| description | This research focuses on the statistical analysis of the standard of living in the Russian North. The objectives of the study encompass a theoretical review of both Russian and international literature on living standards and an analysis of key indicators from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), examining income, expenses, and consumption patterns in the northern regions of Russia. The standard of living is recognized as a multifaceted social and economic category, reflecting the level of providing the population with consumer goods and services. This provision aims to shape a mix that best satisfies demands. In Russia’s northern regions, this domain is influenced by distinctive factors, including challenging natural and climatic conditions, limited transportation, and the application of a regional pay system, which includes Northern benefits. The research identifies a gap in Russian studies concerning the differentiation of the standard of living by regions, particularly in lacking tools to assess rational consumption patterns. The use of the living wage proves challenging due to its monetary nature, and the utilization of a fixed market basket overlooks the necessity to consider difficult natural and climatic conditions. The scientific novelty of this study lies in terminology updates and an integrated approach to analyzing regional differentiation in the standard of living within the Russian North. The long-term implications of further research revolve around the imperative to develop a method for assessing such differentiation and to upgrade research and practical recommendations for improving living standards in the northern regions of Russia. |
