Abstract: Preserving and increasing the human potential of the rural population of the Russian Federation is one of the most pressing socio-economic problems of the Russian Federation, the solution of which at the state level is associated with the implementation of program provisions to improve the standard of living of the rural population, determined primarily by its income. The increasing differentiation of the standard of living of the urban and rural population of the Russian Federation actualizes the rethinking of the social agrarian policy, which should be aimed at increasing the income of the rural population as a factor of attractiveness of the agricultural regions of the country. This area of research requires a meaningful analysis of the indicators of stratification of the standard of living in the city and in the village by income. The aim of the author's research is to measure the standard of living in rural areas in comparison with the urban population of the country on the basis of income differentiation indicators in the context of "city-village". The work was carried out using such statistical methods as: comparison, analysis of dynamics indicators; the MS Excel application software package was used. The reasons for the problem of labour shortage in rural areas are substantiated. The analysis revealed an increased social differentiation of the urban and rural population by the level of income of the population and an acute problem of poverty and poverty of rural households. The decisive factor in overcoming the gap in the standard of living of the urban and rural population is the growth of wages of agricultural workers, which at the moment does not fulfil its main function – reproduction. It is revealed that the growth of income and living standards of the rural population, as the main indicator of socio-economic policy in the field of agriculture, does not meet the declared goals.
