Subject The article deals with the economic and mathematical methods as instruments to plan, evaluate, and compare the standard of living at the regional aspect, and track changes in it. Objectives The article dwells on the issue of use of economic-mathematical models in evaluating and planning the standard of living of the population. Methods For the study, we used the methods of logical analysis and economic-mathematical modeling. Results The article proposes an approach to determine the optimal values of the parameters of standard of living of the population of the Kostanay oblast, taking into account both the needs of the population and the level of development of the oblast. Conclusions and Relevance The analysis shows the active work of the scientists in the field of modeling of standards of living. The majority of methodologies for assessing and forecasting the standard of living use statistical and optimization techniques and models of forecasting values of some indicators. The proposed modeling technique of living standards of the population of the Kostanay oblast is universal, and using appropriate indicators, it can be used for planning of the standard of living of the population of any region.
