GEOGRAPHY OF YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT IN RUSSIA
Abstract
An empirical analysis of geographical features of the distribution of youth unemployment in Russia was performed. The economic, demographic and social determinants of interregional differences are described. The highest rate of youth unemployment is typical of agricultural and raw-material regions, while the lowest is recorded in the regions with developed services sector. The results of the evaluation of regression equations show that the creation of new high-tech jobs with decent working conditions and remuneration, and the diversification of employment structure contribute to reducing the rate of youth unemployment in the regions of Russia. At the same time, the increasing employment in the agricultural sector and the demographic pressure on the labor market increase the risks of its growth. The models constructed for a group of agricultural regions demonstrate positive correlation between the rate of youth unemployment and the share of people younger than the working age in the structure of population. The increasing share of people with secondary vocational education reduces the rate of youth unemployment in the rawmaterial regions. In the regions with a higher share of manufacturing industries, the increasing share of households having access to the Internet is another factor reducing the rate of youth unemployment. It is concluded that the geographical features of the distribution of youth unemployment are to a large extent determined by a set and combination of parameters characterizing the population of the region, the local labor market and the level of economic development.
