“…The relationship between the quality of life and social welfare is of shared taxonomy, therefore it is difficult to define unambiguously. It is hard to imagine social welfare without quality of life, but in order to implement quality of life, there is a need for the context of social welfare, which could be described with social and personal well-being indicators, such as a subjective perception of socioeconomic status, social optimism, social ties and level of active involvement (Telešienė, 2015;Krinitcyna, Mikhailova, & German, 2016;). In the opinion of Krutulienė (2012), the problem lies in that the terms "quality of life", "welfare" and "well-being" are usually used as synonyms.…”

“…Quality of life in a family is becoming more important in the policy of welfare. Conceptually quality of life is closely related to social welfare (Krinitcyna, Mikhailova, & German, 2016;Telešienė, 2015). Quality of life is a very broad and complex concept, covering almost all the spheres of a person's life and indicating the degree of meeting human material, spiritual and social needs.…”

<p>The relationship between the quality of life and social welfare is of shared taxonomy, therefore it is difficult to define unambiguously. It is hard to imagine social welfare without the quality of life, but in order to put the quality of life into practice, we need the context of social welfare. For children’s social welfare, family and the way it creates quality of life is central. However, we lack instruments to evaluate children’s quality of life with family-focused approach. For that purpose, we introduce KIDSCREEN52 survey with 1763 children (aged 8-18 years old) and 1564 parents. Moreover, we raise the<br />question of ecological validity, firstly, because there is a need to develop measurements that are closer to real life situations, in order to productively contribute to the ensuring of children’s social welfare.</p>

“…Thus, it allowed considering the role of a woman in society as an active bearer of changes, rather than a passive recipient of assistance (Kolesnik and Pavlova, 2017). At the same time, in Russian society gender inequality is manifested everywhere in latent or explicit discrimination (Kolesnik and Goreva, 2016;Krinitcyna, 2016), for example, through gender segmentation and asymmetry of the labour market, undervaluation of the contribution of women to the real sector of the national economy. Concerning indigenous small peoples of the Russian Arctic, it is gender inequality that remains the basis of their way of life.…”

The article deals with contemporary aspects of gender inequality on the example of indigenous small peoples of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, substantiate its main tendencies and develop directions for achieving gender equality in aboriginal society. Historical analysis of the origins of gender inequality among indigenous small peoples was conducted. In the course of the study, such methods as analysis and synthesis were used to generalise gender inequality; a historical method for understanding its origin; statistical methods for determining modern aspects of inequalities; the logical method was used for making conclusions. The natural and economic circumstances of regions of the Russian Arctic in the context of their influence on gender inequality were provided. The traditional social status and the role of women in the Russian Arctic was studied. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that the topic of gender inequality in the Russian Arctic was practically never discussed before. The survey showed that in indigenous people their mentality and their commitment to traditional nature management play an important role, which, according to the opinion of many aboriginal women, need more support at the state and regional levels, development of folk crafts, the creation of jobs and protection of this territory. The methods of achieving gender equality and improving the status of women of small indigenous peoples of the Russian Arctic were suggested. The conclusions stated what steps need to be taken to overcome gender inequality for women, what should be noted first and what is the key to achieving gender equality.
