ABSTRACT

While an extensive range of economic literature exists on the analysis of job satisfaction, research that focuses on young people remains scarce. This chapter analyses general job satisfaction among young Russian workers. The corresponding response variables are divided into five ordered categories, from “completely unsatisfied” to “completely satisfied”. Ordered logit models of job satisfaction have been estimated with individual fixed effects for a panel data analysis of young male and female Russian workers. In the final section also some policy implications are discussed.
