Abstract

The article continues the analysis of the qualitative characteristics of the population in the Russian regions. Earlier in this aspect, their typology was developed, grouping the regions into ten clusters. The object of study in this work is the regions of central Russia, most of which fell into the typology in two numerous clusters, and two more regions, one by one, separated from their district in other clusters. In the regional context, statistical information is provided for 2018 on four qualitative characteristics of the population and three economic indicators of quality of life, the choice of which was previously justified in the author's publications. The analysis of similarities and differences between the subjects of the Central Federal District and the selected groups on the quality of the population. In this aspect, the main problems of the regions under consideration are the natural population decline and the proportion of patients with alcoholism and drug addiction. The main factor affecting the quality of the population, as our studies have shown, is the quality of life, and especially its material level. It is noted that the regions of the Central Federal District, for the most part, lag behind the national average of per capita incomes. Also, almost a third of the studied regions have higher than average poverty levels. In order to improve the initial typology of the Russian regions, attention is paid to the Yaroslavl region as a subject of the Central Federal District, in the typology referred to the group of regions of the North-West Federal District, and Krasnodar Territory (the subject of the Southern Federal District), which fell into the group of regions of the Central Federal District and the Volga Federal District. The conclusion is made that it is possible to unite all the regions of the Central Federal District into one group, with the exception of Moscow, which, together with St. Petersburg, is singled out in a separate cluster. It also makes sense to expand the group of southern regions to include the Krasnodar Territory.
