Abstract
The article analyzes the features of the social well-being of the residents of the Russian province, examines the relevant factors that influence its level and direction.
The author points out that the socio-cultural features of the periphery are essential for people’s subjective perception of the success of their lives. The article concludes that the social well-being of residents of the Russian province is largely determined by the age of the respondents. Middle-aged and older Russians are much less likely to perceive their social status as high, rarely have high self-esteem, and see opportunities for self-realization in the future.
The social well-being of residents of the Russian province is also significantly influenced by the level of education, readiness for continuous self-development and education throughout life, subjective assessment of their own material well-being, as well as the degree of social integration of a person and support from the immediate environment and the local community.
Based on the analysis, the author concludes that the social policy of the Russian state and society is not very effective, and that it is necessary to develop social institutions that focus on the formation of “self-care” competencies for Russian residents throughout their lives.
