Surely each of us has ever heard the word "minimum consumer basket" and "living wage."Many people know that these figures are repelled when calculating subsidies and payments.But what is included in the cost of living, and of what constitutes a consumer basket, know not all.
The minimum consumer basket includes not only the food, as it may seem at first glance, but a number of non-food products and services.School-written products, shoes, hats, electricity, transportation, daily necessities, and more - that's what is included in the consumer basket.It regulates the amount of food consumed and the time alone in the children alone in the adult working people, pensioners separately.
For example, it is estimated that the able-bodied person should consume 133.7 kilograms of bread, cereals and pasta a year.The same figure for the child is 84 kg.Besides flour
this list includes potatoes, vegetables and fruit, sweets and sugar, butter and vegetable oil, meat, dairy and seafood, eggs, salt, spices and tea.As you can see, the list is complete and the menu is quite diverse.Another thing is that the number of products is poor.For example, an adult relies only 23 kg of fruit per year - about 600 grams.for 10 days.Or take the same sugar and confectionery.It is believed to 22.2 kg per year, which corresponds to 60 g.a day - two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of sugar and a couple of cookies.Of course, when talking about these figures do not have a decent living.
Roughly the same pattern in the non-food items.Adults of working entitled person from the top 3 things Coat Group (which includes coats, jackets, coats) by 7.6 years.And 5 pairs of tights, stockings or socks a year.
What is included in the cost of living and how it is linked to the consumer basket?In fact, the cost of living - it is the consumer basket, expressed in monetary terms.Somewhere milk costs 30 rubles, somewhere 50. On the basis of real prices for products and services in each region and the output size of the minimum subsistence level.Overall, 33 food items, 85 items of goods and family for personal use and services - is all that is included in the cost of living.
For someone will certainly be a surprise that the largest cost of living not in the capital and St. Petersburg, and in the Chukchi and Nenets Autonomous District and the Kamchatka region.This is due to the high level of prices of the most essential products.Conversely, the lowest - in the southern regions, where lower prices for fruits and vegetables.
What it is important to know what is included in the cost of living and the size of it?Low-income families with a per capita income below that can arrange subsidies for housing, utilities, have the right to receive targeted assistance.Moms in the decree, whose income does not reach this minimum, may receive free meals for the baby, as well as a small financial help from the state.
no secret that part of the cost of living and the payment of utilities, central heating, and utilities.True, according to estimates, one person in a family of 18 square rely.m. The total area of the apartment.Of course, if people live a family of 2-3 people in a studio apartment on each will account for 18 squares, and even less.But the elderly and lonely, living in an apartment on the 35-36 sq.meters have a harder time, since the real cost of utility bills will be significantly higher than calculated.
In general, the amount of the minimum subsistence level determines how much money a person needs for a minimum meet all its needs.
