Identification of the main signs of the limited subsistence level of the able-bodied population as a tool for regulating minimum labour incomes and their Arctic specificity.The Main Provisions of the Article. In the mechanism of regulation of the minimum incomes operating in Russia, the subsistence level of the able-bodied population is intended to justify the minimum wage guaranteed by the state. The main discussions are held around issues revealing the limited living wage of the able-bodied population as a regulator of the minimum income. Its vulnerability comes from the methodology of definition and is manifested both in the norms of consumption, and in the degree to which the commodity sets correspond to contemporary realities. Another, no less important side of the limitation of the subsistence level of the able-bodied population, is related to the method of calculating it, which has been changed since 2013 from normative to normative-statistical. The vector of the regulator's limitations is aimed at reducing the level of minimum income. Regions of the Arctic, located in difficult climatic conditions for living, are significantly different from other Russian regions in terms of consumption characteristics of the population, which are higher for northerners. Therefore, the limited subsistence level of the able-bodied population as an instrument for regulating the minimum income for the Arctic is more significant. In addition, the significance is strengthened by the reduction in the incentive function of the minimum payment for a fee associated with the procedure for calculating northern payments. In the Arctic labour market, this promotes the spread of cheap labour policies, and at the household level, financial difficulties lead to outstanding financial obligations for established payments.Negative consequences affect the level of social sustainability and the level of development of the Arctic zone as well. Against the background of other arctic countries in the world, the Russian Arctic lags behind in this aspect. One of the factors influencing the acceleration of positive changes in the Arctic is the use of the most successful foreign experiences of financial regulation, including the experience of taking into account the economic interests of the family in the policy of income. The work was carried out on the basis of an analysis of normative legal acts, a database of state statistics and publications on the topic of open access research. |
