In the focus of my investigation there are a number of women’s employment problems in the Russian Federation. Post-soviet reforms changed social and economic life of women that’s why it is necessary to re-evaluate views and approaches to these problems. Over the past century, the situation of women has changed dramatically but it is too early to say that there is gender equality in Russia. More than 450 jobs are forbidden for women and half of some of the prohibitions have already been outdated. The country’s economy suffers from gender inequality. Author is going to answer several questions in his research: Why are there huge differences in salaries between women and men? what difficulties does a woman face in finding a job? Why is it so difficult to find well-paid jobs for young and aged women? Also Author is going to compare women’s situation in labour market in the Russian federation with other countries. As a research method author uses the analysis of official statistics, the labour code of the Russian Federation and different sources of federal researches.
