Abstract

For the successful implementation of national development programs of the country, the informed choice of the objects and technologies of “impact” provided by them on the part of state authorities, it is necessary to develop a unified interdisciplinary approach to assessing the quality of life of citizens, combining an objective characteristic of the macroeconomic situation and a subjective individual self-assessment of their personal feelings in the context of their culture and value system, convenient for organizing dynamic monitoring as part of a digitization program of the country’s economy. The purpose of the study is to give an integral assessment of the objective and subjective component of the quality of life of the population in the territories of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation and justify the feasibility of organizing its comprehensive monitoring within the framework of the digitization program for the regional economy. Research methodology. At the first stage, in a group of 1,616 people (including 504 men (31.2%) and 1,112 women (68.8%)) - residents of the Arctic Zone of Arkhangelsk Region and Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a sociological survey was carried out using the questionnaire method to determine individual assessments of the quality of life (used by the World Health Organization (WHO) Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF). At the second stage, a comparative consolidated socioeconomic assessment of the population’s quality of life was carried out by the method of multivariate analysis of statistical data of the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia (the author’s method). An analysis of the results of two stages of the research allowed us to calculate an integral assessment of the quality of life of the population in the Arctic Zone of Arkhangelsk Region and Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The method developed by the authors for calculating the integral assessment of the citizens’ quality of life can be used to organize its monitoring as part of the digitalization program for the regional economy.
