The Russian labour market has been hailed by some economists as
being 'perfectly flexible' because Russia has achieved enormous
employment restructuring with minimal unemployment, and by others
as plagued by rigidities since pay structures have been frozen,
inequality has increased and job creation has been negligible. Such
disagreements reflect both the lack of serious research on the
formation of a labour market in Russia and the lack of theoretical
agreement as to what constitutes a labour market. Simon Clarke
addresses these empirical and theoretical issues on the basis of
statistical survey and case study data collected within the
framework of a large-scale collaborative research programme on the
restructuring of labour and employment in Russia. The book reviews
the historical context, the statistical data and the theoretical
issues before proceeding to a detailed analysis of the development
of the labour market in the interaction of the labour market
strategies of employers and employees. The Formation of a Labour
Market in Russia will be of interest to scholars of transition
studies and labour economics, industrial relations specialists and
sociologists of labour.
