Assessment of the Quality of Life of the Population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)

Analysis of the quality of life of the population, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and its individual components comparing to other subjects of the Russian Federation reserves the status of a territory with quite contradictory research assessments. Some authors attribute Yakutia to the number of regions with the best positions in terms of the most important indicators of the level and quality of life. On the other hand, they emphasize a high level of inequality and refer to regions with signs of social disadvantage. Currently, various methodological approaches to measuring quality of life based on the integral index are increasingly being used. The article focuses on identifying the dominant trends and prospects for changing the quality of life of the population of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) as a territory that is a part of the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation.
