The authors have identified patterns of influence of the involvement of members of society in the system of economic relations, the influence of the level and nature of employment on the financial situation of the population of the region. The general characteristics of the labour market are presented with taking into account the factors of poverty of the population. Particular attention is paid to the disclosure of the concepts of "social stratification" and "social inequality". The article also contains recommendations for public authorities aimed at improving their work to ensure a higher level and quality of life for the population of the Republic to overcome social stratification.
