After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic but before social payments made by the government, over 35 percent of the Russian population living in households with children up to three years old lived under the poverty line, according to the estimates made in the second quarter of 2020. Compared to the period prior to the crisis caused by the disease spread, that share increased by roughly 10 percent. As a result of the social support program, it decreased to nearly 30 percent.
