The Kemerovo region, or the famous Kuzbass, is a region where almost 2.7 million people live today. The region's gross regional product is 22nd in the country, which looks very respectable. What is the minimum subsistence level established in the Kemerovo region in 2018, what is the minimum wage for a pensioner established by regional law, does the minimum wage in the region correspond to the minimum subsistence level.
At the beginning of February 2018, statistics appeared regarding the cost of living in the Kemerovo region based on the results of the fourth quarter of 2017. For October-December last year, data on the minimum amount necessary for survival for different categories of the population were:
- 8,879 rubles - subsistence minimum per capita,
- 9,391 rubles - for an able-bodied resident,
- 7,162 rubles - for a pensioner,
- 9,306 rubles - for a child.
Let us remind you that the statistics of the fourth quarter, although they are the most recent to date, are interesting solely from the point of view of the dynamics of changes in the amount that a person needs to purchase a minimum set of products and other goods and services that are necessary in order not to simply die of hunger .
From a practical point of view, statistics from the second quarter of each year are of much greater interest.
It is on its basis that social support measures are planned, primarily for any Russian region.
In the second quarter of 2017, the cost of living in the Kemerovo region was:
- 9,427 rubles - subsistence minimum per capita,
- 9,981 rubles - for an able-bodied resident,
- 7,594 rubles - for a pensioner,
- 9,857 rubles - for a child.
It is these figures in 2018 that serve as a guideline as to whether a person with his monthly income should be considered low-income or not.
Living wage for a pensioner in the Kemerovo region for 2018
A special point when we talk about the size of the monthly minimum is always the living wage of a pensioner. Its value in each region is established separately, focusing on statistics, but not following them alone. Regions, whenever possible, set a pensioner’s monthly minimum wage higher than the statistics indicate.
In the Kemerovo region, a pensioner’s monthly pension for 2018 is equal to 8,347 rubles. This is about a thousand higher than the 2017 statistics.
The living wage of a pensioner is truly a special phenomenon. The fact is that the established amount is the minimum pension in the region. In cases where a resident of Kuzbass, like any other region, retires in old age and it turns out that his pension is calculated below the minimum subsistence level of a pensioner, he receives an additional payment from the budget in exactly the amount necessary for his pension to be equal to this meaning. This allows elderly residents of the region to avoid at least complete poverty.
Minimum wage and cost of living in 2018 in Kuzbass
The minimum wage adopted in Kuzbass in 2018 is federal 9,489 rubles plus a regional premium for climatic conditions of 30%. The total minimum wage in the region is 12,336 rubles.
As can be noted, the minimum wage in the Kemerovo region in 2018 exceeds the cost of living for an able-bodied resident of the region. Thus, the region has already coped with the task set for the whole country for the year - to ensure that the minimum wage is equal to or exceeds the subsistence minimum.
As reported by the regional department of labor and employment, the cost of living for all socio-demographic groups of the population of the Kemerovo region for the first quarter of 2019 per capita amounted to 9 thousand 770 rubles, for the working population - 10 thousand 342 rubles, for pensioners – 7 thousand 913 rubles, for children - 10 thousand 172 rubles.
Compared to the previous period (IV quarter of 2018), there was an increase in the cost of living for all socio-demographic groups of the population.
The change in the cost of living was due to an increase in the cost of the minimum set of food products by 335 rubles (8.1%), an increase in the cost of the minimum set of non-food products by 148 rubles (6.5%), an increase in the cost of the minimum set of services by 130 rubles (6.5%). 3%) etc.
In the structure of the cost of living on average per capita, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, the share of the cost of the minimum set of food products increased by 0.3% and amounted to 45.8% (4 thousand 477 rubles). The share of the cost of the minimum set of non-food products decreased by 0.2% and amounted to 24.7% (2 thousand 415 rubles). The share of the cost of the minimum set of services decreased by 0.1% and amounted to 22.5% (2 thousand 191 rubles).
The costs of mandatory payments and fees in the structure of the cost of living on average per capita remained unchanged and amounted to 7.0% (687 rubles).
The average per capita cost of living in the Kemerovo region is lower than the similar indicator in certain regions of the Siberian Federal District, for example, in the Novosibirsk, Tomsk regions, Krasnoyarsk Territory, as well as the average for the Russian Federation. With uniform approaches to calculating the cost of living, this indicates that in neighboring regions prices for food, goods and tariffs for services are higher than in Kuzbass.
