By the end of 2024, the share of Russians with incomes below the poverty line decreased to 7.2%, which is the lowest value in the history of the Russian Federation. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova with reference to Rosstat data.

gt;- We are moving steadily in terms of poverty reduction, 2024 was marked by a serious result here - we have an indicator of 7.2%. This is the lowest figure since the early 2000s, and in general in the history of the Russian Federation," she stressed during a cabinet meeting.

She noted that special attention is being paid to reducing poverty among large families and appropriate support measures will be further adjusted. In particular, the family tax payment will come into force in 2026.
