Routledge Work and Welfare in the New Russia (Routledge Revivals) Book

Explore a detailed historical analysis of social change in the former Soviet Union with Work and Welfare in the New Russia. Published as part of the Routledge Revivals series, this book provides a deep look into the human crisis that emerged during the 1990s. It uses original data made possible by the political and social shifts occurring in Russia during that decade. Based on an EU and ODA funded project, this text examines the patterns of contemporary unemployment and poverty. It traces the origins of Russian social policies, looking at their specific aims, how they were implemented, and the actual effects they had on the population up to the year 2000. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the transition of social systems and the economic realities of the post-Soviet era.
