Abstract
Adaptation strategies of rural dwellers behavior on the labor market in the regions of the Central Chernozem area are analyzed for 15 rural settlements of theTambovandKurskoblasts. Research is based on the microdata of the 2010 All-Russian population census, quantitative data collected in regional and settlement administrations, 56 expert interviews with representatives of local authorities, business andChernozem region is due to the reduction of employment in the agricultural sector because of the intensification of production and the growth of territorial mobility of the population. The main result of transformation is the formation of steadily diversifying labor markets with a small share of real production sector. The budgetary sector and services becomes the main sphere of official employment. The prevailing strategy of rural dwellers adaptation to the changes of labor market is the informal employment and commuting. Just few people are engaged in and get income from their private plot activities. Growth of labor and territorial mobility decreases the role of seasonal work in favor of the expansion of commuting. Other strategies include the widespread dependency or working another job to supplement the income. Introduction of numerous adaptation strategies results in the change of the rural conduct of life, i.e. withdrawal from maintaining the traditional subsidiary farming.
