Differences in income levels between individuals depending on the degree of alcohol consumption
Abstract
Objective. To analyze the differences in income levels between individuals depending on the degree of alcohol consumption.
Materials and methods. Official data of the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus. The results of the STEPS 2020 survey. Econometric analysis.
Results and conclusion. Alcohol consumption in the Republic of Belarus is a much more serious problem than it appears according to the results of sociological research. The weighted average income from employment in the group with high alcohol consumption was lower than in the group with moderate/low alcohol consumption. The reduction in alcohol consumption will be accompanied by an increase in the skills and productivity of employees and a reduction in the risks of poverty, that is, a reduction in the burden on the social protection system (due to a reduction in poverty) and an increase in its income (due to an increase in income from which contributions to the social protection fund are paid), and budget revenues as a whole (for the same reason).
