Description
Summary:The results of differentiation analysis of money income in the Tyumen region are presented in this paper. Analysis of differentiation was performed using Foster-Greer-Torbeke class indicators by areas included in Tyumen region: autonomous areas (Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamal-Nenets) and the southern part of the region. It is shown that, along with increasing interterritorial income differentiation, income differentiation within these regions is also growing. Based on the results of an assessment carried out during the last ten years in the social policy, the package of measures aimed at improving the situation of the poor population is proposed. Thus, it is shown that the advancement of the poor population may be the result of a comprehensive social policy aimed at reducing income inequality by eliminating the strain distribution in the relationship. The emphasis of the regional authorities should be given to programs that go beyond the narrow definition of social protection: programs to improve labour market efficiency, quality of workforce and education etc.
