Regions of the Volga Federal District: Assessing the Effectiveness of SocioEconomic Policy Based on the Life Quality of the Population

Purpose of the study. The socio-economic policy of the state is a purposeful activity for the redistribution of resources in order to achieve the well-being of the population. Its purpose is to solve the socio-economic problems of the population in the field of maintaining a decent standard of living, ensuring employment of the population, regulating labor relations, social protection and development of sectors of the social sphere. The purpose of the study is a statistical analysis of the life quality of the population of the Volga Federal District to assess the effectiveness of the ongoing socio-economic policy.

Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the study was the aggregation method, which makes it possible to calculate indicators of advantages: advance, parity and lag behind the Russian average level. The calculation of the integral assessment was carried out without taking into account the weighting coefficients of the life quality components. To assess the life quality of the population, 10 parameters have been identified that affect key areas of social policy: financial situation, labor activity, housing conditions, life safety, public health, education, culture, transport infrastructure, information and communication resources, and the life potential of the population. Each quality of life parameter is characterized by a range of private indexes. The information base of the study is data from the Federal State Statistics Service.

Results. The calculation results confirm the high differentiation of the regions of the Volga Federal District in terms of life quality parameters of the population. Not a single region of the Volga Federal District has been identified with stable behavior of the indicator of advantages. Only two regions of the Volga Federal District have an integral index value greater than one: Nizhny Novgorod region and the Republic of Mari El. For most life quality parameters, these regions are ahead of the Russian average. In other regions of the Volga Federal District, the values of integral indexes are less than one, which indicates a lag behind the Russian average level of various life quality parameters. The region with the lowest integral assessment value is the Republic of Mordovia.
