Abstract

The present chapter explores the middle income groups regarding their employment status and place in industrial relations. According to the prior literature, once we get the evidence that certain middle income groups hold advantaged positions in the labor market—for example, more stable employment and more influential negotiation position with employers or lower unemployment risks, or they represent a group of skilled labor professions and are able to find a more interesting and promising job where human capital is in demand, we will be entitled to speak about class-based nature of the middle income groups in Russia.
