Влияние владения компьютерными технологиями на поиск работы, занятость и заработную плату
The paper considers microeconomic returns of computer skills and discusses the effects resulting from qualitative shifts in human capital. The research is based on the Russian longitudinal monitoring survey (RLMS) for the years 2000—2005. Empirical part of the paper analyses influence of computer skills on the effectiveness of job search, probability to be employed and wage and determines the factors of complexity and variety of computer skills acquired. The paper has found that there is microeconomic return on computer skills and abilities to work with a computer increase wages and the probability to be employed, to find a job. The second important result is that return on computer skills is both “technological” and “selective” and occurred to be a bonus on higher general skills of an individuals.

Using panel data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey for 2006–2014, the paper provides an empirical analysis of reservation wages in Russia. The sample includes non-employed individuals wishing to get a job (both searchers and non-searchers). Comparison of subjective estimates of reservation wages with various objective indicators of actual wages implies that wage aspirations of majority of Russian non-employed individuals are overstated. However their wage expectations are rather flexible and decrease rapidly as search continues that prevents high long-term unemployment. Analysis of determinants of reservation wages shows that personal characteristics, the household income, unemployment duration and characteristics of local labor markets are important factors that affect reservation wage setting. The findings also indicate that non-employed individuals with higher reservation wages have higher probability of re-employment and receive higher wages on their new jobs. A general conclusion is that Russian workers set their reservation wages in economically rational way taking into account their real prospects in the labor market.

Using data from RLMS-HSE and the survey of employers, we measured the scale of internet use by employees for job-search and by employers for recruiting and the factors influencing them. The spread of internet technology had a major impact on the search process in the Russian labour market: half of workers and three-quarters of employers used the internet in 2014. In general, characteristics of employees and workplaces were matching. The internet was more actively used by workers with higher or specialized education from big cities. Amid companies, the internet use was more often in the retail sector, among privately owned and financially successful firms. Internet search complements other search channels and become the second most popular channel after searching through relatives and friends.

Computers have already entered all the spheres of human activity including the process of teaching and studying. Although computers will never take the place of the teacher, they are important and helpful assistants. The use of the computers is a methodical device applied in the modern approaches of teaching of any subject. But will the expenses of the computers and software be covered?

The paper examines the institute of minimum wage in developed and transition economies and in a number of the developing countries. First of all the institutional mechanism of minimum wage fixing is considered. One of the sections explores the dynamics of absolute and relative levels of minimum wage. The special attention is paid to the impact of the institute of minimum wage on the labour market. The author considers the mechanism of transmission of the minimum wage increases on the employment and unemployment dynamics. The paper also contains the result of the empirical research. The experience of many countries witnesses that large increases in minimum wage levels lead to the stagnation of the employ-ment, especially of the disadvantaged groups. The negative effect is larger for the companies with higher share of labour costs and more active use of unqualified labour, that is small businesses and agricultural enterprises. One of the main conclusions is that the minimum wage is not an effective tool of the poverty reduction as the majority of the recipients live in households of average and upper average income.
