Structural changes in employment and the quality of life of the populations of Russian million-plus cities

Аннотация

This paper considers structural changes in employment and the labor compensation fund of cities with a million-plus population, as well as changes in their role in the economy of the country and regions. It has been shown that the concentration of the population in the largest cities continues to increase, while the nature of changes in their role in manufacturing and retail trade proves to be contradictory. At the same time, Russia and other countries are characterized not so much by the outflow of industry from cities as its transformation. The problems of the social sphere of cities have also been shown.
