Abstract

The article analyzes the spatial disproportions of the municipalities of Kaluga region from the point of view of social and economic development and impact on population poverty. Subsequently, the estimates obtained were compared with the results of a sociological survey of region residents in terms of assessing the spatial dispersion of poverty and government policy measures. The concentration of poverty within the region makes it possible to identify the economic prerequisites for poverty associated with the heterogeneous development of territories and municipalities. The existing differentiation is based on differences in the level of production, resource, infrastructural, demographic and other development of municipalities, forming specific poverty lines. On the basis of obtained comparisons, conclusions are drawn about the need to develop specific measures of the regional policy aimed at improving the population quality of life due to the formation of dynamic competitive economic complex and high business activity in the region.

The key imperative of the state regional policy aimed at reducing population poverty is to increase targeted support for the poor. In this regard, the issues of quantitative and qualitative assessment of poverty become relevant, since a set of specific selective regional policy measures that ensure a certain level of material well-being of households will depend on its results
