Abstract
The subject of the study is the modern aspects of socio-economic inequality. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of socio–economic inequality in individual countries and in Russia. The paper considers the concept of socio-economic inequality and its types. The analysis of such indicators as inequality in income, consumption, wealth, as well as various methods of assessing economic inequality (Gini coefficient, Palma coefficient, funds coefficient) in terms of their advantages and disadvantages is carried out. Trends in the dynamics of socio-economic inequality in foreign countries and in Russia are considered. Taking into account the analysis, strategies are proposed to reduce the level of income inequality in modern Russia. It is concluded that, taking into account the positive experience of foreign countries in overcoming economic inequality, an effective strategy for reducing economic inequality in our country can be the use of a progressive scale of taxation on personal income.
