Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of labor relations in Russia. These relations acquire the features of precarious employment, since they give rise to an unstable position of the employee in the labor market. In the work, indicators of precarious employment were designed, allowing to analyze the extent of this phenomenon in Russia. These indicators are: presence/absence of employment contract, type of employment, duration of working time, place of work, type of relationship with the employer. On the basis of selected indicators, precarious employment is: work on the basis of a verbal agreement, work on fixed-term contracts up to 1 year, seasonal and occasional employment, underemployment, under-employment, overtime work, additional work, extra labor. Based on the selected indicators, based on the data of Federal State Statistics Service, the Russian Monitoring of the Economic Situation and Public Health of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE), an all-Russian sociological survey organized by the RSUH, an analysis of the extent of precarious employment in Russia was conducted. It was revealed that from one third to one half of all Russians aged 15 to 72 years work in conditions of unstable employment. The data obtained indicate the prevalence of precarious employment in Russia.
