HOUSING CONDITIONS OF PENSIONERS IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS OF RUSSIA: DYNAMICS OF INDICATORS AND SUBJECTIVE ASSESSMENTS

Abstract

The article discusses living conditions as one of the important social aspects related to the well-being and quality of life of the population. In the context of the modern trend of the aging of society, it is important to assess the living conditions of socially vulnerable groups, namely, people of retirement age. The assessment of the living conditions of pensioners is based on Rosstat analytical data and on the results of a representative survey of older people from the Federal State Statistics Service. The article assesses the composition of the population of the Arctic regions by age, analyzes the living conditions of pensioners and the migration mobility of the population over working age. The financial capabilities of pensioners were assessed. The study of the living conditions of pensioners in the Arctic regions allows focusing on the satisfaction of pensioners with their living conditions. It is shown that people of retirement age do not put living conditions among the main problems, and in most regions, they note satisfaction with rather modest living conditions.
