In coronavirus quarantine in which we live already nearly two months, there is still good news. One of the last in the country in 3 times will increase the minimum size of unemployment benefits. It will make 4.5 thousand rubles, instead of 1.5 thousand present.
of Course, if somewhere from the rostrum to make a speech, that the country, which, like the whole world is experiencing a deep economic crisis, with the ultimate fall in oil prices, authorities three times to raise the minimum unemployment benefits (the maximum is 12130 rubles), this can produce a bombshell.
However, to expect that this amount will give a sharp consumer demand and move the economy forward to new shining heights does not have to.
Refer to the consumer basket, which is set for 2020. It is known that it consists of two groups: food and non-food items. The total cost of food and non-food items, these groups are equal. That is, pacorini – food and pacorini – clothes, shoes, a haircut, the periodic trip to the sauna, leisure in the theater, etc.
You will not believe, but our daily life in circular 156 laid out on the “shelves”. We closed with “home-work-shop” and completely forgot that there was even a trip to a sanatorium (of course, not often), and other little things in life that are available to us for cost-conscious attitude of the consumer basket.
Looking at our magic table-cloth laid, the average citizen on food. Bread, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, cereals, sweets… All 11 positions for a normal diet. Produced according to strict medical standards, in kilograms per capita and in calories.
given the fact that the size of the basket the average for the country is 10842 ruble, food accounts for exactly half – 5421 ruble, no more and no less.
the same amount the citizen need to set aside for non-food products: for example, the purchase of a new pair of shoes, repair Atelier in an old coat, or simply tea with friends at a nearby cafe.
to be fair, that part of non-food products of the state during the period of quarantine to take care of us for the full program, covering all objects that provide services to the population. Hairdressing, catering, cinemas. This is a case when there would be no happiness, Yes the misfortune has helped.
That is the released funds do not keep in the Bank (the ticket to the sanatorium), and to put on the bread. Because the basket the officials cheated us last year, when there was no pandemic and the high growth in food prices. And today all these delights in front of us in full growth.
But 4.5 thousand rubles, the minimum unemployment benefit is almost 1,000 rubles a month less than that provided consumer basket for food!
will Have, as written in the Soviet press about Western taxpayers to tighten their belts. Enough for food, but nothing else can be forgotten like it never happened.
the Market of employment in the current situation for the target companies throw even not hundreds of thousands, and millions of Russians.
According to the Confederation of labour, at the beginning of April, there were 800 thousand unemployed now – 1.6 million In the near future it is expected that the benefits will be 2.5 million is a conservative estimate. Indeed, in the experts ‘ forecasts appear other figures: 6, and even 8 million.
According to the centers of employment rules, many job seekers state support will receive the minimum allowance or something like that.
In a recent speech the Minister of labour of Russia Anton Kotkov the surge in unemployment explained by the fact that there is no splash-no. The army of the unemployed previously were unemployed but were not registered. And now, when the government would raise the minimum benefit amount is tripled, and everything will be pulled on the labor exchange.
not Only explained how to make ends meet by 4.5 thousand rubles.
– of Course, this is not the fight against poverty, – the doctor of Economics Sergey SMIRNOV, and kind support of those who have lost their jobs, were “on the side”. Including registered self-employed people, although they officially no work was lost. The measure is purely circumstantial and, I believe, temporary. During the crisis, the redistribution of available resources in the NWF and other sources. But, for all his modesty, symbolic of this, on 3 thousand roubles a month more is better than 3 thousand rubles less.
– Some more significant measures of support the state can offer? Many economists refer to the return of the pension age to 60 and 55 years…
– This is not forever, but temporarily, for a period of stabilization of the economy. All will depend on how quickly we revived after the pandemic coronavirus.
