Abstract
Particular attention has been given to the determinants of social inequality. The results of the survey show that among the priority ones there are the five major determinants:
– the first one is the material status;
– the second place goes to temporal factor. Spare time for communication with friends, self-education, hobbies and leisure has become not easily available for many young people;
– the third determinant is the place of living and living conditions: the comfort and prestige of city district, its safety and infrastructure;
– the fourth place is taken by mental outfit and social capital, in other words, by the body of knowledge and skills which is in demand on the labour market;
– the fifth factor is the power, the ability to influence other people (relatives, friends, colleagues, government)
We have found out that along with the traditional inequalities the new form of inequality – the temporal
inequality – is becoming more and more significant for the Russian youth.
