Pensioning age as a regulator of the state pension obligations

Key words: pensioners, life expectancy, pensioning age, demography, insurance pension.

Abstract. Social spending (on pension provision, health care, education, social assistance, etc.) makes up a quarter of the budget expenditures, and the main place is given to pension obligations. Therefore, pensioning age becomes actually one of the budget-forming parameters in the process of strategic planning and forecasting in our country. Under the conditions of the aggravating systemic fiscal crisis, the most socially important issue of raising the pensioning age is more and more actively discussed as the essential instrument for overcoming the ‘fiscal crisis’ and the cornerstone of longstanding stability of the state pension system, thus puting to the background dollar rate, oil price, and other important macroeconomic parameters. The article analyses the consequences of raising the pensioning age for further development of the national pension system, examines the impact of this measure on budget savings, and provides reasonable actuarial calculations of measures for stabilization of the financial condition of the pension system in the long term.

Social status of the disabled: the problem of loneliness

Key words: disability, loneliness, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, sociological data.

Abstract. Russia’s ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities serves as a starting point of the research presented in this article. According to the Convention principles, the authors define disabled persons not as recipients of relevant pensions only, but as persons experiencing serious limitations in their daily and social life. The article addresses the problem of loneliness, revealing vulnerability of the social position of the disabled. On the basis of the Census data and the outcomes of a sample survey of the disabled the authors show a high prevalence of their living alone and lack of social ties. These and other factors of their feeling lonely are estimated by logistic regression model. The authors come to a conclusion that loneliness affects respondents’ assessment of their own health, thereby increasing the risk of experiencing difficulties in daily activities.

Gender attitudes and domestic violence in young families: the case of Karelia

Key words: domestic violence, young families, distribution of household responsibilities, economic dependence, victims and causes of violence, punishment of children, knowledge of laws, evaluation of institutions countering violence, consequences of violence.

Abstract. This article is a sequel to publication of the results of the sociological survey The Issue of Forming New Models of Family Relationships in the North-West Russia (Karelia) held in November 2014 by the Institute of Socio-Economic Studies of Population RAS and the Institute of Economics of the Karelian Research Center RAS. The first results presented in the journal Population No 1, 2016 provided data on gender attitudes, role behavior and conflicts between spouses in households consisting of persons aged 18-64. This article is focused on young families (with one of the spouses aged under 35) and aimed at identifying the difference between the gender attitudes and relationships of the younger and the older generation. Comparison of a series of indicators shows changes in women’s attitude to their professional career, scale of their economic dependence, trends in distribution of domestic labour. The article examines recurrence of the basic forms of domestic violence and views of the generations about punishment of children. It shows poor knowledge of legislations and lack of trust in institutional structures responsible for domestic violence prevention. In the conclusion there is a detailed analysis of the violence consequences and evaluation of the practical relevance of research on this issue.

Dynamics of monetary incomes of population in municipal units

Key words: per capita money income, structure, differentiation, socio-demographic structure of households.

Abstract. The article presents dynamics in the levels, structure and differentiation of the population money income in the city of Taganrog. The information base was formed on the data from sample household surveys of city residents carried out in 2000 and 2014. Socio-economic and demographic factors impacting the dynamics of population income are given a close consideration. The analysis was performed by groups with different per capita income levels. There were identified five groups of households — from poor (with family income below the subsistence minimum) to relatively well-off (with family income above 4 subsistence minimums). There is also shown the difference in the levels of per capita money income of families of different demographic types and families’ self-assessment of their well-being.

Strategies for overcoming poverty in families with children

Key words: difficult life situation, strategies for overcoming poverty, quality of life, living standards, families with children.

Abstract. Families with minor children present a significant and at the same time vulnerable group of population due to high dependency ratio. In case of difficult situation they make efforts to get out of it and to raise the level and quality of life. Among the most common proactive strategies for overcoming poverty are: search of additional income sources and territorial mobility. The strategies of a reactive character are: partial engagement in subsistence farming, conversion of family material resources, as well as financial support from external sources (mainly from relatives and friends, and rarely from governmental and civic organizations).

School and vocational education in a typical Russian city in a typical Russian city

Key words: school education, primary and secondary vocational education, availability, quality.

Abstract. The article presents the data characterizing the situation in school education and vocational training in a typical Russian city. It exposes growth in the share of payable services at school: payment for additional education services is more and more often added to traditional expenses on school needs in the same school. Since almost half households with school children identify themselves as having income below the average, this trend reinforces the inequality in the sphere of education. It shows that students of technical schools and colleges assess the quality of education as acceptable in general, but the school enrolment is estimated by them as not high, that is indicative of a small demand for this level of education on the part of motivated and capable young people. The latter is due to the difficult situation in the real economy branches that does not allow industrial enterprises to offer a competitive work remuneration to vocational school graduates.
