Description:
<jats:p>The article presents an analysis of the dynamics of the number of persons outside the labour force, the calculated economic burden of the population and the economic burden of the employed in some CIS countries and in the regions of the Russian Federation. In the CIS countries, the greatest economic burden was once observed in Armenia, although in subsequent years it significantly decreased, as a result of reduction in the unemployment rate. The trend of reducing the economic burden in Uzbekistan and the relatively stable situation in Kazakhstan are noted. In the Russian Federation, the economic burden of the population has been decreasing, but significant regional differentiation remains. The minimum values of the economic burden are noted in the Chukotka and Yamalo-Nenets districts, in the Magadan region, and the maximum values are in the Republic of Adygea and in the Kurgan region.</jats:p>
