Обоснование изменений методики расчета среднемесячной заработной платы наемных работников
This article focuses on the explanations of changes in official methodology and new information sources used to calculate the average monthly accrued wages of hired workers (employees) in organizations, individual entrepreneurs and individuals (average monthly income from employment).
Based on assessments of representativeness of the Sample Statistical Survey of Income (SSSI) by Russian regions, the authors investigate the possibility of abandoning the conditional «spreading coefficient» used in the official method of calculating earnings and switching to the direct use of the results of SSSI of hired workers. The article suggests clarifying the composition of categories of employees in order to make fuller use of statistical reporting data of organizations as the most reliable information source.
The changes in the official method of calculation of the employees' earnings, which were discussed in the article, are aimed at increasing the accuracy and reliability of the assessment of this indicator for Russia and Russian regions.
