From second economy to informal sector : the Russian labor market in transition
Braithwaite, Jeanine
The evolution of the labor market in Russia is traced from its socialist antecedents to the emergence of an informal sector somewhat different from that observed in many other countries. In Russia, the informal sector to date has actually offered higher income potential than much employment in the official (state) sector, and thus employment in the informal sector has tended to correlate not with poverty, but with wealth. Thus, the informal sector has an important "safety net" aspect as it offers an alternative source of income. Although scant data preclude in-depth analysis, qualitative indicators are examined in the report.
