Intraprofessional stratification of military personnel of contract service

The content of the intraprofessional stratification of military personnel is considered. The criteria for the stratification of military personnel as a specific professional group are revealed: 1) military rank; 2) education; 3) family income; 3) prestige of the military profession. As a result of the analysis of the results of the empirical analysis, an intraprofessional stratification of military authors is presented , including three basic strata: 1) senior military specialists (officers performing military service under contract – 20–25 % of the military personnel); 2) junior military specialists (warrant officers, sergeants, privates performing military service under a contract – 60–65 % of the military personnel); 3) trained military specialists (cadets of higher military institutes of Russia performing military service under a contract – 10% of the military personnel). The necessity of developing a mechanism for constructing an increase in the quality of life of military personnel is justified, which should ensure not only their sustainable educational development, but also an increase in material content, ensuring the possibility of expanded consumption not only for them, but also for their family members.
