What is the living wage in Crimea

Crimea is a well-known resort area with several cities that are especially attractive for tourists. Access to two seas unique nature and temperate climate, close to semi-tropical in coastal areas, as well as access to a wide variety of therapeutic effects makes the peninsula not only an attractive place for recreation, but also a universal health resource for those interested in useful rest of people.

The beauties of landscapes in the autonomous republic will not leave anyone indifferent: here you can find flowering plains, meadows, and mountain scenery, and the boundless blue of the seas. In addition, a variety of outlandish flora and unique fauna will impress potential naturalists. All this and much more make Crimea attractive not only for compatriots, but also for guests from other countries.

In addition to medicinal sources, healing mud, algae and clean air a large number of historical and architectural monuments will not leave indifferent even the most skeptical tourists.

Just look how many attractions a small peninsula can provide with unique history and unique identity! We list only the most famous:

  1. The Palace of Count Vorontsov, also known as Alupkinsky, is a unique elegant building for a truly luxurious life, containing about one and a half hundred rooms.
  2. Wonder of architecture medieval style, located on top of a sheer cliff - "Swallow's Nest".
  3. Khan-Saray is the Bakhchisaray Palace, or rather, a whole complex, as they would call it now, including the buildings of the palace, gardens, a mosque and a well-known fountain.
  4. lovers active rest and extreme sports also have something to please - a unique cable car will give you the opportunity to admire the coast from a bird's eye view.
  5. Cave settlements, whose approximate date of appearance is considered to be the 5th-7th century, do not cease to amaze the imagination and mind with their historical and sacred significance.
  6. Beauty of Nikitsky botanical garden amaze with their diversity and originality: the number of representatives flora exceeds 30,000.

Summing up a small line, it is worth saying that Crimea not only has a huge theoretical potential - it skillfully uses the natural and climatic possibilities of its region in many ways. And although today it is considered more resort republic, among the possibilities of the region are:

  • access to two seas as an accessibility for the development of navigation and fishing;
  • the use of subsoil and surface resources for the creation of therapeutic agents and preparations;
  • convenient geographical location for contacts with the outside world (especially under the condition of developing a node for land transport).

No list, of course, can convey the potential and real opportunities of this peninsula. At the same time, having joined Russia in 2014, the corresponding different kinds payments in the region also became federal. Let's explore these issues further.

Living wage in Crimea

The calculation of the subsistence minimum in the republic takes into account the pricing policy and the main consumption needs of the citizens of the peninsula. For clarity, we propose to compare the data with the average Russian indicators. The amount of payments in the country is presented for the 1st quarter of the current year, while the amount of benefits in Crimea is for the second.

As you can see, the sums for each social category not very different. At the same time, the prices for products, services and the goods acquired for life may differ. Special attention given to such a stratum of the population as children - their living wage almost on a par with a working citizen. This is due to the peculiarities of providing them with the necessary goods, services and conditions that can be influenced by money.

To trace the dynamics, one can also compare the indicators of payments of the subsistence minimum for various categories of society for the different last quarter of the past and the first quarter. current years. So, what is the minimum amount of payments received by Crimeans in the 4th and 1st quarters of 2015-2016:

  1. The minimum income per capita increased by 358 rubles.
  2. For the youngest representatives of society, the increase amounted to 561 rubles.
  3. Retired people were paid more by 293 units of the national currency.
  4. For a representative of the working class, the difference was 376 rubles.

It is obvious that the dynamics can be traced positive. Although the increase in minimum payments can hardly be called high, the amounts themselves are qualitatively different from many regions for the better.

Social support programs for Crimeans

Today, the regional government of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is implementing the federal social program through various subprograms. The purpose of these activities is to improve the standard of living and living conditions of the inhabitants of the peninsula.

Various preferential measures and compensations are provided for the following categories of citizens:

  • pensioners and elderly people;
  • WWII veterans and home front workers;
  • disabled people various groups and categories;
  • veterans and heroes of labor activity;
  • rural area specialists;
  • large families;
  • victims of radiation accidents/catastrophes.

A number of subsidies are provided for a wide range of socially unprotected / weakly protected categories. Among other things, a program to support young families and provide them with their own housing is being actively implemented.

Also the Ministry of Labor and social protection Crimea, under the jurisdiction and responsibility of which is the sphere of social policy of the peninsula, holds a number of competitions. Among them, both national and regional:

  • labor protection competitions;
  • among organizations of the highest social efficiency;
  • determining the best professional in their field;
  • tender for the provision of subsidies to non-profit organizations of social orientation;
  • other competitions.

It can be said that, in general, social work in the region is carried out at a sufficient level, although it has a number of features due to the transitional state of state institutions in the organizational and legal aspect, due to the transfer of citizenship of the territory from one country to another.

So, in this article, we reviewed and compared the amount of the subsistence minimum in the territory of Crimea, and also identified the main milestones in the implementation of social policy in the region. Recall that the revision and recalculation of the subsistence minimum / food basket occurs once a quarter.

Since 2016, residents of Crimea began to receive pensions of all types, and additional payments that exist on the territory of the Russian Federation. The transitional moment associated with the withdrawal of Crimea under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, according to the free expression of will at the 2014 Referendum, ended in December 2015. -FZ dated July 21, 2014. As in all regions of the Russian Federation, the minimum pension in Crimea will be calculated by the regional authorities, and they will also pay the difference to those citizens whose payments will be below the minimum level.

Raising the minimum pension in the peninsula

The amount of minimum payments is determined taking into account the subsistence minimum (PM), which varies depending on who it is calculated for: able-bodied citizens, children or pensioners. The increase, which will be carried out from January 1, 2018, as in every year, is calculated based on the pensioner's subsistence minimum (PMP). If the payments received in old age are less than the subsistence level determined by the state, taking into account the goods that are vital for a pensioner (less than the minimum pension), he receives an allowance from the federal or regional authorities.

The minimum pension in Crimea, as well as throughout the Russian Federation, is calculated taking into account the regional factor. The final amount of the minimum pension (consumer basket of a pensioner) is set by the authorities of the region.

The minimum pension in Crimea is 8,530 rubles

From January 1, 2018, according to the draft law adopted in Crimea in the autumn of 2017 and signed by the head of Crimea S. Aksenov, and subsequently approved in the first reading by the State Council of the Republic of Crimea at the next meeting, the minimum regional pension is 8,530 rubles.

The amount of the increase will be calculated on a general basis, as for all citizens of the Russian Federation. Vladimir Konstantinov, Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, after the adoption of the law on the minimum pension, told reporters that the consumer basket is set for a specific region, and the amount for the peninsula was calculated taking into account local specifics.

He noted that as of October 1, 2017, 80,025 pensioners of the Republic receive the social federal supplement provided for by law, so that the size of the minimum pension is not less than the amount stipulated by the federal budget. In the Russian Federation, the minimum wage is determined in the amount of 4823.35 rubles.


Head of Crimea S. Aksenov

Every year, according to Federal Law No. 134, representatives of local regional authorities are required to determine the cost of the consumer basket (the size of the minimum regional pension), and transfer this data to the Federal Government to determine the amount of total monthly supplements made by the authorities of the country.

Surcharges are made not only by state authorities, but also by municipal authorities (in Moscow and St. Petersburg), because the cost of the minimum consumer basket for residents of these cities is much higher than in the regions. Assistance is also paid to people living in harsh climatic conditions. The minimum pension in Crimea, determined by the law adopted in the first reading, is 8,530 rubles, while the average MP in Russia is 4,823.35 rubles. This means that under federal law, pensioners who do not have enough to live up to the subsistence level established throughout the country will receive a state social supplement.

Considering that approximately 1/3 of those living on the peninsula are pensioners, the amount that will be paid to Crimean pensioners from January 1, 2018 to ensure an increase from the minimum pension established by the regional authorities to the national level of MP, will come out even monthly quite impressive.


Pension in Crimea

Increasing pensions for residents of Crimea

Indexation of pensions for residents of the Crimea will be carried out on the basis of the RF regulations. The inflation rate last year turned out to be lower than the level predicted earlier and included in the Federal budget. Thus, the Government of the Russian Federation got the opportunity not to wait for the data provided by Rosstat and ordered to pay the indexation 1 month earlier than usual and to make it in January.

This applies to labor pensions. Social payments will be indexed from April 1, and by 4.1%, despite the fact that the inflation rate in 2017 was significantly lower. After April, the duty will be 5240.65 rubles.


Non-working pensioners will have their pensions indexed from April 1

The main news on Crimea and the increase in pensions in 2018 can be summarized as follows:

  • with minor nuances, pensions are paid to Crimeans on an equal basis with all citizens of the Russian Federation;
  • indexation is carried out at the national level;
  • to the living wage set public authorities Crimea, a federal surcharge will be made;
  • residents of Crimea and Sevastopol will be paid allowances, in accordance with Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation No. 363 and 887 in the form of additional material support for participants and disabled veterans of the Second World War, residents besieged Leningrad, and some other categories of federal beneficiaries in an individual amount.

Separately, for residents of Crimea, there is no increase in pensions, but at the national level they will receive a small increase due to indexation. It is made only for non-working pensioners, but for working pensioners, the salary will remain in full starting from 2016. Becoming citizens of the Russian Federation, residents Crimean Republic received the right to use all types of pension supplements and all types of accruals (with the exception of some nuances) they receive, like other citizens of the country, in full.
