Capabilities as an Indicator of Poverty
Using a multidimensional approach, sociologists from HSE University have identified some vulnerable categories of the population that have rarely been the focus of research on poverty. According to their calculations, pensioners and people with disabilities also fall into the ‘poor’ category. The study was published in the Russian Journal of Economics.
Middle-Class Russians Reduce Spending When It Comes to Themselves but Not Their Children

This is evidenced by a study conducted by the Centre for Studies of Income and Living Standards of HSE University.
