“The power of the country is directly related to the size of the population.” Due to the coronavirus, mortality and childlessness are increasing in the world. Will a new demographic hole await Russia?
The living wage is a criterion of need when assigning social benefits, on its basis social benefits are calculated, such as payments to pregnant women, families for children under three, then from three to seven, from eight to 17 years , additional payments to pensions. The size of the minimum wage affects the establishment of the minimum wage and sick leave.
Earlier in November, the head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, Yaroslav Nilov, had already announced that in Russia it was necessary to change the method of calculating the subsistence minimum and raise it to 20 thousand rubles. In Russia, a person is considered poor if his income is less than the subsistence level. In 2021 it is set at 11,653 rubles, in 2022 – at 11,950 rubles.
When will the amendments be considered
The chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Andrei Makarov said that new amendments to increase the living wage and minimum wages will be considered no later than November 24, and the initiatives will be supported by all factions, regardless of political views.

The parliamentarian indicated that this date is the deadline for the adoption of amendments to the second reading of the draft federal budget.
It is quite obvious that immediately after the amendments are received by the State Duma, they will be immediately considered. Maybe at least here the factions will finally stop playing political games and think about the people who sent them to the State Duma

Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov said that the LDPR faction is ready to support the proposals of the President of Russia. He expressed the hope that the necessary resources for their implementation will be found.
The deputy added that the decision to increase the minimum wage was balanced and deliberate, since it was already noted that the level of projected inflation is higher than that used in the formation of the draft federal budget.
Nilov also said that the committee is ready to work out the initiative on the indexation of pensions, since in this case amendments to the pension legislation are required.
If, most importantly, the necessary funds are found, the committee will be able to promptly amend the pension legislation so that on January 1, pensions were indexed not at the level of 5.9 percent, as laid down, but at the level of actual inflation

Russian President Vladimir Putin also reminded of the need to index pensions above the level of actual inflation. Putin stressed that the government has strictly adhered to this rule since 2019, and it would be wrong to retreat from it, given the rise in inflation.
According to Rosstat, inflation accelerated to 8.1 percent as of November 15 in annual terms. Food prices rose the most – by 10.64 compared to the same period in 2020. To contain the rise in prices, the Central Bank on October 22 sharply raised the key rate to 7.5 percent per annum. At the end of 2021, the regulator predicts inflation at 7.4-7.9 percent with a target of 4 percent.
