The Labor Market in the USSR in the Transition Period
There are those who believe that the transition to a market economy must be made in such a way and at such a tempo as will preclude the appearance of even a minuscule number of the unemployed. On the other hand, the idea that a rapid transition to a market will inevitably lead to a very high level of unemployment is actively being drummed into the public consciousness. This is why all economic-stabilization and market-transition programs that have been discussed and adopted (or rejected) in the last one and one-half yearsâthe government's Ryzhkov-Abalkin program, the Shatalin-Iavlinskii 500-day program, the Pavlov anticrisis programâhave been carefully scrutinized as potential generators of mass unemployment.
