Abstract: Unlike most other transition economies in Europe, in Russia correlation between employment dynamics and GDP dynamics has been weak, contributing to a relatively low rate of unemployment. This article seeks to explain this phenomenon by investigating a combination of inefficient enforcement of labour regulations and the emergence of a vast informal sector of the labour market, leading to the unusually broad implementation of flexible working time and flexible pay, as a critical factor in the stabilisation of employment in the country.
