Chapter 8 in Gender, Work and Wages in the Soviet Union, 2001, pp 237-248 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the USSR, secrecy prevailed about any facts of Soviet life, which contradicted the officially sanctioned picture. Officially ‘The Woman Question’ had been ‘solved’ in the 1930s. Why allow research and publication on a problem which ought not to exist and run the risk of revealing that it did? This is one reason why Western research on women, work and wages in the USSR suffered from such poor availability of data. Another problem was that Soviet sociological research rarely included multivariate, quantitative analysis and that there were often problems of non-random sampling.
