ABSTRACT

The article analyzes the main indicators of the standard of living of households with children and identifies factors that create risks of a decline in living standards. The research methodology is based on Russian statistics, including macroeconomic data, the results of a sample survey of household budgets, sample observation of population incomes and participation in social programs, comprehensive monitoring of living conditions of the population, as well as the results of monitoring studies of incomes and living standards of the Russian population. Two interrelated calculation indicators are considered as the main indicators of living standards: real disposable resources and the purchasing power of consumption expenditures (key). The study is conducted for households with different numbers of children for the period 2018–2022. It is shown that indicators of the standard of living of households with children and risk factors are differentiated based on the number of children. It was determined that real disposable resources and the level of purchasing power of consumption expenditures decreased for all types of households with children. It was revealed that all households with children were low-income in terms of purchasing power of consumption expenditures. The risk of poverty in households with 1 child was the lowest, and in households with 2 children it became alarming. Households with 3 or more children are at extremely high risk of poverty. It has been shown that among low-income households the depth of poverty in the presence of 3 or more children is the most significant. It was determined that in the period under review, households with 1 child were less likely to spend the increase in available resources on consumption, and households with 3 or more children were most likely due to insufficient resource sufficiency. The identified risk factors for living standards are grouped by their level of education – external (international level) and internal (Russian level). Within the groups, their spheres of influence are highlighted – socioeconomic, monetary, demographic. Based on the results of the study, measures were proposed to improve the situation of households with children.

ABSTRACT

The article analyses the state of the scientific discourse on the problems of employment de-standardisation under the influence of the current macro shocks formed by the increasing international sanctions pressure on Russia. The data for the analysis were the materials received by the authors of the article from the speakers who presented the results of their scientific research at the international academic discussion «Employment de-standardization in reshaping economy» on March 16, 2023 within the VII St. Petersburg International Labour Forum. To test the hypothesis that the academic discussion field is elastic in responding to current changes in the context, the texts presented by the speakers were analysed by ranking the words specific to the topic under discussion according to the frequency of their use. In order to assess the dynamics of changes in the academic discussion field, we compare the data for 2023 with data from a similar Labour Forum discussion platform in 2022. We show that researchers continue to support a wide range of issues under the theme of destandardisation of employment, including challenges of work; pay; quality of the workforce; living standards of workers' households; quality of working life and job satisfaction; telecommuting; and urban and rural employment. The discussion field (exemplified by the academic discussion in the Labour Forum) is generally elastic in its response to these changes in the context. In the absence of direct reference to the military operation and sanctions, researchers have introduced them as factors, variables, conditions of their ongoing research. The article also provides suggestions from the participants of the academic discussion to the Programme Committee of the Labour Forum.

ABSTRACT

The article is devoted to the study of current problems of youth employment in one of the regions of the Russian Federation – the Voronezh region. As a result of a retrospective analysis, the stages and features of the development of youth employment in the post-Soviet period were identified. Based on the analysis of statistical data, it was found that a tense situation has developed in the region due to a significant reduction in the number of young people, as well as their share in the total number of employed and unemployed. According to the results of a sociological survey, the features and problems of youth employment and employment in the Voronezh region have been identified. The positive aspects of the studied issues are: a high level of satisfaction with the quality of education received, preference for standard employment by young workers, the effectiveness of the mentoring institute, active and effective activity of trade union organizations of the Voronezh region in organizing work with young people. Among the problems highlighted are: insufficient scale of career guidance activities, "discrimination" based on work experience in employment, low wages. As promising areas of leveling the problems identified by the results of the study, the following are justified: improving and increasing the effectiveness of career guidance based on the development and implementation of innovative methods, characterized by the extensive use of modern information and communication technologies and taking into account the specifics of the value orientations of "generation Z" and "generation Alpha"; increasing the investment attractiveness of the regional economy and creating new high-tech jobs in order to "retain" young people in the region, as well as attracting talented youth from other regions and countries; developing and implementing tools for financial and non-financial incentives for employers to increase the wages of young workers; spreading the practice of subsidizing youth employment, including non-profit organizations, and individual entrepreneurs.

ABSTRACT

In the face of the deteriorating of internal and external challenges, issues of preserving the labor potential of local territories located far from places of attraction of resources are becoming increasingly important for Russia. It is no coincidence that one of the typical problems of our time is the compression of the developed space and the polarization of the settlement system. The purpose of this article is to analyze the features and prospects for the development of the employment sphere in the model region of Russia along the “center-periphery” axis. Due to the limited municipal statistics, the study turned to the results of an expert survey of employment service specialists of the Vologda region, conducted in April 2023. Anticipating the analysis, all districts were divided into three groups: agglomeration zone, urban periphery and rural periphery. This made it possible to reveal the relationship between the social and economic division of territories and their proximity to centers of business activity. Thus, according to experts, the periphery is distinguished not only by modest opportunities for the implementation of labor and social plans, but also by unfavorable conditions for the development of the employment sphere in general. At the same time, despite the better position, the future of the agglomeration zone is also seen mainly through the prism of negative scenarios. An important role in solving existing problems is assigned to employment offices, which provide a wide range of services for citizens and employers. And if the former refuse to seek help in finding a job due to the lack of desired vacancies and their low quality, then interaction with the latter is hindered by their own disinterest. Prospects for the development of the employment sphere in the periphery are primarily associated with the creation of new jobs, the expansion of support retention of workers, the implementation of industrial, infrastructure and socially significant projects. In turn, an increase in the efficiency of the activities of employment services can be achieved by improving working conditions, reducing the bureaucratic burden and administrative operations.

ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the results of budget reform in the cultural sector through the prism of transformations concerned with issues of employment and labour payment. Special attention is given to assessing the implementation of the May Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation of 2012 in terms of increasing wages for employees of cultural institutions. It is shown that the increase in wages for cultural employees occurred simultaneously with a reduction in the number of people employed in this area. Despite the declarative reporting of officials on the implementation of the May decrees to increase wages, in the cultural sphere these standards were met only in relation to the federal and regional segment, while in the vast majority of municipal cultural institutions the specified standard were not achieved. As a result of budget reform, employment in the cultural sector fell by more than 10% from 2012 to 2022, and wages reached 75% of the average wage in the economy, which continues to indicate the low status of professions in this field.
