THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE NORTH IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARCTIC (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ARCTIC ZONE OF YAKUTIA) Р Р Ноговицын, Т.С. СОФРОНОВА, Evgeniya Potravnaya Arktika Ekologia I Ekonomika, 2024 The article provides an assessment of the quality of life of the indigenous peoples of the North in the conditions of industrial development of the Arctic, based on the interrelation of indicators of economic, social and environmental well-being of the population. To assess the economic component of the quality of life of the population in the Arctic territories, the authors use the indicators of income levels, the revenue potential of the municipal budget and the dynamics of population change. They identify factors influencing the poverty level of the population of the Arctic regions. It has been established that in the Arctic regions of Yakutia, where mining projects are being implemented, there is a positive trend in income and an improvement in the quality of life of people. The study results of the can be used to substantiate projects for industrial development of the Arctic, taking into account their impact on improving the quality of life, as well as to analyse the degree to which social and economic indicators of the well-being of the population are achieved.
Assessment of the Budgetary Security of the Arctic Regions in Order to Equalize Incomes and Improve the Welfare of the Population R. R. Nogovitsyn, T. S. Sofronova, E. V. Potravnaya Studies on Russian Economic Development, 2023 Abstract— The article deals with the issues of assessing the budgetary security of the Arctic regions in order to equalize incomes and improve the welfare of the population. The analysis of objective and subjective factors influencing the spatial differentiation of the Arctic regions in the framework of the ongoing state policy to equalize the budgetary provision has been carried out. A comparative analysis and assessment of the impact of indicators of the level of poverty and average monthly wages when calculating the index of budget expenditures in the context of groups of Arctic regions was fulfilled. Based on the Budget Equalization Methodology, taking into account the innovations introduced since 2023, an assessment of the change in the index of budget expenditures in the Arctic regions is made. A tendency to change approaches in the state policy of equalizing the budgetary provision of the Arctic regions in favor of subjective factors of spatial differentiation, taking into account the financial and economic conditions, the prevailing disproportions in the socio-economic development of the regions, the heterogeneity of budget obligations and budget financing, has been revealed. Taking into account the need for the impact of the industrial development of the Arctic on improving the quality of life of the peoples of the North and saving people, it is proposed to strengthen the involvement of mining companies in solving the socio-economic problems of developing the Arctic territories and supporting the local population based on the social investment of such companies in their areas of activity.
THE ARCTIC FUND: OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENHANCING TAX INCOME GENERATION Roman R. Nogovitsyn, , Tatiana S. Sofronova, Alexey V. Novikov, , and Sever I Rynok Formirovanie Ekonomiceskogo Poradka, 2023 This study was conducted in order to develop methodological approaches to the generation of financial resources for the Arctic Zone Development Fund of the Russian Federation (Arctic Fund). The object of the study is the Arctic Fund, established by the Government of the Russian Federation in December 2022. The sources of funding are the subject of the study. The relevance of this research stems from the unique characteristics of the Arctic territories, where the financial base for development relies on the social and environmental responsibility of major taxpayers. The study builds upon data from the Federal Tax Service, the Federal Treasury, the Federal Agency for Mineral Resources, and the Torgi federal information system covering the period from 2011 to 2021. The article presents an analysis of the fund's existing sources, as identified by the Government, and proposes additional sources. Based on an analysis of tax revenue data, the study reveals insufficient financing from taxes paid by Arctic residents. Additionally, by employing comparison and grouping methods for data on Arctic deposits, it was found that the final one-time payments for these deposits consistently exceed the planned and initial payments. However, these payments were incorporated into the federal budget without specific allocation. The study formulates recommendations that suggest utilizing funds obtained from the sale of resource use rights as additional sources, ensuring targeted allocation of one-time payments associated with Arctic deposits. The study also proposes the creation of compensation funds for the accumulation of deductions from mining businesses to address losses incurred by indigenous peoples of the North. These funds could complement the Arctic Fund in accumulating budgetary resources. The practical significance of this study lies in its potential to inform the search for reasonable and appropriate sources of financing for the activities of the Arctic Fund.
