Mechanisms for implementing strategic priorities for increasing life expectancy[Механизмы Реализации Стратегических Приоритетов Увеличения Ожидаемой Продолжительности Жизни]

Introduction. The article traces the relationship between the dynamics of life expectancy and measures to increase it in the field of healthcare, as well as between life expectancy dynamics and average per capita income, as one of the important economic indicators. The novelty of the approaches lies in the disclosure of the complex influence of social and medical factors on the growth of life expectancy in Russia. Objects and research methods. The object of the research is life expectancy in Russia and its determinants. The article uses the methodology of strategizing, justified by a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Economics, Professor V.L.Kvint. Results and its discussion. The above analysis of the dynamics of life expectancy among a number of countries, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic, revealed a number of features. It is noted that with a reduction in life expectancy during the COVID-19 pandemic, per capita incomes continued to grow. The key directions ensuring life expectancy growth in Russia are described. The implemented measures to reduce mortality in the field of health care are stated to provide an increase in life expectancy. A direct dependence of the dynamics of life expectancy on the average per capita income dynamics in the period 2013-2019 is revealed. In 2020-2021, the negative impact of the pandemic had an impact on the decline in life expectancy in Russia and a number of other countries, despite the growth in real disposable income. Identification of the share of the medical component in the structure of factors influencing the state of human health from 10 to 20% allows us to conclude that living conditions, as well as socio-economic factors that make up more than 50%, must be taken into account in strategic planning and forecasting the development of regions. Conclusion. The research showed the comprehensive nature of the task to increase life expectancy as one of the key priorities of Russia's modern economic policy, and made it possible to determine the priority areas of policy aimed at increasing life expectancy.
