Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study on the level and quality of employment in the generational groups of the working-age population (youth, middle age and old age) and its impact on its distribution, considering the correspondence of the per capita income of their households to social standards. The research is based on the authors' developments in the field of tools for identifying and assessing precarious employment and income inequality. The empirical basis of the study is the data of the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (2019). The paper reveals the level of employment and its quality in terms of the prevalence of indicators of precarious employment. The authors distribute generational groups by per capita income in households, considering the availability of employment and indicators of precarious employment. The results of the analysis offer the representation of the working-age population in the strata characterized by an unfavorable financial situation due to the peculiarities of their employment and other sources of income. The conclusions of the study aim at limiting the scale of precarious employment in generational groups, at increasing the income from employment and the per capita income of their households. The prospects for future research are related to the intergenerational comparative characteristics of the standard of living of generational groups in Russia, considering a wider range of criteria for the quality of employment, as well as the distribution of the households' assets (income, savings, property, etc.) and subjective assessment of the results of labor activity at different stages of the economic cycle.
