The work is based on the results of the author's sociological study «Socio-economic inequality in the representation of the student youth of the Rostov region», which was conducted using the method of a questionnaire survey, which allowed us to collect empirical information during a face-to-face survey of respondents (young people aged 14 to 30 years) by registering their answers to questions asked in accordance with the goals and objectives of the study. The results of the study. In the views of the youth of the Rostov region, socio-economic inequality has an impact on the lives of the younger generation. The majority of young people in the region believe that the existence of unequal access to good jobs and education hinders the implementation of a life strategy and limits the opportunities for vertical mobility in society. A sociological study devoted to the analysis of the views of the student youth of the Rostov region regarding socio-economic inequality revealed the influence of the territorial settlement factor on it. Prospects for further use of the results. In the context of increasing threats to public security, the issue of implementing measures to reduce the level of material stratification of society, overcome poverty and improve the quality of life of the Russian population is acute. In this regard, it is necessary to identify the main areas of activity aimed at changing the institutional environment of Russian society, which generates these negative social phenomena.
