The density matrix of a black hole is constructed. On an example of induced gravity it is shown that the black hole entropy has a statistical mechanical meaning of the entropy of all dynamical degrees of freedom of matter fields that remain independent after resolution of effective constraint equations. This statement is independent of the particular variant of underlying microscopic field theory since it is based only on the low-energy asymptotic of the corresponding effective action.
