverty according to alternative estimates must be taken into account in socio-economic policy, which should be differentiated in relation to different socio-demographic groups of the population. When using the deprivation index, the maximum risks are typical for families of pensioners, which is due to a shortage of social care services and restrictions in access to the healthcare system. Monetary poverty is more common among families with children. These differences are significant and persist throughout the post-Soviet period. Discrepancies are also observed in estimates of subjective poverty, in the structure of which before the crisis there was a predominance towards the elderly population, and as a result of the last crisis - towards the youth.

3. It is shown that extreme forms of poverty, identified through the use of consensual poverty lines, international

eleven ! absolute extreme poverty line and estimates of calorie intake are concentrated among families with children. The mechanisms of formation of child poverty are revealed and it is proved that the system of family benefits is not tied to the stages of the family life cycle.

1 4. It has been established that in the context of the current Russian model of economic development, characterized by high differentiation of wages and incomes of the population, a low coefficient of replacement of lost earnings with pensions and underdeveloped institutional mechanisms to promote the formation and implementation of human potential, economic growth ceases to be the main instrument of poverty reduction policy .

5. Based on the decomposition of inequality into intergroup and intragroup, it is shown that market channels for expanding opportunities for improving well-being, such as employment, education, region and locality of residence, work poorly: intragroup differentiation on these grounds significantly exceeds intergroup differentiation. This indicates the creation of conditions for the formation of an urban underclass and the low quality of mass vocational education! and the structural gap between the education system and the demand for labor in the labor market. In such a situation, stimulating points of economic growth and investing in education do not lead to adequate changes in living standards.

6. It was revealed that the main reason for the weak influence of the social protection system on the dynamics of poverty is the contradictory nature of its development trends, manifested in the simultaneous focus on priority support for certain socio-demographic groups of the population and poor households. This duality hinders the effective development of targeted programs to support the poor.

7. The directions and mechanisms for the development of targeted programs are substantiated

12 for the poor, representing the opportunity to create a differentiated system of conditional cash transfers and non-monetary types of social support. The need for differentiation is predetermined by the concentration of certain forms of poverty among families with children, elderly and able-bodied citizens, urban and rural residents, developed and subsidized regions. Conditionality presupposes the existence of mutual obligations of donors and recipients regarding the goals and results of development.

The scientific novelty of the dissertation lies in the development of an integrated approach to the analysis of poverty in Russia, which allows, based on alternative criteria, to give it a detailed description in modern economic, institutional and socio-cultural conditions, to conduct cross-country comparisons, to develop and implement effective policy measures aimed at reducing poverty levels. and depths of poverty.

1. A non-monetary relative poverty line adapted to Russian conditions has been proposed and justified in the context of sustainable human development, allowing! identify deprivations in current consumption. Instrumentally, it is presented in the form of an index, and relativity is determined by the fact that deviations from the prevailing average consumption standard in the country are considered deprivations. Its application for analysis changes our understanding of the socio-demographic profile and poverty risks for various socio-demographic groups of the population.

2. A methodology for differentiating poverty based on a combination of monetary and non-monetary criteria of absolute, relative and subjective poverty has been developed and tested. It has been empirically confirmed that poverty zones determined by one criterion weakly intersect when comparing monetary and non-monetary poverty lines within the same conceptual approach and when comparing conceptually

13 alternative non-monetary boundaries. This means that not all the absolutely poor are among the relatively poor and vice versa. To differentiate poverty, a combined criterion is proposed based on the intersection of absolute monetary, relative non-monetary and subjective non-monetary poverty lines. Poverty is recognized as consensual, confirmed by three criteria, and forms of its manifestation that correspond to only one conceptual criterion are considered alternative. The development of this particular research area allows for differentiated policies aimed at reducing poverty.

3. A stage-by-stage qualitative typology of poverty factors was carried out, taking into account the characteristics of economic development, implemented social policy and models of economic behavior of households. At the first stage, based on the analysis of detailed poverty profiles, four domains of factors determining the dynamics of well-being of Russian households were identified: income security; labor market; social support system and market development resources. At the second stage, the main indicators of domains were selected at the macro and micro levels. The use of this typology to analyze the dynamics of poverty allowed us to conclude that the influence of economic growth on poverty reduction in the conditions of modern Russia and the need to implement a differentiated policy of social support for the population are reduced.

4. The feasibility of using different poverty criteria for analytical purposes, regular statistical monitoring of development results and developing policies to support poor households and individual socio-demographic groups of the population is methodologically justified and empirically confirmed. The relative monetary poverty line is recommended for statistical monitoring. For a system of targeted poverty benefits, it was proposed

14 living wage, calculated on the basis of the normative-statistical method. A systematic analysis of poverty is possible only if the entire range of monetary and non-monetary criteria of absolute, relative and subjective poverty is used. This conceptual model of national poverty monitoring allows us to solve the whole range of managerial, analytical and political problems that arise when developing a strategy to promote poverty reduction.

5:. A methodology for assessing well-being at the household level, adapted to the characteristics of the modern consumption structure, has been developed and tested. To assess current consumption, consistent welfare indices are proposed that take into account income, property and housing security both in the context of poverty and in a broader stratification context. It has been proven that when assessing income, it is advisable to switch to using scales for bringing the per capita income of households of different sizes and socio-demographic composition to a comparable form. Instrumentally, this problem is solved through the use of income equivalence scales that take into account the effect of savings on family size. It has been shown that the use of equivalence scales reduces the risk of poverty for families with children if the current subsistence level is used as the poverty line. The introduction of equivalence scales and the relative monetary poverty line into the practice of assessing per capita income will allow for correct comparisons of income and poverty indicators with OECD countries.

The research results presented in this paragraph allow us to identify four main domains for analysis in the second stage:

1. Distribution relations in the sphere of generating income of the population;

2. The impact of new market opportunities on the dynamics of well-being and poverty;

3. Opportunities and restrictions in the labor market, including quantitative (employment) and price (wages) components;

4. The contribution of social programs to the dynamics of poverty.

4.2. Dynamics of the level, structure and differentiation of income of the population in post-Soviet Russia

Poverty, the measurement of which is based on the principles of the absolute concept within the Russian national concept, is determined by the value of the subsistence minimum and the level of the welfare indicator compared with this value: In previous chapters, the issue of choosing a welfare indicator was already considered, and it was noted that at the macroeconomic level it is per capita income in monthly terms. It is the dynamics of this indicator, defined as the sum of all cash receipts, including wages, business income, social transfers, income from property and other types of income, that plays a decisive role in assessing the level of poverty. In terms of content, indicators of the dynamics of the level, structure and differentiation of income are associated with each of the four identified domains of poverty factors.

To understand the general trends of the changes taking place, let us turn to a retrospective covering the period of economic reforms, starting from 1991 (Fig. 4.1). The systemic economic and political crisis of the early 90s of the last century, which led to the collapse of the USSR and the creation of new states, including Russia, was accompanied by a large-scale decline in population income. Price liberalization in January 1992 led to

Let us dwell in more detail on the stage of sustainable economic growth, which we consider to be the period from 2000 to 2007. In 2007, compared to 2000, real incomes of the population increased by 2.7 times, real wages by 2.6 times, real pensions by 1.7 times, and GDP by 1.6 times ( Fig. 4.2). It should be noted that in the time interval under consideration, the most significant positive changes in household incomes occurred in 2003: despite the fact that GDP grew by 107.3%, the growth rate of real monetary incomes of the population relative to December 2002 was 126.5%, the share of the poor population fell to 21.9%.

Since 2005, there has been a stagnation in the process of income growth, but at the end of this year, as already noted, we are witnessing a certain historical moment: the completion of the stage of restoration of the pre-reform level of income (1991). A year later, the moment of restoration of the real average wage is recorded, (including hidden), which cannot yet be said about statistically observed wages and pensions. Against the background of the overall dynamics of income, pension provision appears to be the most problematic (Fig. 4.1 and 4.2). The real pension has not only not reached the level.

1991, but the pace of its growth, starting in 2005, began to sharply lag behind other sources of income. As a result, the average pension reached the level of the subsistence level of pensioners and froze at this level, which allows us to consider the current pension system only as an institution to combat poverty, and not sustainable development. The vulnerable group in this case are unemployed women of retirement age, who more often than men live together with unemployed women of working age.

Another key parameter of pension provision is the replacement coefficient (or rate), calculated as the ratio of the average pension to the average accrued wages in the economy. In the USSR and throughout the first half of the 1990s, this ratio varied between 30-35%. On the eve of the 1998 crisis, the ratio

191 replacement reached almost 40%, then there followed a sharp decline - by almost 10 percentage points, then a slight increase, but since 2002, that is, since the beginning of the pension reform, its dynamics have become steadily negative. The absolute minimum was reached by 2007, when the average pension was less than 23% of the average salary. Changes in the pension indexation policy and the crisis made their own adjustments. Unlike wages, the real size of which has decreased under the influence of the crisis, pensions are indexed at a rate exceeding the rate of inflation. As a result, in 2008 the replacement rate increased to 24.3%, and in August-September 2009 - to approximately 29% of the average salary.

Despite the sharp drop in pensions in 1992, for most of the 1990s, until the 1998 crisis, pensions were indexed better than wages*, and their average amount exceeded the subsistence level of a pensioner. As a result, the financial situation of pensioners was relatively better than that of other social groups. The situation changed after the 1998 crisis. From that moment on, wage growth began to outpace the growth of pensions. This lag became especially dramatic after the start of the pension reform in 2002. Accordingly, during the period of economic growth in the 2000s. The well-being of families whose main source is pensions has begun to deteriorate relative to other groups, and, above all, those whose income primarily depends on wages. This situation ended with the onset of the current financial and economic crisis.

Positive changes in the dynamics of population income in 2000-2007. were accompanied by a transformation of their structure according to sources of income. Higher growth rates of average wages contributed to an increase in its share in the income structure: from 62.8% to

2000 to 64.9% in 2006. At the same time, the share of wages continues to remain below the Soviet level. This is largely due to

192 by replacing this type of cash income of the population with a new form of labor income - income from business activities. Together with the wage fund of employees in 2005, they amounted to 76.2% of all cash income. By 2006, the share of such sources of household income as business income and property income increased by 3.3 times compared to 1992, and together they began to account for a fifth of the total.

When analyzing the impact of the 2008 crisis on the standard of living of the Russian population, let us once again turn to estimates of the decline in incomes in the conditions of earlier crises, in particular in August 1998. There are arguments in favor of the inappropriateness of such a comparison, and the most important one boils down to the fact that the crisis 1998 ended a long period of decline in the Russian economy, which at the final stage intersected with the global financial crisis. This was followed by a phase of rapid recovery and economic growth. In 2008-2009, on the contrary, we are dealing only with the beginning of a larger global economic, structural and financial crisis, the depth of which is not yet clear. However, turning to the past crisis is due to only one motive - to assess the limits of the fall. income; because in 1998, using the method of one-stage devaluation of the ruble, the economy was strictly brought to a balance of domestic and external demand and supply.

So, the August 1998 crisis most of all reduced the real level of pensions and wages hidden from statistical observation, and their fall can be characterized as a shock (Table 4.1). Pensions continued to decline in 1999, while in the current crisis they are growing. Dynamics of changes in pensions in 2007-2009. will be discussed in detail below, but in the context of comparison with the previous crisis, it should be noted that the observed increase in pensions in the context of a large-scale deficit in the pension fund significantly limits the development of other social anti-crisis programs. In 1998, official wages fell by a third, incomes fell by 28% and,

193 as a result, poverty increased to 31%. If we compare the effects of the current and previous crises on incomes, the current crisis has so far had virtually no impact on the incomes of the population. However, if the mechanisms of “hard” devaluation are used, we may experience a drop in income comparable to the previous crisis. In the first year after the 1998 crisis, due to import substitution, wages hidden from observation were restored most quickly, which contributed to the rapid recovery of small and medium-sized businesses, and only starting in 2000, a general process began: accelerated growth. In the context of the current crisis, it is important to emphasize that there is currently no similar potential for import substitution, just as there are no other new windows for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, therefore there are no obvious economic prospects for the development of this sector.

CONCLUSION

Summing up the results of the dissertation work devoted to the analysis of the socio-demographic profile, factors and forms of manifestation of poverty of the Russian population, we will formulate the main conclusions, results and recommendations arising from the study.

The results of the analysis of conceptual approaches to the definition and measurement of poverty indicate that poverty, as an economic and social category, is relative in time and space, therefore approaches to its measurement are constantly transformed under the influence of economic, social, political and institutional factors. Consequently, methodological approaches to assessing poverty must be consistent with the emerging trends and the achieved level of economic, political and social development; system of priorities of state policy in the field of economics and social development; the existing system for organizing poverty data sources and prospects for their improvement.

Any concept* of defining and measuring poverty presupposes a methodological solution to two fundamental issues. First, establishing a poverty line or that minimum standard below which is considered poverty. Secondly, the determination of such characteristics of the level and quality of life of households, the comparison of which with the poverty line makes it possible to classify a family or individual as poor. Traditionally, there are three conceptual approaches to defining poverty: absolute, relative and subjective, and they are considered as alternatives. At the same time, alternativeness is manifested not only in a conceptual context, but also in the choice of monetary and non-monetary criteria for identifying poverty. In fact, in monetary terms, absolute, relative and subjective poverty lines represent a series of not alternative, but evolutionary poverty lines. The relative is higher than the absolute, and the subjective, in turn, is higher than the relative, and the monetary measurement eliminates the problem of exclusion from the number of poor when moving to lines of a higher order. In the case of non-monetary lines, when moving from one line to another or from monetary to non-monetary, some of the poor lose this status for the reason that a number of forms of manifestation of poverty are not reflected in the dynamics of monetary incomes of the population. To increase the degree of consistency and consistency of poverty assessments, a method of combining various definitions is used, the result of which is the identification of segments of fully consensual, partially consensual and single-criteria poverty. In* the dissertation work, three types of alternatives in measuring poverty are substantiated and empirically confirmed. The first arises in the case of monetary poverty lines in the chain: absolute, relative, subjective poverty line - and means a conceptual transition to higher-order poverty lines on the principle of included sets. The second is a conceptual transition in the non-monetary definition of poverty, when we are no longer talking about included sets, and each definition has a zone of independent poverty. And finally, the third case is when, within the framework of one concept, monetary and non-monetary criteria of poverty are compared.

The study showed that it is impossible to construct a single poverty line to address issues of monitoring, forecasting, analytical, management and political nature. National monitoring of most developed countries is based on a variety of single-criteria and consensual poverty lines. The Russian national poverty monitoring proposes to distinguish three groups of poverty lines, each of which contains lines to distinguish general and extreme poverty. The first is for the purposes of ongoing monitoring and management decision-making. It includes

305 absolute monetary poverty line, calculated on the basis of the subsistence minimum, and absolute monetary social poverty line to establish a minimum guaranteed income. In the future, it would be advisable to move from an absolute monetary threshold to a relative monetary threshold. The second group - for solving analytical problems - includes relative and subjective non-monetary poverty lines. For a comprehensive analysis, including the identification of consensual poverty, it is advisable to use three criteria: the subsistence level (absolute monetary, poverty line), deprivation index (relative non-monetary) and subjective non-monetary poverty line. This group also includes a national non-monetary line, which classifies as extremely poor everyone who has a level of caloric intake below that recommended in accordance with medical standards. The need for international comparisons determines the formation of a third group of poverty lines, combining relative and absolute "monetary poverty lines. The first. is determined at the level of 60% of the median income, and the second is calculated based on an estimate of the cost of daily consumption at the level of 2.15 US dollars, converted into national currency at purchasing power parity.

The results of the dissertation research made it possible to prove that when assessing income, it is advisable to switch to using scales for bringing per capita household income to a comparable form.

The economic nature of this effect is due to the presence of general family expenses and the dependence of consumer behavior models on the size and socio-demographic composition of the family.

Instrumentally, the problem is solved through the use of income equivalence scales that take into account savings on family size.

The use of the absolute poverty line and scales for converting per capita income into equivalent ones entails a significant reduction in the level and depth of

306 poverty. When using the national equivalence scale, the average poverty level for the population is reduced by 32%. In the case of other, more stringent international scales, the effect of reducing poverty is even greater, but changes in the structure of household consumption do not yet confirm the advisability of their use: The use of scales is also reflected in a change in the poverty profile, reducing poverty among families with children. Empirically, it has been confirmed that in the case of using the relative poverty line, the use of equivalent scales for bringing income to a comparable form has virtually no effect on the scale of poverty, but they adjust the profile, increasing the risks for pensioners and reducing them for families with children.

The practical application of equivalence scales is not limited to just bringing income to a comparable form. In social policy, they can be used to develop standards for minimum guarantees that are family-oriented or take into account the dependency burden. In particular, when determining the size of the minimum wage, which guarantees for those newly entering the labor market the opportunity to provide the child with the minimum required level of consumption; standard, equal; the amount of the subsistence minimum for an able-bodied person and half the subsistence minimum for a child should be adjusted by a coefficient of 0;81, taking into account the effects of savings for a family of three. As of the 2nd quarter of 2011, the level of the minimum wage, taking into account the child dependent burden, amounted to 117% of the subsistence level of the able-bodied person. A similar procedure should be applied when determining the social poverty line, which establishes the minimum guaranteed income. The introduction of equivalence scales into the practice of assessing per capita income will allow for correct comparisons of income and poverty indicators with OECD countries.

The Greer-Foster-Thorbeck Poverty Index is one of the main analytical tools in the study of poverty problems. To the zero degree it shows the level, to the first degree the depth, and to the second degree the severity of poverty. The zero degree of the index is widely used in the analysis of poverty profiles and structures. The first, capable of estimating the income gap of the poor in rubles, best takes into account the impact of policies on poverty dynamics. By relating revenue shortfalls to social policy expenditures, policy effects can be assessed. It was this poverty index, in combination with non-monetary poverty lines, that led to the conclusion that economic growth has a weak impact on poverty and that social policy measures are oriented towards preferential support for the non-poor.

An analysis of the profile of Russian poverty based on the current national poverty line showed that the predominance of working-age people among the poor is a distinctive feature of Russian poverty. Scientific analysis of the poverty profile shows that children are at high risk of poverty, a conclusion that remains true even when modern approaches are applied to defining the poverty line and measuring the household resources that are compared with it. The use of alternative poverty criteria and income equivalence scales reduces the poverty gap between children and the elderly, but children continue to be the leaders in poverty risk. It has been empirically proven that the qualitative heterogeneity of poverty, identified using various criteria, has increased during the stage of economic growth. This confirms the need, firstly, to include alternative measurements in the constant monitoring of poverty; secondly, to develop differentiated policies to promote poverty reduction.

To analyze the factors of poverty in the dissertation research, a two-stage methodology for their typology is proposed, taking into account

308 (features of economic development, implemented social policy and

I models of household economic behavior. At the first stage, a comprehensive analysis of poverty profiles is carried out. Comprehensiveness is ensured by the use of three methods of analysis, the first of which is based on grouping the population and households based on economic and socio-demographic characteristics and the use of indices and alternative definitions of poverty. This method made it possible to identify three overlapping groups, the socio-economic status 4 and behavior patterns of which determine the specifics of Russian poverty: households with children; households with pensioners and households with non-working able-bodied people. The second method is to determine the main factors of poverty based on a detailed analysis of the poverty profile of three identified groups of households. It allowed us to identify three domains

I factors of poverty: distribution relations - in the sphere of formation of income of the population; models of household connection with the labor market; influence of social programs on the dynamics of poverty. The third method is regression analysis of poverty factors on individual and household

1 levels. It allowed us to identify another domain of factors: the impact of new market opportunities on the dynamics of well-being and poverty. At the second stage, at the macro and micro levels, a selection of the main factors in each of the selected groups is carried out. "The implementation of this technique made it possible to prove that the catalyst

I poverty is the situation on the labor market. At the macroeconomic level, the Russian labor market model is focused on maintaining employment by reducing wages, reducing the number of jobs in large and medium-sized enterprises, and moving workers to lower-paid small businesses and the informal employment sector. Only for the period from 2002 to 2010. the number of jobs filled by full-time employees at large and medium-sized enterprises decreased by 5.5 million people. At the end of 2010, such workers accounted for only 50% of the total

309 number of employed population. Despite the fact that macro data indicate high employment in Russia, sample surveys of the population indicate that about 10% of Russian households contain people of working age who do not work or study. Testing poverty factors through logistic regression at the individual and household levels shows that the odds of being unemployed are twice as likely to be poor compared to those in the workforce, and households with unemployed working-age people are 3.4 times more likely to be poor. The Russian economic model ensures competitiveness through low wages; thereby forming a specific structure and profile of Russian poverty with increased risks for families with children and a high share among the working poor.

Developing the theory of basic functional capabilities, A. Sen noted that the effectiveness of the socio-economic environment is largely determined by equality of opportunity in the implementation of available resources. In other words, it is necessary to answer the question of the significance of new market development resources for promoting poverty reduction.

An analysis of distribution relations has shown that, under the existing development model, economic growth continues to contribute to increased inequality and the widespread prevalence of non-monetary forms of poverty. New market opportunities for increasing well-being are either available to a very limited number of households (income from property) or are characterized by high intra-group inequality, which indicates poor conditions for the implementation of growth resources available to the masses of the population (entrepreneurial activity, labor mobility, education). The dissertation proposes to use Theil entropy indices, which make it possible to decompose inequality into intergroup and intragroup, to check how households are differentiated by income, differing in the potential for connection with the labor market, level of education and place of residence (region

310 residence, type of settlement). Employment, education and urban living are seen as traditional market resources for increasing well-being. The region of residence is tested based on the specifics of the Russian economy, which is manifested in the concentration of points of economic growth in metropolitan cities and regions with an export-oriented economy. The region of residence indirectly measures the opportunities for effective, from the point of view of increasing well-being, spatial labor mobility. The higher the intergroup inequality, the more likely it is that high or, conversely, low incomes are associated with groups of households that differ in the characteristics being tested.

According to the results obtained during the dissertation research, neither education, nor employment, nor living in regions or types of settlements with favorable economic conditions guarantee a high level of well-being. In all cases, intragroup inequality is significantly higher than intergroup inequality. As development progresses, there is a trend of increasing positive effects on the well-being of education, employment, and opportunities for* rational labor mobility, but it is insignificant compared to the growth rate of GDP and average income. Consequently, other mechanisms of access to high incomes are at work.

The social protection system that has developed in modern Russia, provided that the contribution of social transfers to the population’s income has reached a historical maximum, is not an effective institution for promoting poverty reduction. All insurance and non-insurance benefits, including the basic part of the old-age labor pension, do not guarantee individual incomes at the subsistence level. Families with children under one and a half years old receive significant social assistance, which can reach up to 70% of the child’s subsistence level in the event of the birth of a second child. At the same time, families with children from one and a half to 16 years old have

311 right only to benefits for. children from poor families, the size of which varies by region, but the national average is low - 6% of the child’s subsistence level. The share of spending on targeted social programs for the poor in total spending on social policy continues to decline, and these programs themselves are characterized by low effectiveness. The maximum contribution of these programs to the income of recipients based on the results of sample household surveys does not exceed 10%; in general, the total contribution of these programs to the income of the population is less than the help of relatives. Supply shortage of health services; social services for caring for children and the elderly determine their widespread use; non-monetary poverty.

The increased authority of non-monetary criteria in assessing the standard of living has updated the use of the index method for; measuring well-being that takes into account a wide range of monetary and non-monetary characteristics. Proposed in; dissertation, a multidimensional index of material security, the values ​​of which at the household level are standardized ranks; varying from 0 to 100; is; is a "multidimensional" characteristic of material security, taking into account income, property and housing security, household consumption and their subjective assessments of material capabilities. This tool significantly expands analytical capabilities not only when studying poverty, but also in the case of identifying the well-being of other social groups, for example, the middle class.

Analysis of the socio-demographic profile, factors and forms of manifestation: poverty made it possible to formulate proposals for a new model of national poverty monitoring. It is based on the use of different poverty lines, the introduction of a national income equivalence scale that takes into account the effect of savings on food, and the modular principle of organizing household surveys.

The principle of modularity in this case is implemented in three directions. The first is to create the possibility of combining the results of the main surveys based on grouping by key household characteristics. The second is the identification of a constant and variable part in the program of each survey. And third, the ability to collect information on different programs from the same source for three years. For a comprehensive analysis of poverty, it is proposed to conduct three types of household surveys: (1) a survey of the living conditions of the population, the basis of which can be a survey of budgets, households (HBS), conducted quarterly by Rosstat; (2) a modernized current quarterly employment survey; (3) a survey of population incomes that is not yet available in Russia. The implementation of survey data and the introduction of the proposed family of poverty lines will allow, in a monitoring mode, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the profile, factors and forms of manifestation of poverty.

The dissertation research allows us to conclude that the national strategy for promoting poverty reduction in Russia began to take shape only during the years of economic growth and was based on rising wages and the expansion of social protection measures for certain categories of the population. The minimum wage in January was

In 2001, 13.2% of the working-age subsistence level (PLS), by January 2009 it rose to 78% of the PMS. Two large-scale reforms were implemented in the social protection system (monetization of benefits and family policy measures), promoting income growth for the elderly and families with children under 1.5 years of age. They had an impact on the cash income of the population and were considered as measures of a strategy to help reduce poverty. The next step was implementation in 2008-2009. anti-crisis program of the Government, within the framework of which in January 2009 the minimum wage was doubled, unemployment benefits were increased by 1.5 times, and the wage fund for federal employees

313 budgetary sphere - 1.36 times. At this stage, the pension was repeatedly increased and measures were taken to reduce tension in the labor market. To support the incomes of pensioners, a program was adopted that guarantees each pensioner an individual income not lower than the subsistence level. In general, anti-crisis measures contained the fall in wages and contributed to a significant increase in pensions even in the most problematic year of 2008: in December 2008, the average real wage was 101% of the level in the corresponding period of the previous year, and the average pension was 124.1%. In 2009, these figures were 97.2% and 123.6%, respectively.

However, against the backdrop of anti-poverty measures, a process of growing income differentiation developed. This means that the budget sector, pensions and social support programs for the population developed more slowly than sectors of the economy associated with current economic growth. The second problem of the Russian strategy for promoting poverty reduction is due to the lack of significant progress in the development of measures aimed at eliminating extreme poverty, despite the fact that these are the actions recommended by the Millennium Declaration for medium- and highly developed countries.

So, in the first ten years of the second millennium, Russia, relying on the effects of economic growth and moderate development of social programs, significantly reduced the level of monetary poverty among workers and pensioners, but was unable to achieve significant progress in reducing monetary poverty among families with children and non-monetary poverty among all socio-demographic groups of the population. The development of two directions of socio-economic policy will allow us to overcome this contradiction.

The first can be formulated as follows: from a policy of low unemployment to a policy of effective employment, and from cheap and unskilled jobs to jobs with decent wages and high

314 labor qualifications. Currently, the vast majority of instruments and, accordingly, actions in the labor market are reduced to regulating open (registered) unemployment (2.6% of the economically active population) in order to maintain a formally high level of employment, but does not pursue the goal of restructuring employment (92% of the economically active population). active population). The policy of maintaining old inefficient jobs prevails over the policy of creating new effective jobs. Today's employment policy is not that, but a policy of counteracting unemployment. Its consequences are the preservation of the archaic structure of the economy, low labor productivity, low levels of wages in absolute terms, the formation and chronic reproduction of a group of “working poor”.

The second is related to the development of social programs: from social protection of certain categories of the population to priority support for poor households at various stages of the life cycle. The existing system of social support for the population, especially cash benefits for poor families with children, is not tied to the family life cycle. If the social support system is not tied to the life cycles of the family, then it does not perform the function of harmonizing the distribution of powers to ensure the level and quality of life between families, the state and markets. As a result, stress occurs for the family, to which it responds by reducing the birth rate, which entails “stress” for the social infrastructure that relies on the stability of the consumer contingent.

Most of the poor are two-parent families with children

Which population groups are at increased risk of poverty and who makes up the majority of the poor?

In the most general form, the poverty profile that has developed in Russia allows us to distinguish three categories of households:

Traditionally poor(large and single-parent families, as well as families of pensioners living alone), which amount to approximately 30% of the total number of poor . The families of pensioners that make up them do not have a high level of poverty, which cannot be said about large and single-parent families.

The largest group of the poor population is families with children. Depending on the welfare indicators used to assess poverty, they amount to 50-60% of the total number of poor families (Tables 2, 3), and they account for 70-80% of the income deficit, which indicates the deep poverty of this type of family. Half of these families have a favorable demographic structure (married couples with 1-2 children and other relatives), so their poverty is not associated with a high dependent child burden.

Mixed families without children make up about 20% of the total number of poor people, and they account for 13-16% of the revenue shortfall.

Figure 3. Risk of becoming poor in terms of income and disposable resources for individual demographic groups of households, %

The ratios in the standard of living and poverty of individual demographic groups of households, which are recorded according to the NOBUS survey in 2003, have been relatively stable over the past 10 years. Household budget survey data conducted by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) invariably indicate an increased risk of poverty among traditionally the most vulnerable groups (large and single-parent families). But on the other hand, there is an unacceptably high representation among the poor groups of two-parent families with children under 18 years of age, which account for more than half of the total deficit of disposable resources.

Thus, we can conclude that poverty in modern Russia is predominantly “childish” due to both the deep poverty of traditional risk groups and due to falling into the number of poor families that are quite prosperous in terms of demographic characteristics. The objective reality is that the birth of a second child in a family is, in the current economic conditions, an orientation towards the consumer behavior of the poor.
