Abstract
The article is devoted to both the «eternal» and the actual problem of poverty which actually reflects the development of any state. The relevance and the urgency of this matter are predetermined by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin dated May 7, 2018 «On the National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2024» [Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, from May 7, 2018 No. 204 «On the National Goals and Strategic Objectives Development of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2024», 2018, 1]. According to the document, the key tasks for the coming years are reducing poverty by half, ensuring the growth of the welfare of citizens which should be reflected in the national project developed by the Government of the Russian Federation.Implementation of these tasks is rather complicated by the fact that in the current Russian practice only a monetary approach to determining the level of poverty is used, which does not reflect the characteristics, causes, factors of poverty of a particular group of the population; the adopted methodology for calculating poverty does not fully take into account the real situation of citizens. Solving the problem is limited only to raising incomes to the subsistence minimum as well as to the payment of various types of social benefits.In this regard, it is important to identify and apply social indicators that are based on a comprehensive account of the accumulated wealth of science approaches to poverty assessment.Object. Population unable to meet the minimum basic needs.Subject. Features of poverty in modern Russia.Aim. Identification of social indicators to manage inequalities.The Main Theoretical Provisions of the Article. Poverty exists in any society, characterized by inconsistency, diversity. In scientific practice, there are three main theoretical and methodological approaches to measuring poverty: absolute, relative and subjective. Due to several concepts being known, there are different estimates of poverty. In this regard, a number of social indicators to characterize the individual sides of the level of welfare of the population have been determined.
Keywords:
poverty, standard of living, subsistence level, social indicators
