This paper investigates worker flows in Russia. Information on elapsed durations of job tenure from the 1994-1996 Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) and from retrospective work history responses to the Institute for Labor Relations Research (ISITO) 1998 household survey is used. Competing risks models for durations of job tenure with multiple destination states are estimated. Patterns of transitions between sectors and to non-employment are identified for different demographic groups. Rates of worker flows and direct job- to-job transitions are found to be very high in comparison with Western European and other transition countries. These results contradict the commonly- accepted proposition that substantial declines in real wages have substituted for the reallocation of workers in Russia.
