Abstract
The paper is devoted to developing a set of techniques for assessing the quality of life in regions. The authors’ proposed system of indicators is not universal, but it does help to demonstrate the significance of social partnership at the regional level. The study’s findings help to come to the conclusion that a crucial objective is to cultivate in people the knowledge about human rights and decent work, their own rights and ways to protect them, social protection. The authors prove that assessments of quality of life depend on both a region’s economic characteristics and its residents’ overall satisfaction with life, work, healthcare, and environmental conditions. The authors’ study has revealed that in the climate of social and economic instability the process of improving people’s quality of life requires substantial modernization, primarily in the area of determining specific directions and ways of diversifying the key sources of moral satisfaction and income of the population.
Highlights
In the conditions of reform of the national economy, the issue of increasing people’s quality of life and remediating high levels of regional differentiation is becoming increasingly important for the Russian Federation
The concept of quality of life may incorporate more aspects that are reflected in a collection of characteristics shaping the environment and the system of ensuring the maintenance of human life: the quality of the population; people’s standard of living; the quality of the social environment; the quality of the environment
In respect to countries with a large territory and imbalance across regions, for instance, the Russian Federation, it may help to employ regional assessments of people’s quality of life, which may require the use of additional indicators and development of an integrated system of indicators
Summary
In the conditions of reform of the national economy, the issue of increasing people’s quality of life and remediating high levels of regional differentiation is becoming increasingly important for the Russian Federation. Insufficient attention to the characteristics of a region’s development may have irreversible negative political, economic, and social consequences In this context, the central issue and ultimate objective of social and economic development in a country and its regions are improving people’s quality of life. People’s quality of life is one of the more generalized indicators of a nation’s development level and a key factor in its economic growth. It, concurrently, makes it possible to ensure positive effects in national economic development and has become a crucial condition for national security and economic competitiveness. In the conditions of significant regional differentiation, there is a need to analyze economic development in regions, identify the factors that have a negative effect on people’s quality of life, especially those behind quality-of-life differentiation between urban and rural residents, establish clear strategic targets for the implementation of a model for the nation’s social and economic development, enhance the mechanism for regulating social processes, and increase the social responsibility of the government, businesses, and residents, which should help determine some of the key areas for regions’ development and improve people’s quality of life
