STRUCTURAL SHIFT IN A CITY LABOR MARKET: GLOBALIZATION AND LOCAL EFFECTS

Researchers are getting more and more interested in labor market reactions of local territories to world crises. As a rule, such research is conducted using only data of local statistics on the basis of generalization and data analysis of a labor market. The assessment of the influence of national and regional policy, reorganizations of branch structure was possible only indirectly on the basis of value judgment. A research objective is to prove that by means of analysis of structural shifts it is possible to assess consequences of 2008 global crisis on city labor markets, to assess quantitatively the influence of four components: three levels of territorial country division and to allocate the influence of a branch environment in the conditions of globalization. Research tasks are: to prove the expediency of model application of structural shifts to achieve the goal; to adapt an analysis model of structural shifts to study the phenomena in a city labor market due to the introduction of a local factor; to collect statistical data on 28 large Russian cities during 2009-2014; to carry out calculations, to formulate conclusions and recommendations. According to statistical data, our research will enable to prove that large cities are the most sensitive to crisis influence in the conditions of globalization, they quickly react to policy changes; productivity of governmental measures depends on the effective work of local government; this research will encourage us to pay attention to that fact that current global recession is a turning point for local government.
