THE PROBLEM OF DIFFERENTIATION IN THE REGIONS OF THE CFD

Abstract

Today, a sufficient part of the country s population is below the poverty line, with monthly incomes not exceeding the established subsistence minimum, which, by the way, does not correspond to modern realities anyway. Despite the implementation in recent years of the task of raising the living wage and bringing it to the minimum wage, these indicators have a rather low value that does not meet the needs of the population. The situation develops in such a way that in the regions of the country the level of wages is formed differentially and is directly dependent on the socio-economic development of the territory. So, in the economic centers of the country, wages are significantly higher than in the periphery and in the outback. During the study, an assessment of the state and differentiation of the level of wages in the regions of the Central Federal District of Russia was carried out, the main trends and their causes were identified. It was found that both the nominal and the real size of the average wage in the country has a steady upward trend, but its rates are not high. So, over the past 5 years, the average salary in Russia has grown by 21.4% and amounted to 51.7 thousand rubles. The assessment in the context of the subjects of the Central Federal District showed the persisting differentiation of the level of wages, which is also due to the economic inequality of the regions. In general, the situation is stable and the leaders in terms of average wages are Moscow, Moscow and Kaluga regions with values of 94.3 thousand rubles, 55.6 thousand rubles. and 41.4 thousand rubles. respectively.
