Abstract

In July 2019, an ethnosociological study on the topic: Labor and economic life in the Republics of the North-Caucasian Federal District of the Russian Federation was carried out by the staff of the Center for the Study of Border Regions of ISPI FISIS RAS. In a study in the Chechen Republic, 200 respondents and 10 experts were interviewed. The experts were scientists - sociologists and demographers, lawyers and civil servants. The following aspects of the labor and economic activities of citizens were investigated: the importance of labor, satisfaction with the level of remuneration, the ability to realize one’s creative potential, as well as intellectual abilities and labor skills, opportunities for expanding one's professional horizons. The attitude of citizens of the republic to such realities of modernity as the need for the development of new knowledge and skills, self-employment, individual and collective labor, extended working hours and overtime work is studied. Part of the study concerned the issues of gender stereotype of labor, the degree of women's involvement in the economic life of the republic, the impact of mothers' employment on the situation in families. The concept of “labor” was considered from two points of view: both as the main source of replenishment of the family budget, and as a way of social and professional self-realization. The phenomenon of unemployment is considered separately: to what extent it is prevalent in the region, what measures are preferred by citizens to prevent job loss.
