Regional Differentiation in Housing and Communal Services: Impact on Economic Security

Summary/Abstract: The article considers the problems of increasing economic security and quality of life, which are the strategic priority of the world community. Authorial methodology for assessing regional differentiation in the housing and communal sector has been developed. It was tested on the example of 17 regions of Russia. The statistical data for 45 years were used. The proposed methodology was first applied to identify links between sectoral indicators, levels of economic security and the quality of life of the population. Comparison of indicators with threshold values allowed to conduct an economic security assessment, identify dangerous trends, identify regions with high, medium and low levels of security. The authors argue that in Russia, considering its size and uneven distribution of resources, the problem of sectoral and regional differentiation is most acute. The high volatility of the development of certain industries significantly affects the quality of life of the population in different regions of one country.
