ABSTRACT

The study focused on assessing the work, family and personal life parameters of men who switched to remote work during the COVID-19 
pandemic. For this purpose, a survey was conducted using the author’s methodology, the results of which were compared with similar data 
for women also working remotely. According to the results, the transition to remote work did not have a significant impact on the productivity 
and income of respondents. Among the positive changes are savings in travel time, the ability to combine work with household chores and 
flexible planning of working hours. However, negative aspects have also been identified, such as difficulties in separating work and personal 
time, difficulties with motivation and concentration, as well as lack of communication with colleagues and problems with organizing the work 
space at home. Particularly noticeable are the differences in respondents’ answers depending on the presence of children and belonging to 
different job categories of employees. Men with children under 14 were more likely to have positive attitudes toward spending more time with 
their children, but had difficulty concentrating on work tasks. It can be noted that the success of adaptation to a new work format depends 
on the employee’s self-organization skills, as well as psychosocial factors. For some, working outside the office is an opportunity to spend 
more time with family, and for others it is an opportunity for concentration and solitude; in some cases there was a lack of social component. 
However, it is possible to level out the shortcomings and limitations, and this depends on the efforts of both the employees themselves, 
including those aimed at reducing gender stereotypes, and on the active position of the employer.

ABSTRACT

The study analyses the profiles of the self-employed and platform workers in Russia to gain a better understanding of the similarities and 
dissimilarities between these two groups, to assess the socio-economic risks these group face and identify ways of mitigating those risks. 
The profiles of the self-employed and platform workers are understood here as characteristics of the composition of these groups in terms 
of socio-demographic groups that they incorporate/ The study uses data from the Federal Tax Service of Russia, Russian Committee for 
Statistics (workforce surveys, survey of the living conditions); own survey; and interviews with digital platform CEOs. The use of different 
sources of data has allowed to expand the list of indicators that characterize the special features of the self-employed and platform workers. Some of these characteristics have been described for the first time for instance, the poverty rate, duration of platform employment,etc. This, and also the new knowledge concerning the two employment forms represent the input of this study into the applied research. 
The spatial distribution of the self-employed and platform workers across regions and territories showed a high proportion of these forms of employment in big cities, as well as in the southern and the North Caucuses regions of Russia. A comparison of various databases showed that a large proportion of the self-employed and platform workers are engaged in the service sector. It also showed the younger age of the members of these two groups that that of the remaining workforce and their higher satisfaction with their health status. The share of persons without vocational training or those who work outside the profession for which they were trained among the self-employed and platform workers is higher than among the hired workforce. These groups are much more likely to have non-standard working hours. Data from different sources indicate that the financial positions of the self-employed and platform workers are not much different form one another. Among the self-employed, more than half are quite satisfied with their earnings (which may indicate that self-employment is a free choice), 
but the rate of satisfaction with job security is lower than that of hired personnel. The results allow to compare the profiles of self-employed 
and platform workers in Russia and with those of respective workers in other countries.

ABSTRACT

During 2023, the Russian State Social University conducted research work on the analysis of the system of state support for family, 
motherhood and childhood in Russia, as well as in the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 
in the post-Soviet space, as well as in the BRICS and BRICS+ member states. The purpose of this article is: firstly, a brief summary of 
the results obtained and, secondly, the formation of recommendations for improving the Russian practice of state support for the family, 
motherhood and childhood. The authors analyzed in detail the legal, financial and organizational principles of policy in the field under study, 
separately presenting the unique Russian experience of introducing maternal (family) capital. The analysis made it possible to establish that 
state support and protection of the family, motherhood and childhood is implemented through tools that differ in terms of functions, forms and 
directions of action. However, the use of these tools within the framework of strategic planning documents is insufficiently comprehensive 
and does not have a single goal setting. In this regard, it seems reasonable to combine and implement all existing instruments of state 
support for the family, motherhood and childhood within the framework of an independent national project. It is also advisable to study the 
issue of the system of practical implementation of this policy in the structure of a special state institution.
