A decrease in the rural population, an increase in the demographic burden on it, a reduction in the level of employment in the village and the presence of monetary poverty among the fifth part of rural residents were noted. Despite the state support of agriculture and the growth of average monthly wages in the industry, it is significantly lower than the average monthly labor cost of economics as a whole. The imbalance in the ratio of the average monthly disposable resources of rural and urban households in favor of the city during the study period practically did not change.
