Understanding Twenty Years of Inequality and Poverty Trends in Russia
研究了1994年至2015年俄罗斯收入不平等和贫困下降的驱动因素,发现私营部门收入差距缩小以及养老金和公共部门收入增长是主要原因。
The distribution of income in Russia changed significantly over the past 25 years. This paper examines the factors that have been driving the fall in inequality and poverty over two recent decades in the Russian Federation. Changes in earnings from public and private sectors and pensions have been the main sources of changes in the income distribution between 1994 and 2015. Falling inequality and poverty were the result of a decrease in the dispersion of private sector earnings and an increase in the levels of pensions and public sector earnings. Neither the evolution of socio‐demographic characteristics nor the level or structure of employment alone had big impacts.
