Ways to Improve the Quality of Life of the Population as a Factor of Human Potential with Limited Financial Resources of the State

The subject of the study is individual elements of the financial mechanism of social support of the population.

The purpose of the work is to establish ways to improve the quality of life of the population as a factor of human potential. The non-identity of the concepts of the level and quality of life of the population is revealed by bringing the indices of their measurement. The indicators of the quality of life assessment, including the human development index and its components, are considered. The role of the quality of life assessment indicator in inter-budgetary relations is demonstrated. The necessity of taking into account the improvement of the human development index and the birth rate in order to allocate additional transfers of funds to the regions that have achieved an improvement in these indicators is substantiated. Low-cost measures to increase the life expectancy of the population are highlighted. First of all, it is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle by changing the taxation of food; more active use of electronic databases of the population to assess the quality of treatment; the impact of lifestyle on its duration. The modern education system is critically comprehended. Alternative less costly and more effective educational models are proposed to improve the quality of human potential. In order to improve the living standards of the poor part of the population, it is proposed to pay more attention at the state and regional levels to family enterprises that do not use the labor of employees, with the provision of tax and registration benefits to them. The expediency of the development of natural forms of assistance to the most disadvantaged segments of the population in return for the allocation of sums of money is proved.

The conclusion is made about the need to reform the modern high-cost system of stimulating fertility and its reorientation to large families (with three or more children).
