Abstract

The article focuses on individual income mobility among Russians in the years 2009–2017, as measured objectively and subjectively. As in previous periods of post-Soviet development, income mobility in Russia remains high. In comparison to member countries of OECD, income mobility is higher, while the level of persistent well-being is lower. Subjective assessments of one’s income situation are more volatile than objective positions, with persistent subjective well-being almost non-existent. Subjective mobility does not correlate closely with its objective counterpart. Persistent well-being is determined by a combination of class and non-class factors, including labor market position, dependency burden, and health status
