Abstract

The article discusses social support measures aimed at improvement of the provided social support to families with children, including support to low-income families. The authors analyze the size of benefits provided to different types of families and the number of such measures in different regions of Russia. The types of families analyzed include large families, single-parent families and low-income families with children. The analysis shows that there is a certain common set of regional social benefits available across all regions, as well as diverse region-specific benefits, the size, the purpose and the parameters of which match the diversity of regional socio-demographic circumstances, welfare policies and budgets. Since in Russia the provision of social support benefits is predominantly the responsibility of regional administrations, the number and the size of benefits provided to families with children depend on the financial and economic capacity of the region where they reside. The authors also show that single-parent families in Russia experience higher risks of material deprivation, than large families.
