Poverty Alleviation Strategies in the Russian Arctic Zone Regions
The official approach to the definition of poverty is analyzed and its main problems are shown based on the case study of Russian Arctic regions. In order to identify a comprehensive picture of poverty in the regions, indicators that characterize this phenomenon from monetary viewpoint are compared....

The official approach to the definition of poverty is analyzed and its main problems are shown based on the case study of Russian Arctic regions. In order to identify a comprehensive picture of poverty in the regions, indicators that characterize this phenomenon from monetary viewpoint are compared. The paper proves the need to classify a range of strategies to reduce poverty in the Russian Arctic zone regions. The findings reveal that a sensible poverty reduction strategy should focus both on the quantity of growth (that is, on the achievement of a high growth rate) and on the quality of growth (that is, on who benefits from that growth). We calculated the growth-inequality trade-off indices under the assumption that the per capita income follows a two-parameter lognormal distribution.
