摘要：This paper presents a new approach according to which the issue of socio-economic inequality is addressed not by applying social or fiscal policy measures,but by strengthening societal psychological resilience:by shaping a society characterized by a high level of social culture and education,by fostering a society in which individuals are resistant to life difficulties.In this paper,we pursue the aim of demonstrating the socio-economic vulnerability factors,the importance of strengthening resilience and reduction of socio-economic inequality,by analyzing data of a survey which was conducted in 2016 (representative sample,n=1001).The research results have demonstrated statistically significant differences of resilience in different income quintiles'groups and resilience in different subjective socio-economic status groups and have revealed statistically significant differences in reaction to life difficulties in different income quintiles'groups and in different subjective social economic status groups.
