Routledge Work and Welfare in the New Russia - Routledge Revivals

This landmark study, first published in 2000, examines the social and economic crisis that emerged in Russia during the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Drawing on original data and funded by the EU and ODA, the book provides an in-depth analysis of unemployment and poverty patterns in contemporary Russia, tracing the origins of Russian social policies and evaluating their implementation and effects through 2000. The research offers detailed insights into how welfare systems functioned during this period of dramatic transformation, making it an essential resource for understanding post-Soviet social policy, labour market dynamics, and the human dimensions of economic transition. This Routledge Revivals edition brings this important work back into print for scholars, researchers, and students examining Russian history, social welfare systems, and the broader context of post-communist development.
