Why do Russian Firms Use Fixed-Term and Agency Work Contracts? [electronic resource] / Pourquoi les entreprises russes utilisent les contrats de travail à durée déterminée et de l'Agence ? Larisa Smirnykh and Andreas Wörgötter = Pourquoi les entreprises russes utilisent les contrats de travail à durée déterminée et de l'Agence ? / Larisa Smirnykh et Andreas Wörgötter - Paris : OECD Publishing, 2013. - 34 p. ; 21 x 29.7cm. - OECD Economics Department Working Papers, no.1014 18151973 ; . - OECD Economics Department Working Papers, no.1014. .
This study looks into the use of fixed term contracts and agency work in Russia during and shortly after the crisis 2009-10 with the help of an enterprise survey. The results of variance analysis show that the use of fixed-term or agency work contracts is not uniform across sectors, size and skill requirements. Probit analysis reveals that the use of fixed term contracts also in-creases the likelihood of using agency work, but not the other way around. The increase of tem-porary and agency work contracts increases the turnover on the labour market and contributes to an increase in dualisation, but may also help to prevent a larger increase in unemployment during crisis periods.
