The purpose of this study is to examine the gender characteristics and structure of men’s and women’s economic activity. By taking the social and psychological differences between women and men into consideration, regional and state programs designed to promote sustainable development can be implemented more effectively. We conducted a study among young people in order to assess their economic activity and to identify the structure of economic activity (n=192). The questionnaire of economic activity (Zabelina E.V., Chestyunina Y.V.) was employed for the study. As a result, we found that the economic activity of young people has a gender-specific structure. Men have greater economic ambitions, they seek economic independence, dominance, and profit from economic activity. Women have a more distinct behavioral component – the desire to be active in daily activities. Women are as much interested in economic success as men, but not in being dominant, yet they want to have a financial “safety cushion”.
