Togliatti
The result of data processing revealed that the most problematic and poor metropolis of the Russian Federation is the world-famous Togliatti - a city of large automotive industry. Togliatti has the highest proportion of poor and low-income men of young age. Such data is disappointing, because a high index of poverty and the share of poor citizens can be the beginning of social unrest, outbreaks of aggression. There are about seven hundred thousand people living in the city, 13% of them live on the verge of poverty. This situation is connected with the fact that Togliatti is an industrial center of the late period created by the will of the leadership of the Communist Party of the former USSR.AvtoVAZ plant tolerates the decline of its operations due to tough and serious competition in the car market. And the population of the city unwillingly shares the destiny of the enterprise.
In addition to large cities, where the standard of living of their residents is low, there are many small towns and villages in which the situation with regard to the economy is more complex and gloomy. The worst result belongs to the Crimea, Smolensk and Ivanovo region. The situation is not better in the cities of the Far North.
