Population incomes as the most important indicator of state and regional socio-economic policy efficiency
Significant differentiation of incomes of various strata of Russian society is a significant threat to its stability. The article cites data showing significant disproportions in the distribution of income, both between subjects of the Russian Federation and within the framework of certain regional entities. Based on the analysis of statistical data, the failure of efforts of state and regional authorities to solve this problem is substantiated. The conclusion is made about the need to develop and implement special state targeted programs aimed at excluding a sharp stratification of society by the level of material well-being.
