Abstract

The employment rates for middle-aged and older men and women in Russia grew remarkably in the 2000–2010s, and the latter increased faster than the former. Possible explanations for this tendency might be the substantially higher life expectancy of women in Russia, the overall growth of female employment, and a decline in women’s traditional responsibilities, such as caregiving for grandchildren and disabled relatives. Besides, the 2000–2010s was the period of economic growth in Russia when the overall number of jobs was increasing. Although, in general, the employment rates of people aged 45 and over have been rising, the share of employed people aged 60 and over was less stable in its growth because of changes in pension benefits, as well as on the situation in the labour market. The empirical part of this chapter aims to explore the gender differences in the determinants of employment and labour mobility in middle and older age in Russia. The study uses the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE) data (2010–2017). Gender differences in the influence of current work experience, economic factors, and some job characteristics on employment in middle and older age are revealed. Industry, occupations, particular aspects of job satisfaction are significant for labour mobility in middle and older age in Russia, but their impact differs for men and women.
