Abstract
Basing on the data of the population social well-being monitoring, held by the Institute of Social Analysis and Forecasting of RANEPA in the period from 2015 to 2019, expectations, evaluations, adaptive strategies and results of various population groups in the second half of the 2010s have been analyzed. The stages of “new reality” perception are shown — from expectations of quick escape to the trajectory of positive development to the growth of alarmist moods and then to distribution of stabilizing trend by the second half of 2019. The new forms of adaptive behavior are revealed, the most widespread and rapidly reproducible of which is reducing all types of expenses that led to decrease in the level and quality of life of various social groups. However, over time, the adaptive practices associated with labor and financial activity have been developed and spread basing on use of human capital. The characteristics and integral estimations of the country population social well-being have been analyzed. The data show that the scarcity of the positive social dynamics’ capacity actualizes the socioeconomic risks caused by the unfavorable situation with the virus.
