Families in the North Caucasus Federal District turned out to be the poorest

The subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District are on the very last lines in the ranking of regions of the Russian Federation in terms of family well-being. In the RIA Novosti study, Kabardino-Balkaria occupies the last place.

In eight Russian regions, a family with two children with an average income after minimal expenses has less than 10,000 rubles in free disposal. But if in Dagestan, after all the most necessary expenses, 7.5 thousand rubles remain, then in the KBR the balance is negative - minus 7.3 thousand rubles. Karachay-Cherkessia (5.8 thousand rubles), Chechnya (2 thousand rubles), Ingushetia (-203 rubles) also turned out to be outsiders of the rating with a balance of less than 10 thousand rubles.

The rating was calculated on the potential balance of funds for a family with two working people who receive an average salary for the region, after minimal expenses. Rosstat data were taken as a basis.
