Abstract: The article contains a comparative analysis of the level of employment, unemployment and social protection of the unemployed in urban and rural areas of the Russian Federation in the context of the implementation of the national poverty reduction goal. Attention is focused on the fact that the bulk of the rural unemployed are outside the state-regulated labor market and do not receive assistance in finding employment, improving professional competencies, acquiring new professions, and do not have material support. A historical digression into the transformation of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Employment of the Population in the Russian Federation" was made, which showed a generally negative dynamics of the legal foundations of social protection of the unemployed. The expert assessment of the currently implemented program-targeted approach to the regulation of employment and unemployment in rural areas is given, the main directions and measures to improve the situation in the rural labor market as a key factor in overcoming the concentration of Russian poverty in rural areas are proposed. It is noted that the strategic direction of increasing rural employment and reducing unemployment is the sectoral diversification of the rural economy, updated as the technical and technological modernization of production, which reduces the need for labor. The activity of employment services of the population is considered, the appeal to which rural citizens engaged in job search remains low. The proposals on the main directions of employment policy in rural areas and social protection of rural unemployed are substantiated.
