What is the living wage today? What is the cost of living in Russia

The Moscow region is a typical example of how life in Moscow differs from life in the rest of Russia. The notorious example that it is worth driving 100 km from the capital, and you can see the real country - this is exactly about this region. This idea is confirmed, including with the numbers on hand. Recently we talked about the value of , today we will pay attention to the area. What is the cost of living in the Moscow region in 2018, how living wage pensioner affects the value of the minimum pension in the Moscow region.

The amount of the subsistence minimum in the Moscow region in 2018

If we talk about statistics, then, of course, it can only be obtained after the period for which it is measured. It also takes some time to process statistics, so, for example, in January 2018, we only have data for the third quarter (July-September) of 2017. As of that period, the living wage in the Moscow Region, which we are guided by in 2018, was:

• 11.865 rubles - the total amount,
• 13.146 rubles - for a working resident of the region,
• 8.918 rubles - for a pensioner,
• 11.522 rubles - per child.

However, Moscow pensioners need to keep in mind that the regional government is operating from January 1, 2018 with a different, higher figure!

Back in October 2017, it was announced that the amount of the living wage for a pensioner for 2018 in the region is set at 9.527 rubles. This is a rather important decision of the regional government, since this will be the amount of pension for those elderly residents of the Moscow region, whose pension, after its calculation, turned out to be lower than this amount. The regional budget pays extra to pensioners in such cases up to the established value of the minimum amount necessary for survival.

In the Moscow region, such an additive and a landmark for this important regional economic indicator, established for pensioners for 2018, is relevant for 159 thousand elderly residents.

For whom the cost of living will also be important

In addition to pensioners, statistics for 2017 will be relevant, in particular, for young families in the Moscow region, in which after January 1, 2018 the first or second child will appear. Focusing on the size of the regional subsistence minimum, such families will be able to calculate whether they can qualify for new increased payments per child.

So, for example, if one family member, including a newborn child, accounts for less than 1.5 subsistence minimums in the Moscow Region, the family has the right to receive a monthly amount, which, again, is equal to the minimum established in the region for children. This, as we noted above, is about 11.5 thousand rubles.

There are two options for these payments:

• for the first child - and then the budget finances the payment,
• for the second child - then the payment can be issued in the quality that was received for this child.

Recall that important condition for such payments, the date of birth of the child is used - payments will be valid if he was born starting from January 1, 2018.

The standard of living is made up of the needs that we experience daily. It is easier to divide them into food needs and non-food needs. TO food includes a food set, the minimum necessary to ensure and maintain human life, to non-food- goods and services that do not include food, but are also an integral part of human life support. These include, for example, clothing, hygiene items, as well as mandatory government payments and fees.

The subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation

news

The subsistence minimum is essentially intended to justify the value and is equated to the value consumer basket.

Consumer basket 2016

At its core, the living wage is the minimum cost of the so-called "consumer basket", which includes food and non-food products.

Roughly speaking, so that a person does not get sick and does not die, he needs this, this and that. At the same time, even the moral and cultural needs of a person are taken into account. For example, the basket contains the approach to the cinema or to some exhibition. True, you will have to visit such establishments once a month if you set a goal to fit your budget into the living wage determined by the state.

Like the subsistence minimum, the consumer basket varies depending on the category of citizens: the able-bodied population, pensioners and children. According to our state, pensioners eat the least. It is difficult to say whether this is true or not, but the cost of the consumer basket for them is always calculated lower than for the other two categories of citizens.

From this table it is easy to make a calculation that, for example, you should have enough panties for about 4 months, and 50 grams of fish and other seafood on your table per day. These calculations are made for the able-bodied population (that is, for a full-fledged working man), for children and pensioners, of course, these figures will be lower.

Table of values ​​for the II quarter of 2016. All amounts are in rubles.

Many of our fellow citizens are wondering which one. Let's try to understand this issue in more detail.

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

What it is?

The living wage in our country involves determining the real value of the so-called conditional consumer basket. In other words, this is the amount of money a person needs every month to satisfy his most minimal needs in terms of nutrition and provision. necessary conditions for survival.

The concept of "living wage" is mainly of a statistical nature and serves to reveal the standard of living and income of the population. Thus, there are two main groups of people - the poor and the non-poor. The first category includes citizens whose monthly income falls below the minimum subsistence level. The second category of the population is citizens whose income exceeds the amount established as a "living wage".

in Moscow

If we consider the issue from the point of view of the realities of life of Russian citizens, in particular people living in the capital, then the amount recognized by the state as a “living wage” is not enough for a Muscovite to be able to provide himself with essential goods. Most residents of our main metropolis, according to numerous social surveys, argue that this amount is sorely lacking to live on them for one calendar month.

In addition, it is believed that in Moscow it is greatly underestimated.

Nevertheless, the state has clearly defined the list of needs that a Russian citizen experiences, and the satisfaction of which is the main condition for his survival. The so-called minimum consumer basket is “filled” with these needs.

Composition of the minimum consumer basket

IN this concept conditionally includes two categories of the simplest needs of the citizens of Moscow per person. The first category includes the necessary food, and the second - non-food products, as well as services. A table on the cost of living in Moscow will be presented below.

The number and volume of these needs for the able-bodied 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, butter, etc.) - 12 kg;
• tea, coffee, spices, salt, etc. - 5.5 kg.

Non-food group

What else influences minimum size living wage in Moscow? Non-food basket. It contains, as a rule, clothing, household and personal hygiene items, as well as different kind services, including utilities. This group includes:

• outerwear - 3 pieces for 7.5 years;
• light outerwear - 7 pieces for 4.5 years;
• underwear - 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;
• writing instruments - 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;
• sanitary and personal hygiene items, as well as medicines - 11% of sum of money, which is spent monthly on non-food items.

In Moscow, in addition to food and non-food items, it also includes some services. In accordance with the legislation and the size of the "living wage" in the capital, one adult able-bodied person annually needs:

• providing living space - 18 square meters;
• residential heating - 6.9 Gcal;
• water (both cold and hot, including water disposal) - 285.5 liters per day;
• electricity - 50 kWh;
• gas supply - 11 cubic meters (monthly);
• use vehicles- 628 times a year;
• services of culture, sports, etc. - is 5% of the monthly amount provided for the payment of services;
• other services - 16% of the monthly amount used to pay for services.

What is the minimum living wage in Moscow, not every resident of the capital knows.

Secondary Benefits

In accordance with the law and regulations approved specifically for residents of the capital, the subsistence minimum is also used to calculate certain social benefits for citizens, which are provided 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 the birth rate in the country);
• monthly cash aid for people who find themselves in a difficult life situation, a one-time payment in the form of compensation for the reimbursement of expenses related to the adoption of children;
• monthly child allowance;
• utility bill subsidies;
• monthly payments single mothers in the form of compensation in connection with the increase in the cost of living.

The size of these benefits can also affect the subsistence level in Moscow.

The goals of establishing a living wage

In addition to the above payments, the subsistence minimum is also taken into account when calculating social scholarships for students from low-income families, when registering under improvement programs living conditions, calculation of subsidies for payment for services for the use of residential premises, provision of free legal assistance, etc.

The value of the minimum cash payment for life is also calculated for different categories population, which includes:

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

For each of them in the capital there is a separate living wage, the value of which is determined in accordance with the special needs of citizens belonging to 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 for planning the implementation of social support for those in need.

Features of calculating the minimum subsistence level in Moscow

This amount is calculated in accordance with the results of the previous quarter and is based on special data received government bodies statistics for the city of Moscow on the level of prices for food products, as well as non-food items necessary for citizens.

The subsistence minimum is determined quarterly by a government decree, and comes into force from the moment it is published in official sources.

The value for different categories of Muscovites

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

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

For the latter, the subsistence minimum is minimal, while it is maximum for the working population of the city of Moscow.

The cost of a conditional consumer basket in the capital is slightly higher than in other regions of Russia. This is due to the fact that life in this city is much more expensive.

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