In July 2019, an ethnosociological study was conducted by the staff of the Center for the Study of Border Regions of the Institute for Social and Political Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the topic: �Labor and economic life in the Republics of the North Caucasus Federal District of the Russian Federation�. During the study, 200 respondents and 10 experts were interviewed in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The experts were scientists - sociologists and demographers, lawyers and civil servants. The following aspects of the labor and economic activities of citizens were investigated: the importance of labor, satisfaction with the level of remuneration, the ability to realize one�s creative potential, as well as intellectual abilities and labor skills, opportunities for expanding one's professional horizons. The attitude of citizens of the republic to such realities of modernity as the need for the development of new knowledge and skills, self-employment, individual and collective work, extended working hours and overtime work is studied. Part of the study concerned the issues of gender stereotype of labor, the degree of women's involvement in the economic life of the republic, the impact of maternal employment on the situation in families. The concept of �labor� was considered from two points of view: both as the main source of replenishment of the family budget, and as a way of social and professional self-realization. The phenomenon of unemployment is considered separately: to what extent it is prevalent in the region, what measures are preferred by citizens to prevent job loss.
