Abstract

On the base of the official statistical data, the article reviews socio-economic consequences of drug use prevalence in the federal subjects of Russia. Drug abuse mongering is a constantly developing phenomenon, which gradually comes upon new spheres of social life. The article analyses the manifestations of various consequences of drug use in the regions of Russian Federation, such as drug-related criminality, drug addiction, mortality caused by drug overdose and intoxication, etc. Experts consider these consequences to lead to a number of socio-economic losses, which adversely affect the economy (especially under the conditions of financial and economic crisis). To evaluate these consequences the author uses methods of calculating territories’ socio-economic losses of the drug addiction outspread in monetary terms on the base of statistical data. The applied methods provide an opportunity to define the interrelations between the indicators of drug abuse situation and actual economic indicators which are significantly differentiated in the Russian regions. The calculations are made for 82 regions of Russian Federation. In order to simplify the comparison of territories by this indicator the federal subjects of Russia are grouped by level of socio-economic losses. The article places a special emphasis on the prospective lines which should be kept in focus of the public authorities and applied science in order to prevent negative consequences of drug abuse.
