What is the cost of living for pensioners per year?

The cost of living in Russia (LM) is a value that is used to assess the standard of living in the country. The quality of life of people also depends on the indicator, because the PM determines the minimum wage and the amount of social payments, subsidies, pensions, and scholarships. The statistical indicator is calculated based on the price of products that make up the consumer basket (CB), food and non-food products, and payment for services. Every year the cost of living in Russia is increased at least to the inflation rate in order to maintain the standard of living of the population.

Determination of the cost of living

There are several methods for determining the minimum standard of living in a country:

Statistical method. The living wage is set at the income level of about 10-20% of the least wealthy people. In this way, the coefficient can be determined in high-income countries.
Sociological method. The indicator is determined in the process of conducting a social survey of citizens. This method is more advisory, since subjective opinions are not supported real facts financial situation of the country's residents, but identify the needs of people.
Resource method. Minimum living wage in Russia, as a rule, it is not determined by this method: based on the real economic capabilities of the country, by how much the state is able to provide for citizens.
Combined method. Combines several methods. According to this method, the cost of food products is calculated according to standards, non-food products - as a percentage of total costs, and public utilities- in fact.
Normative- This is a method of forming a living wage based on the consumer basket. In each country, the PC is formed depending on the needs of the people. This is the most common method for determining the cost of living.
Relative method. It is used in countries with well-developed market economies, where 50% of citizens have an income above the subsistence level, and the remaining 50% have less available funds.

Methods for calculating the cost of living

The basic rules for calculating the cost of living include the following principles:

Cost of PC of the main social groups of citizens.
Planned spending of the population on taxes and services.
The value of PM for the main social groups of citizens and per capita.

Social: wages and productivity (increased wages and pensions raise the bar on the cost of living).
Legal: maintaining human rights in accordance with the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which states that every citizen has the right and should be able to earn a living.
Economic: form the legal and organizational foundations of a market economy, democratization labor relations, ways to replenish budget revenues.

Consumer basket in Russia

A consumer basket is an approximate calculation of food and non-food goods, services for a month or a year, to ensure a minimum level of consumption for one person or for the whole family. A PC is needed to calculate the consumer price index. This calculation is more realistic, since real prices are used. Using the consumer basket, it is possible to analyze the integration of prices in different regions of the country.

The Russian consumer basket includes the following food products (per person per year):

Bread products (bread, pasta, flour, cereals, legumes): 126.5 kg - for workers; 98.2 kg - for pensioners; 77.6 kg - for children under 15 years of age.
