Construction of factor equivalence scales that consider patterns in the change of human development indicators of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The present study is devoted to the construction of factor equivalence scales that take into account the patterns in the change of human development indicators of the Russian Federation. Based on the statistical data of the 2018 survey on income and expenses of 48.124 households, conducted by the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), a linear multiple regression model was constructed, variance analysis was performed, and a matrix of paired correlation coefficients of the most significant regression variables in the studied statistical data was calculated. The analysis of the calculated family ES for 2018 has shown that to increase the human development index, it is advisable to develop state measures based on the ES to eliminate socio-economic imbalances and uneven development of individual processes of the basic components of human development in the regions of the Russian Federation.
