Abstract
The article is dedicated to the analysis of the regional programs as an instrument of diminishment of poverty level in the regions of Russia. On the basis of the examination of 14 regional programs, in accordance with the methodology, developed by VNII of Labour, it was found that the goals of all regional programs are aimed at a steady increase in the income of citizens and a decrease in the proportion of the population with incomes below the subsistence level. Despite the existing variability of formulations, according to the semantic load, the tasks of all regional programs can be combined into four blocks: increase in the level of income of citizens and an excess of the growth rate of income of citizens, including average wages, over the rate of growth of inflation; development of a system of social assistance to citizens in need; development of the social contract system; organization of social adaptation of low-income citizens.

Despite the existing variability of formulations, according to the semantic load, the tasks of all regional programs can be combined into four blocks: increase in the level of income of citizens and an excess of the growth rate of income of citizens, including average wages, over the rate of growth of inflation; development of a system of social assistance to citizens in need; development of the social contract system; organization of social adaptation of low-income citizens
As the result of the analysis of regional programs, it was found that the tasks for all regional programs, the implementation timeframes of which correspond to the terms of 20202030, correspond to the goals set, contribute to the achievement of the expected results in building an effective system for removing citizens from a difficult life situation by ensuring sustainable growth of real cash income, improving the targeting of the provision of social support measures, promoting employment
Summary
Poverty is one of the important problems of the contemporary world. The basic definition of poverty is that the poor cannot meet basic life needs. In the Russian Federation, the definition of poverty is used, when the poor people are defined as persons with an income below the subsistence minimum level. This leads to a situation where a significant proportion of families with income slightly above the subsistence level cannot receive social support despite the fact that their standard of living does not differ from the citizens, officially recognized as poor. In foreign countries, there are several methods for determining the level of poverty They can be divided into two large groups – by absolute and relative boundaries. An individual whose income is less than this share is considered poor
