Sustainable Development Indicators in Benchmarks of Russia's Regional Policy

Abstract

We have considered the problem concerning the substantiation of sustainable development indicators and the improvement of the standard of living of the population in Russian regions. To quantify the standard of living of the population, we have used a common indicator such as the Human Development Index. The authors present an approach to managing the region in the form of optimization problems aimed at improving the standard of living of the region's population by increasing the probability of its classification as a region with a higher standard of living. The optimization problem is solved based on the identified relationship between the standard of living of the region's population and its socioeconomic indicators. © 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
