The Current Labor Market in the USSR
USSR labor-resources management policy has for many decades been based not on the interests of man but on needs determined by the general orientation of our economy toward predominantly extensive growth. It was subordinate to the task of overcoming the manpower shortage, of finding additional sources of manpower for filling a growing number of jobs. This led to the virtually total exhaustion of labor resources and the excessive involvement in the national economy of women and pension-age persons with a limited capacity for work. At the end of the 1980s, working women comprised over 50 percent of the entire work force in the national economy, and pension-age persons, approximately 7 percent.
