Anna Philippova, Marina Kolosnitsyna National Research University Higher School of Economics Higher School of Economics, Moscow, 2017

2 Child benefit system in Russia
Child benefits provided by the federal budget or Social Security Fund (prenatal and maternity benefits, lump-sum childbirth benefits and child care allowances for children under 1.5 years, etc.). All these benefits are categorical. Most of them are of insurance nature and targeted at families with children under 1.5 years. Child benefits provided by regional budgets (nursing benefits, etc.). Most of these benefits are means-tested. Regional authorities not only choose the recipients according to the families’ incomes, but also set the size of the benefits. photo photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017

5 Methods Model families are common types of families analyzed in the context of their incomes and benefits receipt. Regional child benefit package includes all regular transfers from regional budgets targeted at families with children (except of lump-sum benefits which do not significantly affect family welfare). photo photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017

6 Data The study is based on data from the official web-sites of regional authorities and the Federal State Statistical Service (Rosstat), taking into consideration regional legislation. 4th quarter of 2015 – data on average monthly wages and subsistence minimums – data on child benefits and prices photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017

7 Components of child benefit packages
Child benefits in cash: nursing benefits (for families with children under 16 (18) years monthly payment for the third and subsequent children until the child reaches the age of 3 Child benefits in kind: free medicines free travel cards compensations for kindergarten photo photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017

8 Budget security classification (by Zubarevich and Gorina)
Rich regions: 9 regions with highest level of budget security. They are the leading oil and gas producing regions and federal cities agglomerations. Responsible regions: 12 regions with medium and low level of budget security and transfers (except Sakha Republic). They have low debt level and deficit budgets. Middle regions: 33 regions with medium characteristics. Almost all of these regions have low level of budget security and high debt level. Default: 20 regions with low level of budget security, high level of debt load, medium or high budget deficit. Formally, default of Russian regions is impossible for political reasons. However, actual characteristics of these regions correspond with the situation of default. Heavily subsidized regions: 9 economically weak republics with high level of subsidies. Transfers from the federal budget are main driver of their economies. photo photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017

16 Results Benefits in cash provide a larger share of all packages.
Child benefit packages are positively connected to the level of budget security. Regions of Russia conduct pro-natal policy: regional packages for multi-child families are significantly greater than regional packages for families with one child. Packages for single mothers exceed packages for family couples. All packages are less than 35% of subsistence minimum for children (for packages for families with one child) or 80% of subsistence minimum for children (for packages for multi-child families). photo photo photo Higher School of Economics , Moscow, 2017
