Small business development programs do not lead to results due to high poverty - Mironov
All small business development programs are becoming ineffective due to the high level of poverty and regional inequality, said Sergei Mironov, head of the Fair Russia - For Truth party.
{{quote|"The level of poverty in Russia leaves no chance for the development of small businesses as a phenomenon. Therefore, it was naive to expect that he would become a source of well-being and numerical growth of the middle class. Nevertheless, the authorities made a fetish out of small business, spent huge resources on its development and received a predictable failure, "he said, commenting on the conclusions of experts from the Higher School of Economics that small businesses in Russia did not become a middle-class incubator.
| | "Come to any small town or depressed region and see what goods and services are presented there. Almost everything revolves around basic physiological needs: grocery, wine, hairdresser, funeral agency, payday loans, cafes work only for organizing commemorations (less often weddings). These are key niches in which small businesses outside megacities can now develop. For more, people simply do not have money. To expect that everyone will become businessmen, get rich and enter the middle class is a real Manilovism. The fetishization of small businesses took away from the authorities key resources that could go to fight poverty: time and money, "the politician explained. | |
At the same time, he noted that small businesses need to be supported and developed, however, "for this it is necessary to first create conditions, the key of which is solvent demand."
| | "To create conditions for small businesses, poverty must be defeated and the demand for goods and services it can provide must be solvent. For people to go to beauty salons, restaurants, ateliers, buy handmade goods, they need decent salaries and pensions. What can a person who receives 15-20 thousand rubles a month afford? Only the cheapest and least quality products and some clothing. Small businesses have indeed become a driver of development and the foundation of stability in countries where the minimum wage is 10 times higher than in Russia, and a progressive tax scale operates. Ignore the problem of the working poor, colossal inequality, including inequality between regions, and at the same time praying for small businesses is pure sabotage, "the head of the party added. | |
| | "That is why we propose to raise the minimum wage to 50-60 thousand rubles so that there are simply no working poor in Russia. Only the victory over poverty will give small businesses a chance to become a source of Russian development and a "middle-class incubator." In its current form, small business support is more like a loophole for corruption, when interest-free loans and grant support receive only the "necessary" enterprises, "concluded Sergei Mironov. | |
