Abstract

The paper analyses regional variation in labour market tightness in Russia in the 1992-1998 period. Used are methods of analytical statistics: estimation of variation indicators, coefficients of correlation and asymmetry, cluster analysis. Multivariate typology of 76 federation units has been made by characteristics of labour market tightness dividing all regions into 6 classes. While in the 1st class the tightness is so vague that even the existence of this phenomenon seems doubtful, in the sixth class the whole gamut of labour market tightness indicators reach marginal values evidencing the situation of calamity. The overall conclusion is that the blatant spatial stratification of labour markets threatens with so deep disparities in national economic and social space that may eventually lead to its collapse; and to avoid it, the present priorities and liberal course made in fact in the interests of only one RF subject, that is, in the interests of Moscow, should be radically corrected. Weak signs of positive changes in interregional labour market disparities that appeared in 1998 shall not arouse illusions. The situation is unstable and the trend toward mitigation of regional contrasts inconsistent.
