Abstract

An analysis is made of the decline in the quality of life of the population in municipal districts of East Siberia under conditions of climatic and socioeconomic discomfort. The study revealed a correlation between the low subsistence level of the northern territories and the increase in the ratio of mortality/birthrate indices. We suggest a technique for calculating the subsistence level having regard to the degree of climatic discomfort and the poor transport infrastructure.
