abstract: 'Using retrospective data from the Russian Education and Employment

  Survey, we examine labour market entry in Russia in terms of changes in

  horizontal gender segregation and vertical gender inequalities before

  and after the collapse of the Soviet regime in 1991. Our results provide

  evidence for horizontal gender segregation across branches of the

  economy among labour market entrants in Russia, which have been growing

  since 1991. Moreover, horizontal differences seem to be driving vertical

  gender inequalities in terms of entry into authoritative positions.

  Accounting for heterogeneity in education and the entered branch, we

  find that despite gender equality principles and full-time employment

  for women, vertical gender inequalities had already existed under the

  Soviet regime. However, these increased during the liberalization

  reforms. These growing vertical gender inequalities can be traced back

  mainly to a worsening of female chances in an economic transition,

  whereas there was no significant change for male entrants. Furthermore,

  women seem to be particularly disadvantaged among highly qualified

  entrants. We conclude that Russian female entrants have not fully

  converted their educational advantage into occupational opportunities

  since the transition from socialism to a liberalized market economy.'
