Potoki na rossijskom rynke truda: 2000 - 2012 gg.

We analyze mobility of Russian workers through the lens of major fl ows during the period of 2000-2012. The paper focuses on intensity and direction of fl ows and exploits panel micro-data from the RLMS for the corresponding period. Three simple techniques are used in this study. First, these are matrixes presenting probabilities of interstate transitions. Second, mobility indexes (first introduced by A.Shorrocks) estimate intensity of mobility and allow for cross-country comparisons. Third, we estimate dynamic multinomial logit model in order to get sense whether the current labour market state is predetermined by previous state and to estimate effects of observable individual characteristics. We note high intensity of labour fl ows and the important role of economic inactivity in cross-state reallocation of population.
