Influence of Key Macroeconomic Factors on the Dynamics of Employment of the Population of the Russian Federation

The article analyzes the influence of such macrostructural factors as final demand and a group of structural and technological factors on the dynamics of employment of the population of the Russian Federation on the basis of the input–output balance. The latter includes changes in labor productivity and production technologies, which is reflected in changes in the elements of the matrix of direct cost coefficients. Estimates of the contribution of these factors to the dynamics of employment during periods of transformational recession (1991–1998), subsequent recovery growth (1999–2014) and stagnation (2015–2017) are calculated.
