Abstract

Over the first 4 months of 2013, the population’s real disposable income over the first 4 months of 2013 rose by 5.9% on the corresponding period of 2012, which happened due to an increase in the size of both wages and pensions. The inequality indices on Q1 2013 remained practically the same as in the corresponding period of last year. The poverty indices in 2012 were the lowest of the entire period of 1992–2012.

Keywords: Russian economy, Rossian living standard

JEL Classification: I31
