Irina Starodubrovskaya

Working Papers from Gaidar Institute for Economic Policy

Abstract: This papers deals with the issues related to the service provision in the regions which can be called as "Russia's depth", in the provinces which are plagued by depopulation. Outflow of the population, degradation of human capital, ageing of social sphere staff: all these issues require special approach to the organization of social services provision. At the federal level these features often are not taken into consideration which put rigid barriers for the optimization of social expenditure in such territories. This paper is based on field research of such provinces as Tomsk, Vologda, Kostroma regions and Perm Krai.
