Method of the Analysis of Gender Segregation at the Regional Labour Market

The labour markets of both a region and a country are characterized by a certain level of gender segregation. For the objective assessment of this phenomenon it is necessary to have a clear understanding of how this level changes over time, which processes at the labour market and in society facilitate the increase or decrease of gender asymmetry in the distribution of employees between economic activities and occupations and which economic consequences are caused by segregation. The questions raised are studied in the paper in terms of the dynamics of employed by the economic activities, which on the one hand reflects the desire of workers to be employed in certain activities and, on the other hand, characterizes the real employment opportunities. In order to identify the gender peculiarities of the changes in the regional employment structure, the authors suggested the methodology, based on the qualitative and quantitative approach to the assessment of the dynamics of the number of employed. The use of the index of dissimilarity allowed defining the share of employers of the same gender, which should have changed the sphere of activity provided that the employees of the other gender remain at their jobs, in order to achieve the equal distribution of men and women by economic activities. The obtained data confirm the necessity to implement the measures for the reduction of the gender segregation in the employment structure of the regional employment. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n3s7p16

ЭКОНОМЕТРИЧЕСКОЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ФАКТОРОВ РАЗВИТИЯ МАЛОГО ПРЕДПРИНИМАТЕЛЬСТВА В РЕГИОНАХ РОССИИ1

The article presents the methodological and methodical approaches to the analysis of socioeconomic factors affecting the development of small entrepreneurship in the regions of Russia. Aconstructed multiple linear regression model allowed to evaluate the impact on the small enterprises development of generalized factors that characterize different aspects of socio-economic development of the regions. It was proposed an approach based on the use of logistic regressionto assess the probability of hitting the region in the leading group by the level of small businessdevelopment (on the basis of a set of values formed by socio-economic characteristics). The comparative analysis of the correctness for the classification of the regions in terms of small business development through the application of discriminant analysis and logistic regression modelwas carried out. Taking into account the studied factors of small entrepreneurship development it is necessary to realize regional-differentiated policy for small business support and promotion.Встатьепредставленыметодологическиеиметодическиеподходыканализусоциально-экономическихфакторов, оказывающихвоздействиенаразвитиемалогопредпринимательства врегионахРоссии.
