Abstract: Poverty as a social problem in different degree is characteristic of any state. Solving this problem is one of the most important areas of social policy in many countries. In Russia, in the conditions of a protracted economic crisis, processes are intensifying, leading to an increase in the poverty of the population. At present, there is a critical situation, the consequences of which will affect the demographic characteristics of reproduction and the quality of the human potential of the population and may have an impact on reducing the level of security in the country. The specifics of uneven regional development only exacerbate these problems. The problem of poverty, especially of the rural population, is not adequately addressed, despite serious consequences. In this regard, the issues of sustainable development of rural areas, covering not only the economic activities of the rural population, but also socio-demographic problems, as well as issues of territorial development, are of particular relevance. The article examines the general socio-economic aspects of poverty among the population, including in rural areas. Particular attention is paid to current and controversial methods for determining poverty. The main causes and consequences of poverty for the country's economy are named. Outlined strategic and tactical areas of the struggle to improve the living standards of our citizens.
