Abstract:

A large literature examines men's unemployment and their wives' labor-market participation. In response to her husband's unemployment, a woman may adjust her labor supplied to household production as well as to the market. This article tests for this effect and measures its impact using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Cost of Living survey of 1917–1919. Households altered both household-production decisions and the wife's labor supplied to the market in response to the husband's unemployment. But the household-production-response effect was smaller than the added-worker effect, in terms of women's labor hours and household consumption.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to analyze the question of how household indebtedness impacts households’ incentives to search for and accept work after displacement. Design/methodology/approach To analyze the relationship between household indebtedness and unemployment duration, this paper applies standard proportional hazard models. For data, this paper relies on the longitudinal US National Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), covering the period between 2008 and 2012. Findings The findings show that a 10% increase in household debt increases the likelihood (hazard) of leaving unemployment by 0.2%–0.4% points. Independent of measuring a household's indebtedness and in light of a series of robustness tests, the results indicate that the pressure of servicing an existing debt burden forces individuals to return to work. Social implications From a policy perspective, the research findings support the notion that household indebtedness plays an important mediating role for labor market outcomes through influencing households’ incentives to return to work after displacement. This finding has important implications for the design of effective policy responses to mass layoffs during the current pandemic. Originality/value A key innovation of the research is that we can show that household indebtedness impacts the labor supply side. From a macroeconomic perspective, this insight is important in better understanding the role of increased indebtedness (and financialization) in amplifying aggregate macroeconomic dynamics.

Abstract:

The article examines patterns of work and employment in urban households of the inter-war Soviet Union. Drawing on population censuses and time-budget surveys, it analyses trends in labour participation and gainful employment for men, women and different age-groups from the mid-1920s to the late 1930s. Particular attention is devoted to the division of labour within the household. The single most important change over this period was a substantial increase in labour participation rates, in particular among women. This was a direct result of the state-led industrialization drive of the 1930s, which simultaneously caused a booming demand for labour and a rapid decline of real wages. Households reacted to this challenge by increasing the number of working members per household. Self-employment, targeted by state repression from the late 1920s, practically disappeared, leaving paid employment as the only viable form of gainful employment. Within the household, the increase in female labour participation rates put a heavy strain on women, who came to face a double burden of employment and household duties, including child-care. In three-generation extended households, which were the norm at the time, this resulted in a division of labour between the generations, with the household members of working age concentrating on paid employment and the elderly members of the household on child-care and subsidiary agriculture.

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with examining the nature of household work strategies in a low income estate in Belfast. It is based on a survey of one in four households within the estate and interviews with one hundred and twenty two school pupils from the area. The paper is divided into three parts. The first section assesses the extent to which male unemployment leads to a renegotiation of the domestic division of labour within the household. The second part of the paper relates to the presence or absence of consumer durables within the household and assesses whether this is connected to the employment status of household members. It examines whether the presence of consumer durables influences the time spent on household labour. The final part of the paper focuses on male involvement in non-routine household tasks.

Abstract:

The article examines the representation of domestic work of female and male characters in children’s literature of the 20th –21st centuries. The research is based on the Corpus of Russian Prose for Children and Youth (DetCorpus). In Soviet and post-Soviet children’s literature, male characters are overrepresented by male authors, the same tendency is present in literature for adults. In contrast, female authors are characterized by a more egalitarian distribution of characters. The analysis of the verbs denoting household work and used in the past tense shows that female characters are more often depicted by certain types of household work by authors of both sexes. Thus, women writers are more likely to portray women doing household work since they portray more women in general. Children’s literature can trace a rich tradition of the symbolic inclusion of male characters in domestic work. The article describes a circle of romantic and adventure topoi, which depict men and boys engaged in the arrangement of everyday life.

The findings from the logistic regression models suggest that the household’s socio-economic group, place of living, children in household and whether the household rents the flat/accommodation impact on determining the probability of owning a pet among Polish house-holds; analyses of interactions between significant variables were also conducted. However, the human-animal bond could not be included in analysis, which is a limitation, the overall work is pioneering, as it shows the quantitative approach to household economy that highlights the need to elaborate the economic family theories of Becker and Leibenstein by a new family member – a pet.This paper expands the considerations of Becker’s and Leibenstein’s family theories with a focus on the additional member of the household (pet/animal) in the analysis of consumption.

Abstract:

Using data from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, we examine whether living in jobless families where parents devote more time to household work shields children against their own joblessness in the future. We draw on a representative sample of young adults who were aged between 4 and 17 years in 2001 and lived with both parents through to 2007 ( N = 1,852). A series of mixed-effect regression models suggest that dual-parent joblessness is associated with an increase in families’ overall household production. The extra household work of fathers has a moderating role on young people’s later joblessness in young adulthood; young adults raised in households in which fathers increase their household work time during jobless periods are less likely to themselves become jobless as adults. This effect is not found if mothers increase their household work time.

Abstract:

This paper presents a study of household gambling consumption in Thailand in 2011. We investigate the nonlinear relationships between this behavior and household alcohol expenditure, household gambling expenditure, and demographic factors. We use Treenet to analyze datasets drawn from a socio-economic survey of 42,083 Thai households conducted in 2011. The results show that the five most significant variables in order of importance for predicting the likelihood of household gambling consumption are household income, household region, work status of the household head, religion of the household head, and age of the household head. In summary, the Treenet results suggest that the likelihood of gambling consumption was higher for households with an income of more than 25,000 Bahts per year, a location in the North, a Buddhist head of household, a head with active work status, a head between 35 and 55 years old, with household expenditure spent on alcohol consumed at home of more than 500 Bahts, with household expenditure spent on tobacco of more than 100 Bahts, and a head of household with less education.

Abstract:

Regression analysis is used to study the relationship between dependent (response) variable with one or more independent (causal) variables. While response data were censored, then Tobit regression model could be applied. According to Greene (2003), censored data were data with incomplete observation or the dependent variable has a value of zero, while for the other observations have particular value. This research aimed to model dairy milk’s consumption from households at Bali Province. By using data from Survey SosialEkonomiNasional (SUSENAS) or Social Economy’s National Survey (SENS) for year 2012, 615 households were selected as sampling unit using simple random sampling technique, and found 123 households who consumed dairy milk. The independent variables in our model were last education level completed by head of household’s (X1), head of household’s work (X2), age of head of household’s (X3), amount of expenditure for food consumption’s (X4), number of household members (X5), and household income (X6), the response variable was budget for buying dairy milk (Y). From six independent variables, is found only last education level by head household and amount of expenditure for food consumption had siginficant effect on Y’s. The final Tobit regression model were obtained using AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) method is Y = -3314724 + 565429,7 X1 + 0,014278 X4 with pseudo R2 as much as 16.79 per cent.

Abstract:

Domestic labour is a very important part of national economy today. Domestic labour is aimed on reproduction of the labour potential of workers by efforts of a household. Usually domestic labour is realized by members of a particular household. However, in up-to-date economy households usually outsource particular functions of domestic labour outside the household. The most widespread is outsourcing of the domestic labour in the spheres of food preparation, childcare and everyday household services. Domestic labour outsourcing produces the whole segment of labour market aimed at meeting this demand. Employment in this segment is usually precarious and leads to decreasing living standards and developing a considerable sector of shadow economy.The Object of the Study. Outsourcing of the domestic labour in Russia.The Subject of the Study. Practices and directions of domestic labour outsourcing in Russia.The Main Provisions of the Article. Domestic labour consists of work implemented in or for a household. Domestic labour presumes a whole spectrum of life-sustaining activities. Cardinal changes in global economy impel households to take decisions concerning outsource domestic labour. Domestic labour outsourcing in terms of labour market theory is a gig-economy. Gig-economy produces a sphere of employment where a customer and a work performer are connected throughout Internet platforms or apps. This type of employment is characterized either by full absence of contracts or by constrained terms of contracts; by disguised employment or fictitious self-employment; be precarious working conditions such as verbal agreement of remuneration and lack of access to social guarantees and to labour rights protection.

Abstract:

Background. Despite mixed reports, food insecurity emerges as a predictor of nutritional status, assumably limiting the quantity and quality of dietary intake. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of childhood undernutrition and food insecurity is highly pronounced. However, whether household food insecurity predicts undernutrition in children was not yet well established. Thus, the aim of the present study was to identify the link between household food access and undernutrition in children aged 6–23 months in West Oromia zones, Ethiopia. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 525 households during June–October 2016. Food access was measured as Household Food Insecurity Access Scale. Semistructured interviewer-administered questionnaires were employed to collect data on sociodemographics, child health, child dietary practices, household food security, and anthropometrics. The height and weight of children aged 6–23 months in each household were measured. Multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to assess the association between household food insecurity and child nutritional status measured from undernutrition indicators. Results. Overall, more than two-thirds (69%) of households were classified as food insecure (had insufficient access to adequate food), with a mean (SD) household food access score of 7.9 (7.7). The respective prevalence of mild and moderate food-insecure households was 56.6% and 12.4%. Higher proportions of children in food-insecure households were stunted (41.8% vs. 15.5%), underweight (22.0% vs. 6.1%), and wasted (14.9% vs. 6.1%). Overall, the prevalence of child undernutrition was 21.3% in the target population, with 16.2% stunted, 6.9% underweight, and 6.3% wasted. The present finding shows food-secure households were 54% protective (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.25–0.84) for child undernutrition. Compared to children in food-secure households, children who were reportedly living in moderately food-insecure households were over twice more likely stunted (OR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.02–4.28) and over 4 times more likely underweight (OR: 4.73, 95% CI: 1.81–12.35). However, household food insecurity was not a correlate for acute malnutrition (wasting) in children. Conclusions. The prevalence of household’s food insecurity situation is very common and more pronounced among households with undernourished children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia. The analysis of this work shows that moderately food-insecure households are a salient predictor for composite undernutrition, stunting, and underweight, but not for wasting. Thus, this finding informs the need for multisectoral strategies and policies to combat household’s food insecurity and multiple forms of child undernutrition, beyond the socioeconomic wellbeing.

Abstract:

The program distributing rice for reducing poverty for poor household (also known as Raskin) is one of social safety net programs in Indonesian’s government with its subsidized rice to the poor. The purpose of this program is to lessen the financial burden of the targeted households and increase food sustainability at the household level. This paper’s aim is to investigate how the effect of in-kind transfer towards the Raskin program over the household’s budgets proportion. This study used Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) data wave 3 (2000) and wave 4 (2007), with the households level as unit analysis. Estimation strategy is applying regression with data panel in fixed effect model (FEM) and instrumental variable (IV). The result shows that the in-kind transfer program is not work for lessening the household’s burden, but in fact has increased the household expenditure, particularly for buying some food. It was found that during the program implementation, there was a significant increase in informal labor wages in Indonesia. Therefore, for typical household who experiencing higher wage income relatives to rice expenditure, will result in total budgets for rice will also increase significantly. In this case, we could conclude that rice is still being normal goods for Indonesia..

Abstract:

Uncertainty of income obtained by the head of the family as a fisherman encourages the housewife member of the fisherman to work in order to fulfill the household's living needs. This research was conducted to determine the role of women in increasing the economic income of fishermen households in Manggar Baru Balikpapan and also to find out what obstacles faced by women in increasing the economic income of fishermen households. This research was also conducted to determine government policies in empowering coastal women. This research method uses descriptive qualitative methods. Data from this study were obtained by observing, interviewing, and documenting studies and processed using source triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that the role of women in increasing the economic income of fishermen households taking care of the household is a top priority, accompanying their husbands, taking care of their children and helping their husbands work as crab skin peelers or running small shops can increase household economic income. In carrying out this role they did not escape the obstacles they faced, the obstacles faced by women in increasing the economic income of fishermen households were the constraints of unhygienic and unsafe water sources for individual and household needs as well as the absence of strengthening women fishermen groups for small business industries is a constraint faced by women in increasing household economic income. In terms of empowering coastal communities, the Government participates in conducting coaching for coastal communities in the Manggar Baru Balikpapan village through trainings even though the training is not regularly scheduled.

Abstract:

Efforts to include disaggregate work trip accessibility in models of non-work trip generation are described. Reported household-level, one-way, average home-based work trip duration is used in home-based shop/other and home-based social/recreation models for the San Francisco Bay Area. The survey data and models show an inverse relationship between work trip duration and home-based nonwork trip frequency: as work trip duration increases, nonwork trip frequency decreases. Hybrid trip generation models using multiple regression techniques, cross-classified by workers in household level and vehicles in household level, are estimated using data from the 1981 and 1990 household travel surveys. Work trip duration is excluded in models estimated for nonworking households and is included in models estimated for single-worker and multiworker households. Elasticity analyses show that a 10 percent decrease in the regional work trip duration yields a 1.2 percent increase in regional home-based shop/other trips and a 0.9 percent increase in regional home-based social/recreation trips. The research helps to identify practical means to incorporate workplace accessibility in regional travel demand model forecasting systems, to better analyze the issue of induced trip making, and to provide a better understanding of the linkage between congestion and trip frequency choice behavior.

Abstract:

Rubber is a plantation crop which is mostly a source of community income in Kampar District. As a source of household income, rubber farming is managed by households independently. This study generally aims to design models and government policy strategies in the development of smallholder rubber plantations on land typology mineral land conditions on the economic decision making of rubber farmer households. Specifically, this study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the characteristics of independent smallholders and internal and external dominant factors that influence the allocation of working time, income and household expenses of rubber farmers. This research was conducted using a survey method located in Kampar District. The data used in this study consisted of primary data obtained using the interview method. Samples were taken by simple random sampling method with 60 rubber farmers. Descriptive analysis and Economic Decision Model of Rubber Farmer Households using the simultaneous equation model approach with the Two Stages Least Square (2SLS) analysis method were performed to answer the research objectives. The results showed that only internal factors of farm households are responsive to household economic decisions. There are no external factors included in the model that are responsive to the economic decisions of rubber farming households in Kuantan Singingi Regency regarding the aspects of production, working time allocation, income and expenditure of rubber farming households. From the aspect of production, no responsive internal or external factors were found, but the biggest effect was the number of productive rubber stems. From the aspect of work time allocation, internal factors that are responsive to influence are the total outpouring of farmer work, outpouring of farm family work in businesses and the workforce of farmer households. Furthermore, from the aspect of farmer's household income the responsive internal factors that influence it are the farmer's household income in the business. then what influences household expenditure is outflow of work in business, farmer education, wife education and total rubber farmer income. The policy implications of increasing rubber prices and outpouring of family work in the business have the most positive impact. While the increase in wages for workers outside the family has a negative impact on the household economy.

Abstract:

The role of off-farrn employment in augmenting household fann income in the developing countries is of special significance, given the land and water resource constraints and the alanning. rate of population growth. This study focuses on the rural household in Pakistan in an effort to understand the economic and social factors that affect off-farm work participation of male household members in the rural areas. The data are derived from the cross-section survey carried out by the International Food Policy Research Institute for the year 1986-87 as a panel study of rural households. The parameters of the model are estimated using the standard maximum likelihood Tobit approach. Most of the results are consistent with the findings in other developing countries. The results confirm that the level of human capital plays an important role in making decisions providing for labour in off-fann work activities. The study also highlights the fact that fann-to-market roads and village electrification are some of the development strategies vital to encourage participation in off-farm work.

Abstract:

In this study, the authors examine boys’ household work in low- and moderate-income single-mother families. Through describing the work that boys do, why they do this work, and the meaning that they and their mothers give to this work, they add to the understanding of housework as an arena for gender role reproduction or interruption. Their data reveal that adolescent boys did a significant amount of work and took pride in their competence. Mothers grounded their expectations of boys’ household contributions in life experience. They both needed their sons’ day-to-day contributions and wanted their sons to grow into men who were competent around the house and good partners. In demanding household work from their sons, these single mothers themselves work to undermine the traditional gendered division of such labor.

Abstract:

Most of the evaluation of commute trip reduction programs centers on the effect on reducing driveway trips at the work site. Little has been done to explore the effects of such programs on overall trip making. This work is meant to help understand this relationship by determining the association between transit and carpool commuting and overall household vehicle trip making. Household activity models have indicated that an individual's travel decisions influence (and are influenced by) the decisions of other household members. It is thus postulated that one household member's choice of transit or carpool for the morning trip to work will affect the mode choices of the other household members. In addition, the choice of mode to work will affect the individual's mode choices for trips other than the morning trip to work. The analysis uses the first four waves of the Puget Sound Transportation Panel survey to construct linear econometric longitudinal trip generation models (random effects models). The results of the modeling indicate that one household member's mode choice to work does affect overall household vehicle travel. Compared with driving alone to work, if one household member chooses transit to work, overall household vehicle trips are reduced (on average). Carpooling by one household member is associated with little change in overall household travel, with average daily household vehicle trips ranging between one trip fewer and one trip greater than households where each driver in the household drives to work in a separate, single-occupant vehicle. The analysis strengthens the associations to imply causal links. The model results suggest that an improved understanding of interactions among household members is necessary to define strategies in support of commute trip reduction policies to better meet air quality and congestion-management goals.

Abstract:

This article puzzles out the relationships between displaced peoples, their families, resettlement, the household, employment, and social reproduction – the often voluntary, feminized, and un- or under-compensated labour that reproduces a family, household, or labour force. Transnational refugee households and the conditions of refugee resettlement are co-constituted. These households are: 1) physical dwellings where a family is situated; 2) sites of emotional, care, and additional work required for the reproduction of the (often transnational) family; 3) necessitating ‘material’ inputs, in the form of paid labour, social provisions, or other sources. This article uses Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) to demonstrate the tradeoffs in securing the economic and care resources required for maintaining transnational refugee households. Profiling cases of resettling refugee families in Winnipeg, Canada, the article suggests that ‘small-n’ research reveals the challenges in meeting common resettlement imperatives amid expensive housing markets and restricted access to social and economic resources.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to identify characteristics of small fishermen household; model smallholder household economy based on production decisions, work-flow allocations, income, and consumption; simulate policy scenarios for increasing production and income of small fishermen household. The analytical method in this study uses the Two-stage Least Square (2SLS) method which is used to estimate the parameters of an equation with program SAS 9.1.3, while the simulation analysis is used to obtain policy alternatives that can increase the production and income of small fishermen. The result of the research average total production of beltfish is as much as 13,3 kg per month. The small fisherman households in the study area allocated the work time of their household members to the on-fishing activities at 36.4% and non-fishing at 63.6%. There is a relationship between production, work time, income, and consumption in the economic model of small fisherman households. The choice of policy to improve fishing technology can increase the production and income of small fishermen while the increase in fuel price will decrease the income of small fishermen households.

Abstract:

Due to China’s socioeconomic development, labor force transfer from rural areas has become more common, the income of rural households has increased, and the structure of rural household clean living energy consumption has changed. However, few studies have explored the correlation between non-farm employment and clean energy adoption in rural households. Using survey data from 1175 farmers in 106 villages from a 2018 Survey in Liaoning Province, this study uses a Probit model to analyze the effect of non-farm work on clean energy adoption, as well as an effect decomposition model to examine the specific mechanism of their interaction. Robustness tests were performed using extended regression models (ERMs), propensity score matching (PSM), and variation of the core explanatory variable measures. The results found that: (1) Rural residents’ non-farm work has a significant positive effect on their household clean energy adoption. (2) Increasing rural residents’ household income and promoting the growth of their health knowledge are the main channels through which non-farm work influences their clean energy adoption. (3) Non-farm work has a more positive impact on household clean energy adoption for young or male farmers, those who had a junior high school education or above, and those who had a village head in the family. This study provides an understanding of rural non-farm work and clean energy adoption decisions and provides references for the effective allocation of rural labor resources and the formulation of policies related to rural energy adoption.

Abstract:

The article examines the issue of unpaid work and sharing of work between male and female family members in cultivating households on the basis of a field survey of 240 farm households in two districts in the agriculturally developed western region of Uttar Pradesh. The study reveals that women’s total workload was much higher than that of men. The pattern of work and time use have hardly changed. The burden of domestic work and care basically falls on women of the household. The participation of men in these activities is nominal. Women’s contribution to farm activities is significant, and further, they do most of the work in animal husbandry. Consequently, they have much less time for leisure and sleep. Our study highlights the permanence of traditional intra-household gender disparities in the distribution of work within the household. These values are transferred to the next generation as young girls are expected to help their mothers in carrying out domestic duties and care work, while boys have no such obligation.

Abstract:

Abstract. In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of the importance of income diversification to agrarian households in developing countries. Empirical evidence of the effect of farm household income diversification on agricultural productivity remains scanty and inconclusive. An important policy question concerns the effect that farmer participation in off-farm work has on agricultural productivity. This paper answers that question by examining the factors that explain the decision of farm household heads to work off-farm and how this impacts farm productivity using a sample of 300 rice producing households in northern Ghana. Endogenous switching regression model supported by a treatment effect model was used to empirically assess the effect of off-farm work on agricultural productivity. Results show that engagement in off-farm work has a robust and positive impact on rice productivity. Farmers’ choice to work outside the farm thus contributed significantly to rice productivity of smallholders, confirming the role of income diversification in contributing to agricultural productivity of agrarian households.

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the determinants of decision-making in relation to the production of four crops (banana, cassava, potato, and sweet potato). Understanding the division of labor and decision-making in crop management may lead to designing better interventions targeted at improving efficiency in smallholder agriculture. In 2014, the research team conducted a quantitative household survey with heads of households involving 261 women and 144 men in Burundi and 184 women and 222 men in Rwanda. Most of the decisions and labor provision during the production of both cash crops (potato and banana) and food crops (sweet potato and cassava) were done jointly by men and women in male-headed households. Higher values for ‘credit access’, ‘land size’, and ‘farming as the main occupation of the household head’ increased the frequency of joint decision-making in male-headed households. A decline in the amount of farm income reduced the participation of men as decision-makers. A reduction in total household income and proximity to the market was correlated with joint decision-making. Gender norms also contributed to the lower participation of women in both decision-making and labor provision in banana and potato cultivation. Although a large proportion of decisions were made jointly, women perceived that men participate more in decision-making processes within the household during the production of cash crops. Increased participation by women in decision-making will require an active and practical strategy which can encourage adjustments to existing traditional gender norms that recognize men as the main decision-makers at both the household and community levels.

Abstract:

This study analyzed the association between household employment and household poverty using logit regression on survey data of Multan District. It is found that qualification of household head, gender of household head, household employment rate, number of males employed in formal sector, number of females employed in informal sector, females permitted to paid work outside home, female’s autonomy to utilize household resources, possession of agricultural land, residence, possession of livestock and government health facility in household’s vicinity have significantly negative impact on probability of household’s poverty. Household size and number of children (≤ 5 years) are positively associated with household poverty. It is suggested that empowering women and creating productive employment opportunities in both formal and informal sectors may help to reduce poverty..

Abstract:

The analysis based on data from the Time Use Survey 2013 presents how household activities related to paid and unpaid work are distributed between women and men in Poland. The share of persons involved in selected activities at the defined time is presented. The 24‑hour rhythm of paid and unpaid work refers to weekdays (working days and weekends separately) and months. The analysis covers different groups of households, defined by the source of income and household living arrangements. The results confirm the hypothesis about double burden of women imposed by the asymmetric allocation of household duties between women and men, irrespectively of the source of household income. They also demonstrate how living arrangements contribute to the differences in paid and unpaid work of women and men.

Abstract:

Neither technical inability nor population/resource imbalances prevented China from developing mechanized cotton-spinning. However, restrictions on the deployment of female labor outside the home, promulgated by Confucian ethics and enforced by the state as part of social control, prevented widespread adoption of machinery requiring extra-household use of female labor. Under such conditions—which did not obtain in Europe, where female wage labor had long been used for service outside of natal households—factory production could not compete with household production.

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to examine the characteristics of households in the Republic of Armenia that send migrants to Russia compared with households that do not have migrants or that are not in Russia. The author used data from the sample survey – the Household’s Integrated Living Conditions Survey in the Republic of Armenia. The relevance of the study is emphasized, in particular, in connection with Armenia's accession to the EAEU and the creation of a single labor market.The article focuses on the survey programme, which includes questions that allow to characterize households by various parameters (in particular by household size, average per capita income, level of education, proportion of women, children and elderly in a household, migration component).The paper analyses households included in the survey (with household members who emigrated to the Russian Federation). Comparing this group with households without migrants or with migrants in other countries and regions shows that Russia is mainly chosen by labor migrants from households that live in rural areas, have a relatively small proportion of children, women, and the elderly. At the same time, such households are more numerous, the age of their heads is within the limits of the senior working age, and the proportion of working members is higher than in other households. Statistical analysis based on the data of the sample survey under consideration suggests that emigration to Russia is chosen mainly by households with a relatively low level of financial well-being. Thus, for a certain part of Armenian households, participation in labor migration to Russia is, in their opinion, a keyway to obtain a livelihood or an opportunity to increase the level of financial well-being of the entire household.
