Abstract

This article looks at the mechanism of formation of new institutional traps in the labour market under conditions of digitalisation of the economy. In particular, the effects of coordination, training and pairing, as well as cultural inertia and lobbying, are analysed as structural elements of institutional traps, which in the labour market create prerequisites for the consolidation of specific social norms that reduce the overall efficiency of the economic system. It proposes that, when all the effects are implemented synchronously, they complement each other in such a way as to contribute to the formation of institutional traps in the labour market when digital technologies are introduced. This leads to an escalation of risks in the labour market, against the background of an aggravated contradiction between supply and demand, leading to a self-sustaining structural imbalance associated with the introduction of digitalisation tools. The article draws attention to inertia in the process of adaptation of public institutions, which prevents the optimal institutional set up being reached, as there is a contradiction between the previously formed model of behaviour of economic agents and the system of management.

数字化对劳动力市场的影响:以俄罗斯为例

本文着眼于经济数字化条件下劳动力市场新制度陷阱的形成机制。特别分析了协调、培训和配对以及文化惰性和游说的影响，认为它们是体制陷阱的结构因素，在劳动力市场上，这些陷阱为巩固降低经济制度整体效率的具体社会规范创造了先决条件。它提出，当所有的影响同步实施时，它们以这样一种方式相互补充，当引入数字技术时，它们有助于在劳动力市场形成制度陷阱。在供需矛盾加剧的背景下，这导致劳动力市场风险升级，导致与数字化工具引入相关的自我维持的结构性失衡。由于原有的经济主体行为模式与管理体制之间存在矛盾，公共机构在适应过程中存在惯性，阻碍了最优制度设置的实现。

期刊介绍： Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation aims to: -Provide a single home for articles which specifically address issues relating to the changing international division of labour and the restructuring of work in a global knowledge-based economy. -Bring together the results of empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative, with theoretical analyses in order to inform the development of new interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the restructuring of work, organisational structures and labour in a global context. -Be global in scope, with a particular emphasis on attracting contributions from developing countries as well as from Europe, North America and other developed regions. -Encourage a dialogue between university-based researchers and their counterparts in international and national government agencies, independent research institutes, trade unions and civil society as well as other policy makers. Subject to the requirements of scholarly peer review, it is open to submissions from contributors working outside the academic sphere and encourages an accessible style of writing in order to facilitate this goal. -Complement, rather than compete with, existing discipline-based journals. -Bring to the attention of English-speaking readers relevant articles originally published in other languages.
