11 Introduction The official Soviet ideology contends that socialism is not only completely different from capitalism, but also in all respects (i.e. socially, economically, politically, culturally, and morally) superior to it. In order to substantiate this claim, the ideology cites a long list of achievements, one of them being that while unemployment is an endemic feature of capitalism, socialism abolishes it entirely and once and for all. If the term 'unemployment' denotes exclusively open unemployment of the registered kind or the dole, then the assertion is fully justified, because in the Soviet Union the payment of unemployment benefits was stopped as early as October On top of that, over the years the Soviet regime has succeeded in mobilizing for participation in the social economy the vast majority of able-bodied men and women of working age. While open unemployment of the registered kind is absent and the labour force participation rate is high, open unemployment of the unregistered kind has not disappeared. In addition, there is chronic and general overmanning as well as voluntary and involuntary employment below skill level, i.e. underutilization of employed persons in terms of both working time and educational qualifications. Although underutilization of employed persons keeps open unemployment down, it has a number of adverse consequences, which should not be overlooked. Amongst other things it contributes to slack work discipline, low labour productivity, divorce of rewards from performance, low real wages, inflation, and shortages of consumer goods and services. Thus, from the point of view of the situation in the labour market or the relation between the supply of and demand for labour the official Soviet economy may be characterized as a high-employment one; from that of the utilization of the employed labour force or the relation between labour input and the output of economic values it may be characterized as a low-productivity one; and from that of the income received by individuals for playing the role of employed persons it may be characterized as a low-incentive one. Since this economy is centrally planned and managed, it raises the question of non-political compliance and deviance. Since it does not xiii

12 xiv Introduction meet the expectations of individuals, families, enterprises and other role-players, it raises the question of the unofficial or second economy. And since it involves in social production most able-bodied men and women of working age, it raises the question of the time available for domestic chores and leisure. As outlined above, the subject-matter of the book will be examined at four analytically distinct but in practice interrelated levels, namely, the normative, the institutional, the behavioural, and the attitudinal. The reason lies in the author's belief that their combination leads to a more comprehensive understanding of work, employment and unemployment in the Soviet Union than any single one could provide separately. In general terms, the first level pertains to the sphere of official values and commitments, ideological precepts, legal and other formal provisions, and the patterns of behaviour and interaction desired or expected by the regime. The second refers to sets of interdependent positions and roles normatively prescribed by the regime and integrated by it so as to make up a social system. The third covers the observed patterns of behaviour and interaction on the part of role-players. And the fourth denotes the role-players' learned and more or less generalized and affective tendencies to respond in a particular manner to ideas, values, objects, other role-players, events, structures, processes, and situations. More specifically, the inquiry will include an examination of the Soviet regime's views on work, employment and unemployment, of its employment and anti-unemployment policies and measures, and of how it regulates behaviour on the job and interaction within and between formal organizations. The relevant aspects of its demographic, wage and social policies will also be reviewed. Since these policies are pursued by the regime within an economic system that is a variant of command socialism, it will be necessary to take into consideration its nature, functioning and performance. Of the various indicators used by economists to measure its performance, attention will be paid especially to the labour force participation rate, the unemployment rate, efficiency, the population's standard of living, and the distribution of income. Both the nature of the Soviet economic system and the regime's policies have an impact on the behaviour of Soviet citizens, whether employed or not, albeit not always in the manner intended by the regime. Therefore, overt behaviour will be divided into conformist (complying with centrally promulgated formal norms) and deviant

13 Introduction xv (evading and violating centrally promulgated formal norms), and the latter will in turn be subdivided into typical (chronic and general) and atypical (occasional and sporadic). However, the behaviour of Soviet citizens has not only systemic but also attitudinal causes. On the basis of the available evidence it will be argued that attitudes are to be found which the regime dislikes and tries to stamp out; that the population perceives a gap between its expectations and the reality it faces; and that there is a conflict between individual, family, group, enterprise, departmental and local interests on the one hand and those of society, as defined by the regime, on the other. Before turning to the Soviet case, Part I will provide a theoretical framework. Types of economic system will be discussed, as well as forms of unemployment and the oft-neglected difference between work and employment. It will be proposed that while neither market capitalism nor command socialism escapes unemployment, different forms of unemployment prevail under each. Against this background, Part II presents a history of the Soviet case between the October Revolution and the mid-1980s, with special emphasis on continuity and change, whereas Part III approaches the Soviet case systematically, dealing in detail with open unemployment of the unregistered kind, overmanning, the use of educational qualifications, and the supply of and demand for labour. Since the Soviet Union faces a number of problems and experiences various tensions, the concluding chapter will ask what the party leadership wants to do (the question of preferences), what it can do (the question of constraints), and what it will do (the question of response). It should be remembered, of course, that any decision made by the party leadership in response to the perceived problems and tensions still leaves unanswered the question of its implementation and that of its intended and unintended consequences. The author would like to express his thanks to Michael Kaser and Archie Brown of St Antony's College, Oxford, as well as to the readers of the draft version. He also wishes to record his gratitude to the librarians of St Antony's College, the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Finally, and most importantly, he must thank his wife Barbara for her unceasing support. J. L. PORKET
