Entrepreneurial income has fallen to a minimum since 1992

In the year of the elections, the government set fire to the population and poured dissatisfaction with the pension reform with money: the share of social transfers last year updated the post -Soviet maximum, and entrepreneurial income - at least.

Details. Vedomosti analyzed statistics on the income of the population over the past year. It turned out that the population received a fifth of income in the year of the elections directly from the state, but this did not help either: in five years since 2013, the incomes of the population have not reached the pre -crisis level. According to the RANEPA, last year they were lower by 10.8%, pensions - by 5.2%.

• The share of social benefits increased (excluding a one -time payment of pensioners) in 2018 to the maximum 19.4%maximum for the post -Soviet period, and income from entrepreneurial activity, on the contrary, fell to the minimum since 1992 7.5%. Although the last figure should be treated with skepticism due to a large share of self-employed in the gray zone, the disproportion is evident.
• The real incomes of the population in 2018 either grew up, or fell - depending on how to count. According to the updated assessment of Rosstat, in 2018 they increased by 0.1% - but this is excluding the payment of 5 thousand rubles to pensioners in January 2017. If you count with her, income fell by 0.2%.
• In this state of affairs, people have less opportunity to postpone people: last year, Russians spent 77% of their income - this is a maximum of 2008, and postponed - only 5.6%. Loans to the population over a year have increased by 34.9%, but consumption is almost not growing.

• Gratuitous transfers in the income of the regions grew by about 17.7%last year, says economist Natalya Zubarevich: “I don’t remember such an unprecedented generosity since 2008.” The share of social benefits this year can increase to 19.6%, Igor Polyakov from the Tsmakpa predicts Vedomosti. With such a system of distribution of money, the “country of dependents and the country of lobbyists - who has some resource”, commented by Zubarevich comments.

What am I to me?

The last time real incomes of the population grew in 2013 (+4.0%)-such a long continuous fall that we saw after, was not even in the 1990s. This year the government is waiting for growth, the economists are still confident in a new fall.
