Abstract
The article reviews the main approaches to the definition and measurement of poverty, the author's definition of the poverty profile is given. Based on the data of Statistical Survey of Income and Participation in Social Programs 2019 by Rosstat the tools for constructing and analyzing the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the population with average monthly per capita monetary incomes from 1.0 to 1.2 subsistence minimum (PM), located in the zone of increased risk of crossing the official poverty line are developed and tested. The modal characteristics of the population in the zone of increased risk of poverty both in Russia and in the North Caucasus and Volga Federal Districts separately are studied. Methods of work: dialectical method of cognition, systematic approach, structural analysis, methods of statistical processing of information, comparisons and groupings, general scientific methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction and concretization, etc.). As a result of the conducted research, the causes and specifics of regional poverty of the Russian population are determined and categories of families (households) are identified with average monthly per capita monetary incomes from 1.0 to 1.2 PM, who have the highest risks of poverty. The scope of application of the results obtained - the results of the analysis of the characteristics of families at risk of poverty contained in the work can be used by federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the development of preventive measures to prevent the population near the poverty line from falling into the category of poor.
