Economic problems are not the only difficulties faced by the state. Another area is social problems.

Between themselves, these factors are closely interconnected, and to one degree or another are found in any country. Below IQReview prepared an analysis, highlighting and describing the current social problems in Russia and their impact on the lives of citizens.

What are social problems?

According to Wikipedia, social problems are situations, events and conditions that directly or indirectly negatively affect a citizen from the point of view of society. At first, this term ("social problem") referred only to the unequal distribution of wealth. It began to be used at the beginning of the 19th (19th) century, in Western Europe.

The list of problems has changed and continues to change over time with:

    changing circumstances (economic, social, political);

    and changing living standards citizens;

    change in the minds of citizens.

Types and classification

U s All problems can be divided into:

    Socio-economic. This includes all factors related to finances and material conditions.

    Social and household. They include factors related to providing citizens with affordable housing, living conditions, material difficulties of young and large families.

    Socio-psychological. Includes factors relating to the family and internal relationships between relatives. This also includes family conflicts, domestic violence, infidelity, divorce.

    Socio-political problems. This includes the arms race, regional and state conflicts, the growth of violence in individual countries and the world as a whole. This also applies to conflicts on religious or ethnic grounds.

E If another wording is given, the classification of problems will look like this:

    between social groups.

    Between classes.

    between separate individuals.

    between social systems.

The global problems include the following factors:

    Demographic. In global terms, it is associated with the overall growth of the world's population. In a number of states, it concerns a decrease in the number of inhabitants.

    Food. It concerns the need to provide residents with food.

    Energy. It concerns the need to provide the population of the planet with energy.

    Ecological. Regarding pollution environment and waste disposal.

List of major problems in Russia and the world

Actual social problems all over the world are the same. The difference lies in the fact that in some countries some problems are more acute, while others are less so. In some states, some social problems are practically absent: the percentage of their manifestations is very small.

Now let's have a list. Current social problems today are as follows:

    Alcoholism, drug addiction (both among adults and among minors).

    Banditry, crime - both children's and "adult", terrorism, prostitution, extremism.

    Homelessness, violations of children's rights, abortions, abandonment of children.

    Fascism, conflicts arising on religious, national, ethnic grounds.

    Inequality between classes of residents (when one part of the citizens is poor, and the other is rich).

    Unemployment, poverty, insufficient wages.

    Disability (a high number of disabled relative to total strength population), attitude towards citizens with disabilities.

    Demographic crisis: high mortality, low birth rate, high number of citizens who emigrated, a large percentage of pensioners and elderly citizens.

    Environmental pollution, the possibility of a man-made disaster.

    Health status: increased incidence, epidemics, high chance of infection.

    Social inequality, infringement of certain categories of citizens.

    Corruption (does not depend on the level economic development- can manifest itself both in a poor and in a rich state).

    Inflation.

    Suicide (large number of cases relative to population).

    Restriction of the rights of citizens, suppression of freedom of speech, movement.

    Low level of education, lack of specialists.

Population of Russia

The full list of these problems is most clearly manifested in third world countries. In addition to their acute manifestation, in such states there is also a complete (or ineffective) system for solving them. That is, no one tries to influence the situation. As a result, the harmful situation can progress and last for years and even decades.

In more developed countries, these problems also exist, but they are felt much weaker.

In Russia, the key negative factors are poverty and low salaries- even among specialists of a narrow profile and in-demand professions.

Less serious social problems are:

    High level of corruption, "nepotism", promotion of "their own". It can be traced in all structures.

    Unemployment, lack of jobs in the regions.

    Alcoholism.

    Violence in family.

The remaining social problems in the Russian Federation are mostly the result of these factors, and to some extent depend on them.

Brief statistics

The social problems of Russia in numbers have the following indicators (for 2016):

    Alcoholism. Among about 5 million are alcoholics (of which 6% are minors).

    Addiction. There are about 3 million citizens who constantly use drugs. Among them, 60% are aged 16-30 years, 20% are minors, 20% are citizens over 30 years old.

    Crime. 2.16 million crimes were registered (10% lower than in 2015). Among them, 44% were cases of theft of other people's property. Every second crime was committed by persons who had previously violated the law, and every third was committed while intoxicated.

    Corruption. RF belongs to the countries with high level corruption. The most corrupt sectors of the social sphere (medicine, housing and communal services), law enforcement agencies and some state organizations(land distribution, government orders and public procurement, certification).

    Unemployment. Unemployed - 4.1 million (compared to 2015, there is a decline in unemployment by 0.4%).

    Inflation: 5.4% (in 2015 it exceeded 12%).

    abortion. In 2015, at the request of women, 447,000 abortions were performed. According to statistics, the number of abortions in the Russian Federation has been steadily declining over the past two decades. For comparison: in 1995, 2.76 million abortions were performed in the Russian Federation.

    Suicide. For 100 thousand citizens - 15.4 (for 2016). This is the lowest figure since 1960. In the "nineties" the Russian Federation ranked second in the world in terms of the number of suicides, in 2013 - the fourteenth, in 2016 - the thirtieth. About 22% of suicides, according to statistics, are committed by citizens aged 40-49 years, and men are 6 times more likely than women.

    Ethnic conflicts. Due to the multi-ethnic composition of the population of the Russian Federation, conflicts on national and religious grounds often arise. They mainly occur in large cities (where large diasporas of representatives of other nationalities live) and in cities located close to the southern borders.

    Violence in family. Statistics on this type of crime is complicated due to the fact that about 60-70% of cases are not brought to law enforcement agencies, and about 97% of cases do not reach the court. According to rough estimates, about a quarter of all families are at risk (family violence is present to some extent).

    homelessness. The exact number of homeless children in the country has not been established, according to approximate estimates, it is several thousand. There are about 72,000 children of various ages in orphanages. More than 500,000 children are complete orphans, but are brought up in other families.

    Prostitution. In 2014, according to rough estimates, the number of employees in this industry was about 3 million.

    Health status. Out of 188 countries, the Russian Federation was in 119th place in terms of the health of citizens. There are about 1.5 million HIV-infected citizens. About 300 thousand citizens die from cancer every year. Statistics on tuberculosis - 9 cases per 100 thousand of the population. In general, the assessment of the situation is below average.

    Social inequality. According to official statistics around the world, the rating of the Russian Federation in the list of countries is high, but far from the "leaders" (in which inequality is most pronounced).

    Demographic situation. Since 2010, the population has been growing steadily. As of the beginning of 2017, it is 146,804,372 citizens. From 1996 to 2009 inclusive, there was a demographic crisis: the population was steadily declining (from 148.291 million in 1996 to 141.9 million in 2009). The situation is more complicated with the age of the nation: the number of pensioners (at the end of 2016) is almost 43 million (that is, almost a third of the total number).

    Disability. In 2015, there were almost 13 million people with disabilities in the Russian Federation. Among them are 605,000 disabled children (under the age of 18).

    Poverty. According to Rosstat, 21.4 million Russians (14.6% of the total population) can be considered poor. In fact, this indicator is much higher, because (by which the amount of poverty is calculated) is much lower than the real amount needed for a living. According to various estimates, from 40 to 70 million citizens (that is, slightly less than half) are below the poverty line.


Poverty rate in Russia

Relationship between individual factors

Almost all problems are closely interrelated and usually do not develop independently, but in a complex manner.

Larger and more serious factors "pull" several related problems:

    The growth of unemployment leads to poverty, an increase in crime, prostitution, social inequality, and a demographic crisis.

    An increase in the number of alcoholics, drug addicts leads to an increase in crime, prostitution, domestic violence, early mortality, suicide, and an increase in morbidity statistics.

    The growth of crime entails increased corruption and prostitution.

T social andeconomic problems . In the event of a long the decline of the state economy will be aggravated by the following negative factors, along the chain:

    Decrease in the standard of living, incomes of the population.

    Rising unemployment.

    The growth of crime.

    Exacerbation of the problem of alcoholism and drug addiction - as citizens in difficult situations often resort to alcohol and drugs to distract themselves.

    Increasing incidence of domestic violence.

    Decline in the birth rate, aslow-income families do not have enough money to provide for the child.

    The deterioration of the health status of the population is due to cheap food, lack of funds for treatment and medicine, and difficult working conditions.

Reasons for the appearance

Actual social problems are a consequence arising from various causes. Each problem individually appears due to certain conditions. Often one problem is a consequence of another, since they are all closely related.

If we consider groups of problems, then the causes of their occurrence include:

    Demographic, family problems. They arise due to the low level of prosperity of the population, unemployment, low level of medical care, lack of social programs (or their low quality) aimed at supporting families with children.

    Crime. It is growing due to high unemployment, alcoholism and drug addiction, poor work of law enforcement agencies.

    Fascism and conflicts arising on religious, national or ethnic grounds. It manifests itself due to the presence of two or more different social groups in a certain area. Also, the reason may be historical background, due to which some groups are aggressive towards others.

    Corruption. It arises due to weak control by the state, the lack of public control over the activities of power structures by the population (or the lack of response from law enforcement agencies).

    Poor health status of the population, high percentage of disability. It arises due to insufficient funding for medicine, low living standards, poor environmental conditions, outdated production technologies, alcoholism and drug addiction.

    Social inequality. It arises due to the large difference between the living conditions of different groups of the population (in income levels, opportunities, benefits).

Violence Statistics

You can select and common factors that lead to the development and progression of problems:

    Weak control of the state apparatus, slow (or ineffective) response to emerging problems (or lack of it at all).

    Not enough effective work law enforcement and other regulatory agencies.

    Insufficiently effective work of educational institutions.

    The poor state of the economy as a whole.

    High population density.

    Too fast change(technical progress, rapidly changing fashion trends), which leads to the development of a consumer behavior model, when the population seeks to have all the fashionable goods, spending money on it. Also in this case, people easily succumb to advertising and other information received from external sources.

Ways to fight and prevention

Statistics show that solving social problems forever and everywhere is impossible. It is possible to partially reduce their manifestation, up to a minimum.

Moreover, measures taken to solve some social problems can lead to other negative phenomena. For example, in the 1930s Soviet Union actively engaged in the fight against unemployment. Its level has fallen: new jobs have been created for citizens in construction, industry and the agricultural sector. However, this resulted in inefficient employment and heavy manual labor.

Before starting a fight with a problem, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of it. It should include:

    Scale: what area (city, region, and so on) the factor covers.

    "Target audience": what segments of the population and age categories feel its influence.

    How dangerous is the situation.

    What problems and factors accompany its appearance.

    What is the key problem of the complex (for example, alcoholism is one of the main causes of poor health, increased crime, domestic violence).

After the “diagnosis”, the authorities should develop a set of measures aimed at combating negative factors. Solving social problems may include:

    Enlightenment target audience". The public must be aware of the current situation and its development, as well as the consequences that it entails. For example, if we are talking about the fight against drug addiction, it is necessary to regularly bring to the attention of the public information about the consequences of drug use. narcotic substances and crimes committed under the influence of drugs.

    Development of measures aimed at solving key and related problems.

    Strengthening control over the situation, regular monitoring of dynamics. It is necessary to track in which direction the statistics are changing, and at what pace the changes are taking place.

    If possible, increase liability. For example, if we are talking about drug addiction, then the terms of imprisonment for the distribution and production of substances should be increased.

Modern measures to combat each problem separately are always an individual task. The same negative factor in each country will manifest itself differently.

Representatives of all levels of government, regulatory authorities and state structures- from deputies of the State Duma and up to. The media should not be left out. Their task is to bring the current situation, its changes and possible consequences to the population.

3. Text. Modern migration processes in Russia

External migration processes in Russia are characterized by qualitative features in relation to the emigrating contingent. Recall that over the past 15 years the country has lost at least 100 thousand people annually. Russia is leaving the most educated, professionally trained people, for whose training huge capital has been spent. "Brain drain" is an indicator that characterizes the socio-economic and political situation of the country. First of all, scientists, doctors, technical and creative intelligentsia, highly skilled workers are leaving Russia. Our citizens, leaving the country, significantly contribute to the growth of the scientific, technical and intellectual potential of Germany, Israel, the USA and a number of other countries.

"Brain drain" has a pronounced perspective character. According to the results of surveys of graduates of leading natural-technical universities (Moscow State University, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Moscow Aviation Institute, etc.), more than 50% of them would like to emigrate, and 10-12% already have specific proposals for working abroad. Today, every fifth emigrant has a higher education, including among those who left for Israel - 30%, in the USA - more than 40% (the share of people with higher education in Russia is only 13.3%). The departure of a highly qualified specialist is equivalent to the loss of 300 thousand dollars a year for Russia. The damage caused by the departure of one specialist with a Ph.D. degree in some cases reaches $2 million. According to the most conservative estimates of experts on population migration, in the coming years Russia will suffer losses in the amount of $30-35 billion annually due to the departure of specialists with a high level of training.

The paradoxical nature of the qualitative side of the immigration-emigration balance is determined by the fact that, giving a number of countries its most highly qualified personnel, Russia acquires very low-skilled personnel from part of the excess labor potential of neighboring and even distant countries. There is no exact definition of the number of immigrants to Russia, according to many experts, illegal immigrants are at least 1 million people. In a number of regions of the country, illegal immigration has the most significant impact on the socio-economic, and often even on the state-political situation. For example, immigrants from Southeast Asian countries (mainly from China) are concentrated in the Far East. Taking into account the growing outflow of the Russian-speaking population from the regions Far East The increase in the proportion of Chinese in the total population creates not only ethnic and cultural problems, but also far-reaching economic, military-strategic and political difficulties.

Illegal immigrants occupy the most unprestigious jobs for the local population. A significant part of them agree to work outside their specialty and without formalizing their labor relations with the employer. This situation creates special social and economic consequences. Employers become less interested in improving working conditions and introducing new, more advanced technology; favorable conditions are created for the development of the shadow economy; the level of injuries and morbidity among migrants is growing.

Russia is unable today to avoid both legal and illegal immigration. Its inevitability is predetermined by the demographic situation in the country. For the sake of preserving the territory, the state will have to open the doors wide for immigrants. It is already extremely difficult to curb illegal migration today; we will have to respond by expanding legal opportunities for immigration. It is necessary, without delay, to develop a new migration legislation that takes into account today's and tomorrow's interests of Russia. But just changing the laws is not enough. Different attitudes towards nation and citizenship are urgently needed, it is necessary to control the structure of immigration. At the same time, new management schemes and aspirations should be aimed at optimizing the demographic situation of the people of Russia, it is necessary not tomorrow, but today, in reality, to take care of their well-being and health.

social status

social status (from lat. status- position, state) of the individual - this is the position of a person in society, which he occupies in accordance with his age, gender, origin, profession, marital status.

social status - it is a certain position in the social structure of a group or society, connected with other positions through a system of rights and obligations.

Sociologists distinguish several varieties of social statuses:

1) The statuses determined by the position of the individual in the group are personal and social.

personal status the position of a person that he occupies in the so-called small, or primary, group is called, depending on how his individual qualities are evaluated in it.

On the other hand, in the process of interaction with other individuals, each person performs certain social functions that determine him. social status.

2) Statuses determined by the time frame, the impact on the life of the individual as a whole - the main and non-main (episodic).

Main status determines the main thing in a person’s life (most often this is the status associated with the main place of work and family, for example, a good family man and an irreplaceable worker).

Episodic (non-main) social statuses affect the details of human behavior (for example, a pedestrian, a passenger, a passer-by, a patient, a participant in a demonstration or strike, a reader, a listener, a viewer, etc.).

3) Statuses acquired or not acquired as a result of free choice.

Prescribed (assigned) status - a social position that is prescribed in advance to an individual by society, regardless of the merits of the individual (for example, nationality, place of birth, social origin, etc.).

mixed status has the features of prescribed and achieved statuses (a person who has become disabled, the title of academician, Olympic champion, etc.).

Reachable ( acquired) acquired as a result of free choice, personal efforts and is under the control of a person (education, profession, material wealth, business connections, etc.).

In any society, there is a certain hierarchy of statuses, which is the basis of its stratification. Certain statuses are prestigious, others are vice versa. This hierarchy is formed under the influence of two factors:

a) the real usefulness of those social functions that a person performs;

b) the system of values ​​characteristic of a given society.

If the prestige of any statuses is unreasonably high or, on the contrary, underestimated, it is usually said that there is a loss of status balance. A society in which there is a similar tendency to lose this balance is unable to ensure its normal functioning.

Prestige - it is an assessment by society of the social significance of a particular status, enshrined in culture and public opinion.

Each individual can have a large number of statuses. The social status of the individual primarily affects its behavior. Knowing the social status of a person, one can easily determine most of the qualities that he possesses, as well as predict the actions that he will carry out. Such expected behavior of a person, associated with the status that he has, is commonly called a social role.

social role It is a status oriented behavior pattern.

social role - it is a pattern of behavior recognized as appropriate for people of a given status in a given society.

Roles are determined by people's expectations (for example, the notion that parents should take care of their children, that an employee should conscientiously carry out the work entrusted to him, has taken root in the public mind). But each person, depending on specific circumstances, accumulated life experience and other factors, fulfills a social role in his own way.

Applying for this status, a person must fulfill all the role requirements assigned to this social position. Each person has not one, but a whole set of social roles that he plays in society. The totality of all the roles of a person in society is called role system or role set.

Role set (role system)

role set - a set of roles (role complex) associated with one status.

Each role in the role set requires a specific manner of behavior and communication with people and is thus a collection of relationships unlike any other. The role set includes basic (typical) and situational social roles.

Examples of basic social roles:

1) a worker;

2) owner;

3) consumer;

4) a citizen;

5) family member (husband, wife, son, daughter).

social roles can be institutionalized and conventional.

Institutionalized roles: institution of marriage, family (social roles of mother, daughter, wife).

Conventional Roles accepted by agreement (a person may refuse to accept them).

Social roles are associated with social status, profession or type of activity (teacher, pupil, student, seller).

A man and a woman are also social roles, biologically predetermined and involving specific ways of behavior, fixed by social norms or customs.

Interpersonal roles are associated with interpersonal relationships that are regulated on an emotional level (leader, offended, family idol, loved one, etc.).

Role behavior

From the social role as a model of behavior, one should distinguish the real role behavior, which means not socially expected, but the actual behavior of the performer of a particular role. And here much depends on personal qualities individual, on the degree of assimilation of social norms by him, on his beliefs, attitudes, value orientations.

Factors determining the process of implementing social roles:

1) biopsychological capabilities of a person, which may contribute to or hinder the performance of a particular social role;

2) the nature of the role adopted in the group and the features of social control, designed to monitor the implementation of role-playing behavior;

3) personal pattern, defining a set of behavioral characteristics necessary for the successful performance of the role;

4) group structure, its cohesion and degree of identification of the individual with the group.

In the process of implementing social roles, certain difficulties may arise related to the need for a person to perform in different situations many roles in some cases, the discrepancy between social roles, the emergence of contradictions and conflict relations between them.
