Labour markets are a central element of any transition from planned economy to market-oriented system. This groundbreaking book examines the plight of Russian workers and employers during the first decade of post-Soviet reforms. The authors argue that higher-than-expected labour market flexibility early in the transition provided an important cushion for workers who would have been displaced with little recourse to social protection. However, over time, this flexibility reduced pressure for enterprise restructuring and accommodated policy drift. Although many workers were quite mobile, often this translated into a loss of human capital for older enterprises_even potentially viable ones_and to OchurningO in the labour market, accompanied by only limited restructuring. There was little job creation, labour hoarding persisted, and many workers saw their wages eroded by inflation and late payment of wages. The authors show this situation was largely the result of insufficient structural reforms, poor institutional development, and misplaced incentives. First providing an overview of the economic situation, key labour market trends, and the institutional situation during the 1990s, the book then reviews labour market dynamics. The authors assess changes in OoldO jobs at former state enterprises and evaluate OnewO job creation, mostly in private businesses. They examine the evolution of wages and the availability of social protection to workers. A special thematic section considers the political economy of labour market policy that brought the ORussian approachO to labour market adjustment to life. The conclusion presents an integrated picture of the Russian labour market in the aftermath of the early transition period and highlights the implications of the experience for current policy.

Economic reform in post-Soviet Russia created not only a devastating decline in living standards, but also widespread insecurity and uncertainty. This book is the first to analyse the situation from a gendered perspective, shedding new light on the way in which Russians are coping with the transformation of the labour market. The book examines gender differences in responses to economic reform, and considers the implications of these for the labour market outcomes and wider well-being of men and women during transition. Based on original research carried out by an experienced team of sociologists, the book analyses the journeys of 240 men and women through the turbulent Russian labour market of 1999-2001. It includes chapters on: *the way gender norms inherited from the Soviet era have influenced responses to transition *sex segregation and discrimination in the labour market *gender differences in work orientations and behaviour *who benefits from networks *which life events are most likely to initiate downward economic trajectories.

Book Synopsis New Forms of Employment and Household Survival Strategies in Russia by : Simon Clarke
Download or read book New Forms of Employment and Household Survival Strategies in Russia written by Simon Clarke and published by Centre for Comparative Labour Studies University of Warwick. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
Clarke (sociology, U. of Warwick, England) draws on data from statistical surveys and case studies collected within the framework of a large-scale collaborative research program by development agencies on the restructuring of labor and employment in Russia. He reviews the historical context and tackles theoretical issues before providing a detailed analysis of the development of the labor market through the interaction of strategies by employers and employees. Two more volumes are expected to emerge from the study, on the segmentation of the Russian labor market and on household survival strategies, presumably during those long months or years when workers are not being paid.

The papers of a dozen contributors, the majority Russian, converge on a crucial aspect of the democratic and economic transition period: the impact of stabilization and structural adjustment on the formation of a labor market. Labor market rigidities pose a threat to this experiment's success. The papers, derived from a 1996 conference on the Russian labor market held at the University of Warwick, address such areas as: labor market features and problems, enterprise restructuring, the vulnerability of women's employment, views of the registered unemployed, and case studies. Tables and figures augment the text. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

As in all of Russia's earlier economic crises, wage flexibility has become the main mechanism of the labor market's adaptation to the current crisis. As a result of the high rate of inflation observed in late 2014 - early 2015, real wages dropped by 9.5%, although nominal wages remained unchanged. The considerable reduction in labor costs made it possible for employers to abstain from cutting jobs, due to which the rise in the unemployment rate was utterly insignificant.

Russiaâ (TM)s transition towards a market economy in the early 1990s called for new approaches to the regulation of employment relations in the post-Soviet period in order to strike a balance between employersâ (TM) interests and employeesâ (TM) rights in changed conditions. The adoption of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation (LC RF) in 2001 contributed to solving the issue only partly, as, in reality, it was passed as a compromise between different political forces, and consists of both provisions which can be implemented in the new context of the market economy and restrictions inherited from the planned economy. The recent and ever-changing socio-economic conditions, and the increasing complexity of the employer-employee relationship, which is a result of both globalization and technological progress, required the further development of Russian employment legislation. This resulted in substantial amendments being made to the original LC RF in 2006, with the majority of its provisions being profoundly revised. Nevertheless, a thorough analysis of the changes currently under way shows that many aspects concerning employment relations have still not been addressed sufficiently. The papers collected in the present volume of the ADAPT Labour Studies Book Series consider the recent developments of the legal regulation of employment relations â " as well as some closely related aspects â " from a historical and comparative perspective, in order to provide some insights into these issues and to examine current challenges.
