The average annual subsistence minimum for the working-age population. What a subsistence minimum in Russia

Many our fellow citizens are wondering what we will try to understand this matter in more detail.

Probably, every Russian has heard of such a thing as the minimum living permissive minimum. But not everyone understands what exactly it means why it is necessary and how this amount is calculated.

What it is?

Living wage In our country, implies the definition of the real value of the so-called conditional consumer basket. In other words, it is the amount of the amount monthly to a person in order to satisfy the most minimal needs in the sense of nutrition and ensuring required conditions For survival.

The concept of "subsistence minimum" is mainly statistical and serves to identify the standard of living and income of the population. Thus, two main groups of people are distinguished - poor and not poor. The first category includes citizens whose monthly income is below the minimum subsistence level. The second category of the population is citizens whose income exceeds the amount established as a "subsistence minimum".

in Moscow

If we consider the question from the point of view of the realities of Russian citizens, in particular people living in the capital, then the amount recognized by the state as a "subsistence minimum", is not enough to ensure that Moskvich can provide himself with the most essential goods. Most of the inhabitants of our main metropolis, according to numerous social polls, argue that this amount is not enough to live on them one calendar month.

In addition, it is believed that in Moscow heavily understated.

Nevertheless, the state clearly defined the list of needs, which is experiencing a Russian citizen, and the satisfaction of which is the main condition for its survival. These needs and "filled" the so-called minimum consumer basket.

The composition of the minimum consumer basket

IN this concept Conventionally includes two categories of the most simplest needs of Moscow citizens per person. The first category includes the necessary food, and the second - non-food products, as well as services. The table in the subsistence minimum in Moscow will be presented below.

The number and amount of these needs for the working-age population is determined for the year. This list includes:

• bread, as well as other bakery products, cereals, pasta, legumes, etc. - 127 kg;
• potatoes - 101 kg;
• vegetables - 115.5 kg;
• fruits and berries - 61.5 kg;
• sugar, as well as confectionery - 23 kg;
• meat and meat semi-finished products - 57.5 kg;
• fish - 19.5 kg;
• dairy products - 295 kg;
• eggs - 220 pieces;
• various types of oil (vegetable, creamy, etc.) - 12 kg;
• tea, coffee, spices, salt, etc. - 5.5 kg.

Non Food Group

What else affects the minimum subsistence minimum in Moscow? Non food basket. It contains, as a rule, clothing, household items and personal hygiene, as well as various types of service, including utilities. This group includes:

• outerwear - 3 pieces for 7.5 years;
• lightweight outerwear - 7 pieces for 4.5 years;
• linen - 10 pieces for 2.5 years;
• socks, tights, etc. - 6 pieces for 1.5 years;
• hats, haberdashery - 4 pieces for 6 years;
• shoes - 5 pairs for 3.5 years;
• written accessories - 2 pieces for 1 year;
• economic, as well as various household goods - 18 pieces for 11 years;
• bed linen and accessories for sleep - 13 pieces for 8 years;
• sanitation and personal hygiene objects, as well as drugs - 11% of monetary sumwhich is spent monthly on non-food products.

In Moscow, in addition to food and non-food products, also includes some services. In accordance with the legislation and the size of the "subsistence minimum" in the capital, one adult able-bodied person is annually necessary:

• providing residential area - 18 square meters;
• heating of residential premises - 6.9 Gcal;
• water (both cold and hot, including drainage) - 285.5 liters per day;
• electricity - 50 kW * h;
• gas supply - 11 cubic meters (monthly);
• use vehicles - 628 times a year;
• services of culture, sports, etc. - is 5% of monthly sumprovided for payment for services;
• other services - 16% of the monthly amount coming to pay for services.

What a minimum cost of living in Moscow, knows not every resident of the capital.

Minor advantages

In accordance with the legislation and regulatory actsapproved specifically for residents of the capital, the size of the subsistence minimum is also applied to calculate the citizens social paymentsprovided for by federal laws and other regulatory legal acts. It can be:

• additional cash benefits for the birth of children to young families (in order to stimulate fertility in the country);
• monthly monetary help People who were in a difficult life situation a one-time payment in the form of compensation for reimbursement of expenses that are associated with the adoption of children;
• monthly child manual;
• subsidies for utility payments;
• monthly payout Lonely mothers in the form of compensation due to the increase in the cost of life.

The size of these benefits can also influence the amount of the subsistence minimum in Moscow.

Objectives for establishing a subsistence minimum

In addition to the above payments, the subsistence minimum is also taken into account when accrualing social scholarships to students from low-income families, when registering on improved programs housing conditions, calculation of subsidies for payment of services residential premises, providing legal assistance in free, etc.

The minimum value monetary pay For life, it is also calculated for different categories of the population, which include:

• able-bodied citizens;
• pensioners;
• children.

For each of them, there is a separate subsistence minimum in the capital, the significance of which is determined in accordance with the special needs of citizens within a certain category. Subsequently, this value is taken into account in the process of assessing the standard of living of Moscow residents, as well as to plan to implement social support in need.

Features of calculating the minimum subsistence minimum in Moscow

This amount is calculated in accordance with the outcome of the past quarter and relies on special data obtained government agencies Statistics in the city of Moscow about the level of food prices, as well as non-food products necessary for citizens.

The size of the subsistence minimum is determined by a quarterly decree of the government, and enters into force from the date of its publication in official sources.

Value for different categories of Muscovites

This amount is calculated individually for different categories of the population of Moscow. Thus, three types of subsistence minimum differ:

• for able-bodied citizens;
• for pensioners;
• for kids.

For the last subsistence minimal minimal, it is maximum for the working population of the city of Moscow.

The cost of the conditional consumer basket in the capital is somewhat higher than in other regions of Russia. This is explained by the fact that life in this city is much more expensive.

As a result, the magnitude of the subsistence minimum here is 17,674 rubles for worm Muscovites, 13,453 rubles for children, and 10,874 rubles - for people of retirement age.

This question is quite difficult. Although the norms are established by the state, they are still constantly changing. Therefore, data changes are carefully monitored. As a rule, if a person does not have the very minimum, it can be recognized as needing. In Russia, such citizens provide support from the state. So what is included in the subsistence minimum? How much is it at the moment? Than in obligatory should every citizen of the country should be provided? About all this Next!

By category

To be honest, our today's question includes a huge number of features. What is included in the subsistence minimum in Russia for 2016? To begin with, this is money. It is them that they are generally understood first to understand under the "minimum."

Just the size of these is constantly changing. Moreover, much depends on what category of citizens you belong. In Russia, this is taken into account. So, for example, for children, the indicator will be one, and for the working-age population - completely different. Where did this rule come from?

All this is invented on the basis of human needs in one or another period of life. The cost of living should provide a normal life to a citizen. So to speak, supply it the most necessary for life and health without frills and luxury. If more specifically, how much money At the moment, it is necessary for one or another categories of citizens?

Money

It has already been said that the subsistence minimum, in any case in the monetary expression, is constantly changing. You have to learn accurate information for a specific time interval. At the moment, this figure has increased slightly. Anyway, for some individuals.

In the first quarter of 2016, 9,776 rubles accounted for per capita. It is for this amount that life will have to ensure. If you think about, not so much (including permanent growth prices in Russia). But retirees are less lucky. For them, a minimum of 8,025 rubles amounted to only a month.

Two more categories of citizens for whom the minimum monetary expression has different meanings - this is a able-bodied population and children. The first was 10,524 rubles, and the second is 9,677 rubles. Such norms are currently installed in Russia. Now it is clear how much the cost of living is 2016 (1 quarter) in monetary terms. But do not rush to rejoice!

Do not converge

Why? The problem is because in most cases a worthy standard of living for the specified amounts is simply impossible. Prices are only growing, and rapidly. At the same time, the earnings of citizens decrease. And if it rises, it does not sleep during the speed of rising prices. Therefore, "survive" is very difficult.

By the way, Russia is perhaps the only country where the "minimum life" exceeds the minimum wage of the population. It's not too good. To think about how much the cost of living in the country almost does not make sense when you do not have too high earnings. Or he is medium, but in the family you have a lot of members.

Nevertheless, from somewhere because this minimum is taken away! It is not just so come up with the government! Really. After all, there are some features and moments that are included in the subsistence minimum. Just on the amounts mentioned earlier. In any case, the state believes that citizens must "fit" in them on monthly spending.

Consumer basket

All this thanks to the designed system called a consumer basket. It turns on by everything that citizens must be provided for normal life. Moreover, nothing depends on your desires - no personal preferences or sings! Please note: the calculation of the consumer basket takes into account the period of 12 months!

What is included in the subsistence minimum? These are goods and services that provide a certain (minimum) standard of living of the population, taking into account the term of "life" of some items. Consumer basket also depends on the category of citizens. And includes three main components: products, non-food products and services. Now in Russia there are rules established back in 2013. So far, the consumer basket will not change. In any case, it is assumed that it is valid until 2018. What is included in it? To consider possible options Better for the working-age population. It is it that constitutes the main mass of the country's inhabitants.

Products

A huge role (and a large population) plays able-bodied citizens. Already in a cash minimum it is clear that such persons are relying the most resources and services. So it is here that there will be the greatest indicators.

First of all, it is worth paying attention to the set of products. Consumer basket indicates only the most necessary components. And it does not matter whether you use one or another component or not. Per minimum, able-bodied citizens should be (in kilograms):

• bread products - 126.5;
• potatoes - 100.4;
• vegetables - 114;
• fruit - about 60;
• sugar and "Confectionee" - by 24;
• 58.5 meat products, 19 - fish;
• dairy products - almost 300 (more precisely, 290);
• 210 eggs;
• fats (margarine, oil and so on) - 10.

Please note: bread products include a variety of cereals and pasta. Also here are included bean, bread, flour, bakery products. Plus, about 5 kilograms are given on other "expenses". Here is such a set of products involves our minimum. Other food products will be taken out: salt, tea, coffee, a variety of spices. In general, everything that can be used in food, as well as not included in the above detailed list.

Not food

What are the essential goods? And what is included in the list of non-food minimum? This includes:

• outerwear (coat);
• costume and dresses (upper);
• underwear;
• hats;
• circulatory products;
• footwear;
• stationery (including school supplies);
• linens;
• household goods;
• sources (medicines, sanitary items).

Accordingly, they also have a certain amount of each. Wheel-bodied citizens can count, respectively, the following indicators (in quotes indicate the term of life in years, the pieces and pairs of components are taken into account):

• 3 (7,5);
• 8 (4);
• 9 (2,4);
• 7 (1,5)
• 5 (5);
• 6 (3,3);
• 3 (1);
• 14 (7);
• 19 (10,4);
• 10% of non-food costs.

Services

At this, physiological mortar minimum for the working-age population does not end. It remains to consider more mandatory services, which every year every citizen must receive an average. All this is not as difficult for understanding, but remember the exact data is not easy! So, to mandatory services include:

• housing (18 square meters);
• heating (6.7 gkal);
• water (cold and hot - 285 liters per day);
• gas (10 cubic meters / month);
• electricity (per month 50 kilowatt);
• transport (620 trips per year);
• "Cultural" services (5% of expenses);
• other (15% of spending).

All of the above is a social mortar for citizens. Or rather, it takes into account only what is needed by an average able-bodied person in the country. But only in this matter there is one huge drawback. Which one? We'll see now.

Does not work

The problem is due to the fact that often the entire consumer basket does not take into account the cost of services. That is, it is calculated with an approximate calculation of the country's average price tags. But in different regions, a variety of prices and products and products and services are dominated in different regions.

Plus, if you think about and divided, for example, food products by 12, then the indicators will be obtained, which per month must "consume" a citizen. In the cost of living (monetary terms) "fit" is almost impossible. After all, the cost of services and goods in the regions is constantly increasing. And the payment of labor, as already mentioned, or decreases, or remains unchanged.

This means that it is almost impossible to provide yourself with everything most necessary at the expense of the minimum funds in practice. Only if you buy alone food products on them. And then the diet will be not too enriched. Thus, for the population, the established minimum accommodation conditions seem to be solidly mockery! Now it is clear what is included in the subsistence minimum. Most of the population are not in accordance with these indicators. It has already been said - to live on the specified restrictions is extremely difficult!

Almost up to 12 thousand rubles will rise by the cost of living in Moscow from January 1, 2018 for pensioners. The corresponding ruling of the government of the capital was made at a meeting of the Moscow City Duma in the fall of the current year. It is expected that the value of PM pensioner in Moscow will be 11'816 rubles.

Subscessary minimum and benefits for pensioners in Moscow

In the second quarter of 2017, the level of subsistence minimum in Moscow rose to 16'426 rubles. This was officially announced in September with reference to the Government Decree, signed by Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. According to the document, compared with the first quarter of this year, PM in the capital grew by 6.1%, or 949 rubles in cash equivalent.

Comparative table of the subsidized subsistence minimum in Moscow:

According to the government, 42'370 people live in Moscow (data for August 2017), which is relied on social surcharge to the subsistence minimum in the region. Together with the increase of PM will be increased and pensions. It is expected that next year the average size will be 14'329 rubles, and by 2020 - 15.5 thousand rubles.

• medical products and drugs released by recipes; Specialized drug food for children with disabilities;
• providing vouchers to health and spa-resort institutions for the prevention of major diseases;
• providing free travel in railway commuter transport, compensation for fares to the place of treatment and back (on long-distance transport).

These benefits are provided in the form of cash payments.

Increase the minimum wage

Also prepared a document that enhancing the minimum wage. The author of the bill was the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. It is expected that the minimum wage will be 9'489 rubles.

The adoption of the draft law will allow partially to reduce tensions with citizens working for low pay, experts consider. At the same time, they express their concerns, including the transition to the "gray" employment and the possible increase in prices in the country.

Important! According to the Government of Russia in 2016, there were about 12.1 million people belonging to the category "Poor Work". In percentage ratio - 16.8% of overall able-bodied population.

The term "poor working Russians" used Vice Prime Minister Olga Golodets, saying that such a phenomenon was observed in the country. The official noted that to solve the problem of the authorities, together with representatives of the business, it is necessary to pay attention to those enterprises where wages are lower than the subsistence minimum. She supports Maxim Sokolov, who holds the post of associate professor of the Department of State and Municipal Administration of the Russian Economic University. G.V. Plekhanova: " Increasing from January 1, 2018, the minimum wage to 85% of the subsistence minimum, and from January 1, 2019 - up to 100%, is a serious step towards solving this problem.».

The level of the subsistence minimum differs from the minimum amount of wages by the fact that the first is calculated for all categories of the population, and the minimum wage is only about working-bodied citizens. Such an approach leveals a situation in which a family of several people lays monthly costs for the child and disabled pensionersdependent. Some experts express the opinion that this trend can be corrected by increasing wages In the budget sector, specifically, the category of employees whose amount of payment is below the level of subsistence minimum.

The amount of the subsistence minimum is the value of the consumer basket, which characterizes the minimum set of goods and services necessary in order to preserve human health and ensure its livelihood. This indicator serves as a state guarantee that citizens of the Russian Federation will receive minimum cash income and other social protection measures. It can be determined per capita and the main socio-demographic groups of the population - able-bodied, retirees and children. Since it is precisely the size of the subsistence minimum determines the standard of living of the population, he can somehow touch each citizen of the country. In the proposed article you will find answers to typical questions about this indicator - Why do he need someone who sets it, what time and what it affects, as well as where can you always find the current size of the subsistence minimum and in which documents?

For the first time, the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation was established from January 1, 1998. It was introduced as a value equivalent, which was intended to substantiate the magnitude of the minimum "size" of remuneration - the so-called minimum wage. According to Article 2 of Federal Law No. 134-ФЗ dated 10.24.1997 "On the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation" with the help of a subsistence minimum in Russia as a whole at the federal level:

• justifies the minimum "size" of wages at the federal level;
• the size, scholarships and other social benefits are determined at the federal level;

It should be known that the amount of the subsistence minimum is not at all abstraction. On the contrary, it is an important indicator, based on which citizens can be and get the right to benefits and.

When is a family or a lonely person considered poor?

In particular, the size of the subsistence minimum is important for people who can be recognized by poor. This is the most social and unprotected category of citizens who can get fringe benefits from the state. Citizen or family is considered if the income of each family member or a lonely person is less than the subsistence minimum, which is established in this subject Russian Federation.

Where can I find out the current size of the subsistence minimum?

In general, the country's data on the subsistence minimum is published quarterly in the publications of the Government of the Russian Federation and on its official website. According to regions of the Russian Federation, they publish official publications of the executive authorities of the subjects.

Is it possible to "live" to the subsistence minimum?

Modern life requires constant attention to material issues. It is impossible to present a full-fledged existence of each of us, without orientation on cash benefits, without which it is already difficult to imagine the life of any person. And no matter how much it wanted the world to become at least a bit different, still every day you have to pay attention to the material world. In our country, there is the concept of a minimum subsistence minimum, which determines many components of the social structure. Today we will find out what the subsistence minimum in 2018 in Russia and how it affects the usual citizens.

What is the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation?

The cost of living in Russia (hereinafter PM) is a fixed minimum amount that every citizen of our country should receive to ensure its material and spiritual needs for minimum. Actually pm is the cost of the minimum consumer basket. This figure is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, based on economic situation At a certain period of time, on average, it is calculated quarterly, for example for the 2nd quarter of 2017, the amount of the subsistence minimum was 10 thousand. 329 rubles. (per capita). In order for the size of PM change significantly, serious political and economic changes are required. Ideally, the subsistence minimum should grow every year, taking into account this inflation, but, unfortunately, this practice occurs as often as expected.

It should be noted that in the last 20 years, the magnitude is minimal. The amount of wages () and the subsistence minimum did not coincide. Despite the fact that the legislation prohibits paying for the work of citizens less than it requires the emerging minimum, yet, more than 20% of the population of our country actually live for money smaller than the law provides. This situation is considered to be partially allowed in 2018, and fully compare the minimum wage with the subsistence minimum only in 2019.

Size of the subsistence minimum in 2018 in Russia (forecast)

At the time of writing this article, the magnitude of the national PM has not yet been determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, in accordance. from federal law N 134-FZ (from 10/24/1997) on the basis of the consumer basket, but at the same time some regions of the Russian Federation have already established subsistence minisses for 2018, in particular for pensioners. So for example, PM for pensioners was installed in the following regions: Arkhangelsk region. - 10258 rub. (2.6% more than 2 square meters. 2017), Samara region. - 8413 (5% more), Kirov region - 8474 (8.2%), Republic of Dagestan - 8440 (by 9.8%), Stavropol region - 8135 (by 11.7%), etc. Thus, given the trend of the regions, to increase the size of PM for 2018, we can conclude that at the national level size of the subsistence minimum 2018Also will increase by an average of 2-10%. Based on these data, it can be assumed that on average in the country in 2018, PM per capita will be within the limits from 10535 to 11361 rubles , For pensioners, this indicator will be from 8676 to 9356 rubles (see whether they will rise in Russia).

Subsistence minimum in the regions of the Russian Federation

PM across the country is far from the same, in some regions it is more, in others - less. Although the amount of PM is established by the legislative federal government, each region has the right to adjust this amount in accordance with its own realities. Thus, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kamchatka and Magadan are most rich in the standards of PM regions. The smallest PM in Russia is currently in Udmurtia, Adygea, Pskov, Bryansk, etc. Also, it is worthwhile that PM is divided into the following types: for children, for the working-age population, for pensioners, per capita. Recall that for the 2nd quarter of 2017, the national subsistence minimum was 10,3329 rubles. per capita, 11163 r. - for the working-age population, 8506 p. - For pensioners, 10160 r. - for kids.
