Social effects and structure of unemployment in Russia

"Social effects and structure of unemployment in Russia" (by Leonid Gorgon and Edouard Klopov) studies current unemployment in Russia parallel to othe r synchronously occurring transformative processes in the country. Thus, it becomes clear that a basic reason for relatively slow rates of unemploymen t growth is a considerable reduction of incomes for a majority of Russian e arners. it was found as well that similarity of material and social conditi ons of the majorities in both unemployed and employed sectors of populace d id not lead to a massive marginalisation of the unemployed, though a partia l marginalisation of this group cannot be written off.
