quality of employment, deprivation of quality of employment, index approach, Russia, working conditions, RLMS HSEAbstract
The article is devoted to the multidimensional measurement of employment quality based on data from population surveys. The authors test an index approach to measuring the quality of employment, integrating its three dimensions (work income, stability of employment, and employment conditions) using a set of corresponding indicators for each of them. The calculations are carried out on data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey — Higher School of Economics (RLMS HSE). The aggregated coefficient (index) of deprivation of employment quality which varies from 0 to 1 is estimated at 0.139. That is, on average, the position Russian workers is below the threshold of 0.5 when considering the three dimensions of employment quality considered. Within the study, the authors also calculate the coefficients of prevalence and intensity of deprivation in the quality of employment that make up the index.
Applying this index approach to different age, gender, and educational groups, the authors obtaine results that, on the one hand, confirming existing knowledge on gaps in the quality of employment of various social and demographic groups, and on the other hand, providing a new perspective on the problem. The design of the index and the meaningful interpretability of the values allow it to be positioned as a complement to existing approaches to assessing various characteristics of employment.
