Abstract
Objective: to study the conceptual characteristics of non-monetary inequality in the modern Russian and foreign literature. Methods: analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis, generalization. Results: the article presents the results of a review of the modern Russian and foreign works on the study of non-monetary aspects of inequality. The paper substantiates the limitations of monetary and metric approaches in assessing the society stratification. The main approaches to the study of non-monetary differentiation are identified: deprivation, discrimination, self-identification and resource approaches. The author’s interpretation of the “non-monetary inequality” category is presented. It is shown that non-monetary inequality is a societal phenomenon. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to supplement income differentiation with evaluation of the characteristics of non-monetary inequality. In the future, it would be possible to develop and test a methodology for assessing non-monetary inequality of a region’s population. Scientific novelty: the author’s interpretation of non-monetary inequality is presented; the features of this socio-economic category are defined. Practical significance: the main provisions of the article can be used for further theoretical and methodological research and practical recommendations for reducing non-monetary differentiation.
