In the conditions of strengthening the influence of globalization in 2009 2013; aggravation of competition on the world market there is an expansion of part-time employment practice (in similar conditions every fifth employee works in EC and every fourth employee works in the Eastern Europe countries); experts expect further reduction of a share of secured employees from 75-80% up to 50%, and also periods of full-time employment which will lead to reduction of deduction means for social security. Contrary to the existing in the scientific literature point of view, labor market of Russia is not an exception. In 2013 a step backward was evident as tool for labor market regulation. Federal budget ceased its funding of regional programs of employment support, shifting responsibility and expenses to regional budgets. There is some logic in it: general inefficiency of economic policy in the country could not but leading to reduction of social expenses in all directions. Economic stagnation strengthened negative phenomena and characteristics of the Russian labor market: non-transparency; a large-scale shadow sector; poor social guarantees; low level of controlling mechanisms and tools of regulation.
