LABOR MOBILITY OF THE POPULATION IN RUSSIA (ACCORDING TO THE 2010 ALLRUSSIAN CENSUS DATA)
Abstract
During the period of socio-economic transformation labor mobility is a significant factor, which smoothes over negative effects in the economy. The period of 1990s – 2000s was accompanied by economic decline and unemployment growth in Russian regions: a lot of enterprises and even whole branches cut the staff or were liquidated. Economic downfall and poor prospects of employment forced people to take on the adaptive behavior. There were two main type of such behavior: relocation to another territory or reorientation to external labor market from the same place of residence. Traditional types of «outside» labor mobility, such as seasonal work and commuting, became wide-spread. A lot of factors influence the possibility of this type of adaptation: spatial disposition of settlements, remoteness from the main labor market centers and the level of average wages, professional skill level, path dependency etc. According to these factors the regions of the European part ofRussiawith relatively highdensity of big cities got an advantage.Moscow,Saint Petersburgand surrounding regions became the main acceptors of labor migrants. They absorbed some excessive labor force, thus helping to alleviate the crisis in local labor markets. Intraregional differentiation of labor mobility was analyzed using the data of 2010 Russian census. The impact of the essential factors of labor mobility (such as population type and position relative to the regional center) on the migration intensity is determined forRussiaas a whole and its particular regions. A typology of regions based on the examined factors of labor mobility is suggested. Regions without significant correlation with these factors are clustered in a special group, which requires further investigation.
