Abstract
The article considers the disparities in the development of labour markets in the Volga Federal District. The method for the regions’ typology is proposed, which is based on the analysis of the employed population concentration in the sectors of economy using the index of localization, which allows presenting the labour market of the Volga Federal District as the sum of four segments: agroindustrial, industrial, mixed and service. The comparison of the obtained typology of the regional labour markets with the labour market indicators was carried out based on the analysis of unemployment level and duration, levels of employment and economic activity. According to the results of this comparison, the regions which belong to the group with industrial labour market have the best positions at the labour market. Agroindustrial regions and regions with mixed labour markets, where the share of employment in the primary sector of the economy is large enough, have the greatest level of unemployment and the lowest level of employment. Thus, if the structure of regional labour demand has a large share of agricultural labour force than all other things being equal the risk of unemployment in the region increases.
