Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of the study is to assess the indicators characterizing a comprehensive change in social and labor relations in Russia for the period 1992-2016 and the subsequent change in the indicators of total mortality and mortality of the working-age population. Methodology/approach. Economic analysis and grouping of empirical data, construction of dynamic series and their visualization were performed. The research period is the entire post-Soviet stage of social and labor relations development, i.e. from 1992 up to the present. Results. 1) the complex impact of the change in the state of social and labor relations on the population mortality rates and on the development of existing proven dependencies was estimated; 2) previously identified deferred impact of the income factor on the working age population mortality rate was confirmed; a similar influence of the labor conditions factor was revealed; 3) the influence of the working day's duration factor was observed; 4) the coincidence of the changes trends in the population death rate with the stages of social and labor relations transformation was confirmed: proto-transformation, partial transformation and complete transformation. Conclusions. Practitioners can use these results in developing directions to reduce mortality and improve working life quality; researchers can use these results as a basic hypothesis for determining the degree of mortality rates dependence on social and labor relations indicators.
Highlights
The mortality of the population, especially its employable part, is one of the indicators of the labor resources formation
In the present study the social and labor relations transformation is understood as the process of absorbing changes from the external environment and integrating these changes into the overall system, which leads to the emergence of new traits and principles for such a system
There are some contradictions in the interaction of the employable population and the social and labor relations system, which are caused by the inability of the old system to function in a new emerging economic system, and it leads to an increase in the social tension level and to a decrease in the employees motivation when performing labor operations
Summary
The mortality of the population, especially its employable part, is one of the indicators of the labor resources formation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global death rate for the entire population was 7.8 ‰ (78 deaths per 1000 inhabitants of the planet) in 2015. Adult population (15-60 years) expected death rate in the same year was 149 people (or 14.9 ‰) (Global, 2015). In the Russian Federation, the death probability among adult was 222 people per 1000 inhabitants in 2015. The problems of high mortality among Russians, especially at working age, continue to remain acute, despite the declining trend developed after 2006. The maximum value of this coefficient is 8.3 deaths per 1000 people of working age recorded in 2005 (Demographic, 2015). In 2013, the mortality of this age group decreased up to 5.6 ‰, and their part in the total number of deaths was 25.6% (Demographic, 2015). In 2015, these indicators decreased, respectively to 5.48 ‰ (death rate) and 23.5% (rate deceased) (Natural, 2015)
