* The cost of living as a whole in the Russian Federation is used to assess the standard of living of the population, the rationale established at the federal level of the minimum wage, as well as to determine the size of scholarships, benefits and other social payments set at the federal level.

In the proposed bill, the volume of consumption provided for in the consumer basket is updated.

Given the need to improve the quality of nutrition, it is proposed to increase the food and biological value of the consumer basket at the expense:

increase compared with the existing norms of consumption of meat and meat products, fish, milk, fruit and berries;

reducing the cost of consumption for bread products (bread, pasta, flour, croup, legumes) and potatoes.

Consumption rate on average per person per year is invited to increase in the following sizes:

meat and meat products - by 22%, including for pensioners - by 39%;

fish and fish products - by 15%, including for children - by 25%;

fresh fruits - by 31%, including for pensioners - by 62%, for children - by 27%;

milk and milk products - by 10%.

The proposed minimal sets of products are an averaged power model balanced by basic edible substances and energy. The energy value of the minimum nutritional set on average per person is 2268 kcal per day (including for working age - 2418 kcal per day, for pensioners - 2000 kcal per day, for children - 2062 kcal per day), which corresponds to the developed professionals In the food area, the norms of physiological needs in food and energy for workers are very light and light physical activity, children and pensioners (Appendix 1).

Considering that the list of non-food products consumed by the population (clothing and shoes, bed linen, consumer goods and economic purposes, essentials and sanitation), as well as the timing of their wear, over the past period, have practically not changed, their minimum set in natural units of measurement included in the consumer basket is maintained in former consumption.

The standards of consumption of housing and communal, household and transportation services provided for in the consumer basket in the proposed version of the consumer basket do not change, since it allows for the minimum needs of the main socio-demographic groups of the population in housing, the organization of life, movement. The growth of tariffs for services is taken into account when calculating the subsistence minimum on the basis of an updated consumer basket.

The minimum set of services included a separate line of the culture service in pursuance of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation of April 3, 2005 N PR-512 on ensuring access of low-income citizens to cultural values.

The updated consumer basket proposed by the bill (in consumer prices of the first quarter of 2005) more than previously operating, per capita per 84 rubles or 3.3%, including for the working-age population - by 72 rubles or on 2.7%, pensioners - per 100 rubles or 4.8%, children - by 117 rubles or 4.4 percent (Appendix 2) *.
