Research at CLMS

Center for Labour Market Studies focuses on studying systemic properties of the Russian labour market. When facing shocks of various origin, the labour market adjusts by changing cost of labour and time worked, not by changing employment or unemployment. This has various and profound implications for wages, employment, inequality and skills.

Original studies of the CLMS researchers are presented in numerous journal articles and papers, and in 6 monographs (published by HSE Publishing House):

The Russian Labour Market Through the Prism of Demography, 2021
Mobility and Stability in the Russian Labour Market, 2017
In the Shadow of Regulation: Informality on the Russian Labour Market, 2014
Russian Worker: Education, Occupation, Skills, 2011 
Wages in Russia: Evolution and Differentiation, 2007
Non-standard Employment in the Russian Economy, 2006

In present time, the CLMS focuses on studying structural changes in the Russian labour market, and on demand for skills.

The CLMS edits and publishes the series of preprints “Labour Market Issues”.
