• Resumen

  • This study is devoted to the evaluation of equivalence scales for the households of Russian Federation based on the data of economic situation Russian monitoring and population health RLMS-HSE and the Household Budget Survey (HBS) for 2013. The author compares equivalence scales, constructed according to the data of economic situation and population health Russian monitoring RLMS-HSE and the Household Budget Survey of the Federal State Statistics Service RF. The calculation of equivalence scales is made by regression estimation of the Engel curve. The values of obtained scale identified on the basis of the regression model for RLMS and HBS are practically the same. This makes it possible to talk about the advisability of HBS data further use for the comparative analysis with the studies based on RLMS data. They proved the necessity of equivalence scale use that take into account the observed economy on scale, which have a lower ranking in comparison with the official scale of the RF Federal Service of State Statistics. There is a comparable saving from combined living for a household with one or more persons of working age when it includes either the children or the persons of retirement age in equal numbers. The author shows that this has significant consequences for the evaluation of certain vulnerable groups of population poverty, which in its turn are of great importance for the implementation of a targeted social policy.
