Living wage in the Sakhalin region. Subsistence minimum in the Sakhalin region Main socio-demographic groups of the population

Sakhalin trade unions have obtained the consent of the authorities to revise in 2016 the current agreement on the minimum wage in the direction of its increase in the event that the subsistence level of the able-bodied population exceeds the minimum wage approved in the region, Sakh.com news agency reports with reference to the Sakhalin Regional Union of Trade Union Organizations.

The draft agreement on the minimum wage in the Sakhalin region for 2016 caused heated discussions among the participants in the meeting of the regional tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations. Sakhalin trade unions, employers and representatives of the authorities argued whether to raise the minimum wage or not during the meeting of the commission and after it.

In July, as a matter of routine, the parties to the social partnership signed an agreement to increase the minimum wage in the Sakhalin Region. Thanks to this, the minimum wage set in our region has become one of the highest in the country. Today, for employees working at enterprises in the southern and central regions of the region, the minimum wage is 15 thousand rubles (before the signing of the agreement it was 13 thousand 250 rubles). For citizens working in the Nogliki and Okhinsky districts - 18 thousand 571 rubles (previously - 16 thousand 405 rubles). For citizens carrying out their activities in the Kuril, Severo-Kuril and Yuzhno-Kuril regions - 20 thousand rubles (until July 1 - 17 thousand 667 rubles).

On November 30, during a meeting of the commission, a decision was to be made on the size of the “minimum salary” for 2016. However, this time the positions of the parties did not coincide. The regional government, represented by the labor agency, arguing that since July 1 the size of the minimum wage in the region has increased significantly, proposed to prolong the current agreement, leaving the existing minimum wage unchanged, and then, in 2016, to act depending on "trends in the economy."

The trade union side insisted on increasing the minimum wage in 2016, taking into account inflation rates and the real subsistence level of the able-bodied population in the region, which will be formed in the first quarter of next year.

As a result of negotiations and consultations, representatives of the authorities, the Sakhalin Regional Union of Trade Union Organizations and regional employers decided to extend the current agreement. At the initiative of the Sakhalin trade unions, a clause was added to the final version of the agreement, according to which the parties to the social partnership undertake, in the event that the subsistence level of the able-bodied population in the Sakhalin Region exceeds the established minimum wage, within a month after the publication of the regional government's resolution approving the subsistence minimum for the corresponding quarter, to negotiate an increase in the minimum wage and conclude a new agreement.

Anatoly Krutchenko, chairman of the Sakhalin Regional Union of Trade Union Organizations: "Despite the complexity of the negotiation process, the trade union side ensured that our position was taken into account. Depending on the growth of the living wage in 2016, the minimum wage will also grow. work was below the subsistence minimum for the able-bodied population of the Sakhalin Oblast. In this regard, "binding" the size of the "minimum wage" to these economic indicators is justified and logical."

The living wage in Russia (hereinafter referred to as PM) is a fixed minimum amount that every citizen of our country must receive in order to meet their material and spiritual needs in the minimum amount. In fact, PM is cost of the minimum consumer basket. This figure is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, based on the economic situation in a certain period of time, on average it is calculated quarterly, for example, for the 2nd quarter of 2020, the cost of living was 10 thousand 329 rubles. (per capita). In order for the size of the PM to change significantly, serious political and economic changes are required. Ideally, the cost of living should rise each year to account for this inflation, but unfortunately this practice does not happen as often as expected.

Modern life requires constant attention to material issues. It is impossible to imagine the full existence of each of us, without focusing on monetary benefits, without which it is already difficult to imagine the life of any person. And no matter how much we would like the world to become at least a little different, yet every day we have to turn our attention to the material world. In our country, there is the concept of a minimum subsistence level, which determines many components of the social structure. Today we will find out what the cost of living will be in 2020 in Russia and how this will affect the life of ordinary citizens.

A bit of theory

The main document that establishes the legal basis for determining and taking it into account when establishing state guarantees for citizens of the Russian Federation to receive minimum cash income and in the implementation of other measures of social protection of citizens of the Russian Federation is Federal Law N 134-FZ "On the subsistence minimum in the Russian Federation" (04/01/2019).

It contains the following concepts:

Consumer basket

This is the minimum set of food products, as well as non-food goods and services, the cost of which is determined in relation to the cost of the minimum set of food products necessary to maintain human health and ensure its vital activity.

Living wage

This is the valuation of the consumer basket, as well as mandatory payments and fees.

The subsistence minimum in the Sakhalin region per capita, for the working population, pensioners and children determined quarterly.

Main socio-demographic groups of the population

This is the working-age population, pensioners, children.

Working-age population- persons aged 16 years and up to the age that gives the right to an old-age insurance pension in accordance with Part 1 of Article 8 of the Federal Law N 400-FZ "On Insurance Pensions" (01/28/2020), with the exception of non-working disabled people of this age.

pensioners- persons who have reached the age that gives the right to an old-age insurance pension in accordance with Part 1 of Article 8 of the Federal Law

The subsistence minimum for pensioners in the Sakhalin Region for 2017 was finally approved in the second reading by the Regional Duma at a meeting on November 3. As already, this amount is set at 12,151 rubles.

Initially, there was no doubt that the bill would be adopted, but the communist deputies did not miss the opportunity during the discussion to once again draw attention to the plight of pensioners.

So, Galina Podoynikova recalled that money comes from the same budget to both pensioners and employees of representative bodies, the executive, and the legislature. However, for some reason the approach is different for everyone. It happens that employees of budgetary bodies are given bonuses in the amount of two or three salaries, and are paid fabulous sums before vacation.

Why is the same approach not used for pensioners? Why only 152 rubles are added to pensioners? the communist asked.

I don't see a connection here, - the deputy answered. - Sets the cost of the consumer basket for pensioners, for employed and non-working. What about payments or non-payments? I would like to remind you that the payment of pensions is not our responsibility, but the responsibility of the federal center. We have voluntarily established an additional payment in order to reach the level of pensions to the subsistence level.

Does that mean we can't change? And why then Moscow can?

To change, you need to make changes to a number of laws. Here you bring it in. You declaratively demand all the time - take it, sit down and analyze what can be done.

All the bills that I tried to introduce - you always vote "no"! exclaimed Galina Podoynikova.

If there is a normal bill, we will vote "for", - Kislitsin assured with restraint.

Earlier, the communist said that she doubted whether she should support the law or not. On the one hand, money is added to the elderly, on the other hand, the amounts look mocking. Now she has categorically stated that she will not vote for the bill.

Against this background, the calm, balanced performance of her party comrade Svetlana Ivanova passed by contrast.

Compared to Moscow, our pensioners living in the Far East experience more problems, she states. - We can influence these processes only with our own budget, through additional payments. I think our pensioners today are simply abandoned by the state. We are talking about people going to the Far East - this should be supported by some kind of decisions. And our budget will continue to be minimized for three years, and even more so we will not have such opportunities. Let's think, maybe it makes sense to support pensioners at least in other ways.
