Theoretical aspects of the application of regional coefficients to the wages of workers in the Russian Federation

The system of remuneration of workers living in special climatic conditions is a topical issue. An important element of it are guarantees (including regional coefficients) and compensations applied in organizations located in special climatic conditions. The article explores the use of district coefficients in the introduction as a measure of compensating for differences in prices and tariffs and ensuring that the purchasing power of monetary (nominal) wages is approximately equal in the regions of the country. Compensation for differences in needs due to natural and climatic conditions is aimed at ensuring approximately equal real wages, i.e. approximately equal conditions for the reproduction of the labor force in the regions of Russia. In the context of increasing demand for personnel in the northern regions, the regional coefficient is an effective tool for solving this problem.
