Abstract
In order to outline the problem of unemployment in Russia, the authors calculate the natural rate of unemployment by consecutively estimating the optimal number of employed and economically active population. For estimation of optimal values modified Hodrick–Prescott filter was used. The results show that the natural rate of unemployment in Russia in 1994–1997 was stable around 12–12, 5%, and decreased to 8, 1% by 2003. In addition, before 1998 the actual unemployment was significantly lower than the natural rate and currently practically equals it.
