Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the influence of economic differentiation of the population on regional development and modernization processes. The research of the economic inequality of the population on the basis of statistical data and social surveys that conducted in the regions of the North-Western Federal District was reviewed. The indicators that reflect the degree of material inequality of the population from 2000 to 2012 are analyzed in article. The study characterizes social groups according to populations’ wealth status, taking into consideration the actual income level among these categories. The study shows a relationship between the modernization level and the magnitude of inequality: the higher is the modernization level, the higher is the degree of income inequality in the region. The article also contains the classification of the regions by the level of modernization of the economy and the degree of socio-economic inequality of the population, which leads to the conclusion that the level of the territory’s modernization, the level of income and the degree of stratification of the population are directly dependent on each other.
