Regional Inequality and Branch Employment in Russia Between 1990 and 1995

Abstract

This article is based on 1990-95 data on the number of workers in 14 branches of the economy for most of Russia's regional divisions. This was a period during which the total labour force shrank substantially, but change was clearly uneven across branches. Branches that grew were likely to show an increase in the concentration of workers in a limited number of regions, that is, growing regional inequality. A closer look at the important area of credit, finance and insurance revealed the extremely favourable position of Moscow and St Petersburg. Limited data on gender differences suggest that, as in the past, men appear to benefit more from change than do women.
