The impact of labour remuneration, inequality and poverty on the work motivation of the Bulgarian population is examined. The focus is placed on determining such levels of labour income that would stimulate the employed and their professional realization. The results show the following: that wages are а weak incentive among employees; that dissatisfaction with the level of remuneration is high; that the age and the education structure of the population have a significant impact on work motivation; and that inequality and poverty have little impact on economic activity.
