Poverty is a global social problem, which is actively studied; it has a lot of similarities in the whole world. According to most researchers, theoretically poverty is an inability to maintain an acceptable standard of living, therefore, the «classic» poor families existed for all times and everywhere. And, unfortunately, as soon the rich will become richer, as the poor will become poorer. Especially it concerns Russia with its unstable economy and instability in the society. Taking into account income of those and other we can see that income average shows that Russia is not the country of poor, but it only means that a redistribution of income is constantly leans in favor of the wealthy.The need became stable and reproducible reality for millions of Russians, who not only caught up in extreme conditions (the unemployed, refugees, families with many children, single, low-income parents, people with disabilities, disabled pensioners, etc.) , but for able-bodied workers of crisis industries and scarce areas (the defense industry, machine building, light industry, agriculture, budgetary institutions).We can't say that the state uses various programs for the reduction of poverty in our country. All developed countries of the world constantly continue to improve their systems of social support of the poor. They are trying to find the border, for which this support shouldn't come out to save the Foundation of the economy: it is the desire of the people to work, because it is the only way you can secure yourself and your relatives a worthy and, moreover, a comfortable existence.
