The Report paints a "disturbing picture" of the current state of human development in Russia.
Year: 1995 |

The Report concentrates on the economic trends experienced in Russia during the transition and the substantial challenges faced by the Government to satisfy people’s expectations and to alleviate suffering. Massive "hyper-stagflation" and its economic and social consequences are described, both to the economy as a whole, as well as to the vast majority of citizens, whose standards of living have deteriorated dramatically during the transition. The various dimensions of poverty and income inequality are explored as well as their impact on the poor, pensioners, the unemployed, migrants and refugees. The corresponding impact on demographic indicators are described, which includes a fall in the population, a rise in mortality and suicide, a rise in divorce, and a rise in one parent families etc. On a more hopeful note, it is estimated that the economic decline is now slowing, and that renewed growth is expected to start in 1998, as the impact of the on-going structural reforms comes to be felt.

The main theme of the Russian Federation's fourth NHDR is regional and social inequality regarding human development. For the first time the report contains a chapter on the state of the environment, describes the differences in social conditions between various types of settlements and analyses the role of territorial factors in sustaining and furthering human development. The report presents a detailed analysis of the main trends in human development in Russia, followed by an in-depth study of the regional differences in the conditions for human development. Particular attention is paid to the "horizontal" and "vertical" fragmentation apparent in Russian society in the 1990s and an assessment is made of the factors and means of overcoming these inequalities. In particular, the report discusses differing conceptions of the role and function of the state in resolving socioeconomic problems. The central message of the report is that government policy must be people-oriented, particularly in times of crisis such as now, when the country is facing growing poverty, unequal income distribution and social exclusion.

The central theme of the 2001 Report is human development across the generations. This approach allows an assessment of the consequences of fifteen years of transition, considering different strata of the population and their adaptation to the new socio-economic situation. It also outlines the possibilities of future human development in Russia. This report places a special emphasis on the younger generation, its economic and social status, values and priorities. As in previous years the report contains a comparative analysis of the conditions in the Russian regions, most of which remain terra incognita for the rest of the world, and a human development index for most of regions of the Federation. The report focuses on market reforms in post-Soviet Russia that have led to the current income inequalities between the generations, with the changes very much favouring the young. The report is relatively reassuring in some key areas, particularly those focusing on the young. Year: 2001 |

This year's Report addresses the issue of Russia's path "Towards a Knowledge-based Society". It highlights the role of knowledge in economics and social life, the need for a dramatic transformation of economic and social systems. Russia's economy has to effect the transition from reliance on natural resources to reliance on the most powerful renewable resource known to mankind, which is knowledge. Human development is the key factor on this road, which means that people, their educational attainment, cultural heritage, welfare, health, and capacity for free choice, determine national potential.

‘Russia’s Regions: Goals, Challenges, and Achievements’
|
The Report attempts to give a comprehensive survey of regional human development problems and to identify positive socio-economic policies aimed at overcoming them. In a situation, when levels of economic development of different regions are in a range from those of African countries to countries in Central Europe, the Report emphasizes the diversity of regional development priorities and opportunities for changing people’s quality of life. It also describes the most successful regional experiences with state, regional, and municipal programmes that contribute to regional and national attainment of MDGs.

Demography, as much as economic and social progress, is a part of the concept of human development. Long life and health are the basis, which enable extension of human choice, creative life, material prosperity, access to high-quality education and full participation in society. Without them, many opportunities remain unavailable and many ambitions for a better life unattainable. The Report analyses the main aspects of the major demographic challenges and offers recommendations for social and economic reforms, which could help reduce mortality rates, improve the present birth rate, regulate and manage migration flows, and at the same time, alleviate adverse consequences of demographic trends, which cannot be adjusted in the nearest future.

The global economic crisis has brought many problems, but it also offers a window of opportunity for Russia to transform its energy sector, which evolved in its present form during the late XX century, into a modern high-tech vanguard for the national economy in the XXI century, with due respect for the environment and human health. Issues, which are the traditional subject matter of human development reports – economic development, income levels, employment, education and health care – are discussed in the context of energy theme. The Report is intended for top managers, political scientists, scientific researchers, teachers and high school students. Year: 2009 |

Looking into the Future

The Report reworked and adapted the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) to make them applicable to Russia, and assessed human development in Russia through the prism of the MDGs. Preparation and presentation of the Report was a valuable experience: poverty and health care issues are relevant to every society and it is extremely important not only to help the poorest countries grapple with such issues, but also to learn effective ways of dealing with them at home.
