Abstract: The article provides a comparative analysis of the financial situation of rural and urban households and the spread of poverty in rural and urban areas, which indicates that over the past 20 years, the ratio of these indicators in the city and in the countryside has not undergone fundamental changes. This indicates the conservation of a significant lag of the rural population from the urban population in terms of material wealth. The analysis of the correlation between the level of well-being and its social consequences showed that low profitability and poverty lead to a deterioration in the physical, mental and social health of the population, an increase in mortality and a decrease in the birth rate, a deterioration in the qualitative characteristics of the population and the gene pool of the nation. Proposals were given to improve the well-being of rural households and bring together the level and quality of life in the city and the population on the basis of strengthening the legal foundations of rural development and improving the program-targeted approach to the development of rural areas.
