Analysis of the Results of the Targeted Program for Promoting Employmentfor the Population of Minatom Closed Administrative-TerritorialZones for 1998–2000
Irina V.Yefimkova *
Department of Regional, Social, and Personnel Policy, Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy
In 2000, positive trends continued in the development of industrial production and atomic power engineering within the Minatom (Ministry of Atomic Energy) system. The state order was fulfilled according to the established tasks and limits.
The rate of growth of industrial manufacturing output volume totaled 109.3 percent in 2000 (109 percent for Russia as a whole), while 103.5 percent is predicted for 2001 (in comparison with the previous year, in comparable prices). The growth of output volumes in 2000 is basically associated with the increase in electric power production at atomic power plants and the corresponding growth of manufacturing output volume in the nuclear fuel industry.
The active implementation of measures included in programs providing employment assistance to the population has had a substantial impact in reducing tensions in the registered labor market. The process of layoffs at enterprises and organizations has slowed, while the number of individuals placed in temporary jobs has increased. The number of participants in public works projects is also growing.
Thanks to funds attracted, as well as the use of outside investments, local government agencies in the closed administrative-territorial zones have carried out projects to create enterprises in the following fields:
-
manufacture and processing of food products (Zheleznogorsk,
Lesnoi, Ozyorsk, Seversk, Snezhinsk)
-
light industry (Novouralsk, Seversk)

-
manufacture of water pipes and sanitary equipment using promising
new materials (Tryokhgorny)
-
wood processing (Zheleznogorsk, Lesnoi)
-
retail trade and the service sphere (Zheleznogorsk, Lesnoi,
Seversk)
-
construction and renovation of the urban infrastructure, housing,
and public facilities (Lesnoi, Novouralsk, Ozyorsk, Sarov, Seversk)
-
industrial and domestic waste processing (Zheleznogorsk,
Novouralsk)
-
manufacture of medical preparations (Zheleznogorsk, Sarov)
-
processing of local mineral raw materials (Zheleznogorsk)
-
agricultural production (Lesnoi)
-
sports and tourism (Tryokhgorny) and a number of others
Within the framework of the Targeted Program for Promoting Employment for the Population of Closed Administrative-Territorial Zones of the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy for 1998–2000, and thanks to the resources provided by those executing the program, about 13,300 jobs were created and preserved in 2000. More than 1,250 people took part in public works projects, and 1,200 were provided with job training. (See “Report on Implementation in 2000 of Measures from the Federal Targeted Program of Employment Assistance to the Population of the Russian Federation for 1998–2000,” Russian Ministry of Labor, February 27, 2001, No. 448, Appendix 1, pages 21–22.)
SITUATION IN THE EMPLOYMENT SPHERE
From 1994 through 2000 the number of unemployed persons in the Minatom closed zones registered by local employment service agencies of the Russian Ministry of Labor rose to 4.8 percent in 1996 and fell to 2.2 percent in 2000 (see Tables 1 and 2).

NOTE: Figures are shown for registered unemployment rates in Minatom cities (closed zones) in which unemployment levels exceed levels for the regions in which the cities are located. Blank cells in the table indicate that no data are available for those periods.
By the beginning of 2000, the unemployment rolls included 13,656 people, of whom 63 percent were women and 38 percent were young people between the ages of 16 and 29.
During 2000 the proportion of unemployed citizens who had been registered with the employment service for more than one year fell from 25.1 percent to 16.8 percent. Stagnant unemployment was reduced as the average duration of unemployment tended to decline, totaling 5.1 months as of January 1, 2001, as compared with 7.1 months as of January 1, 2000. The duration of unemployment was reduced as follows:
-
among men, from 6.2 to 5.1 months
-
among women, from 7.6 to 6.7 months
-
among citizens living in urban districts, from 7.0 to 6.0 months
-
among citizens living in rural districts, from 8.4 to 7.0 months
-
among young people 16–29 years of age, from 6.3 to 5.4
months
The number of job vacancies at the end of 2000 increased in comparison with 1999, totaling 19.8 percent, or 3,850 open positions. Requests to
Page 11
employment service agencies by enterprises wishing to fill open jobs totaled 1,393 in 1999 and 3,850 in 2000, an increase of about 280 percent. Demand for workers in the state sector of the economy also rose, representing 29.6 percent of total demand in 1999 and 38.2 percent in 2000. More than 80 percent of vacancies were in blue-collar fields, and the majority of the requests were for men. During 2000 the labor market intensity coefficient (number of unemployed citizens registered with the employment service for every one vacancy) decreased by almost 43 percent, going from 4.2 individuals per job opening to 2.4.
A total of 1,025 people, or 6.3 percent of the total registered as unemployed during the year, took part in public works projects in 2000.
The number of unemployed who received unemployment benefits during 2000 was 17,323. Material assistance has been established for unemployed citizens and their family members for cases in which unemployment benefits have run out owing to the expiration of the legally established eligibility period.
Despite the drop in the total number of unemployed and the continuing positive factors of development, the trend toward improvement in the condition of the labor market cannot be termed stable. There are a large number of vacancies in the labor market, but these jobs are not in demand for the following reasons: the majority of vacancies are for men, offer low wages, and are at enterprises where payment of wages is often delayed. Women and young people represented an increased portion of those laid off. The number of citizens requesting job placement assistance or receiving psychological, legal, and career guidance services has risen by 37 percent.
LABOR DEMAND OUTLOOK
A critical situation could develop in the labor market in the closed zones during implementation of the Federal Targeted Program for Reform of Atomic Industry Enterprises (Nuclear Weapons Complex) for 2001–2005 and for the period up to 2010. Measures included in this program call for enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex to lay off 30,000– 35,000 people during the specified period.
The biggest and most intensive efforts on conversion in the industry are to be carried out during the first stage of the reform program (2002– 2005), which will require significant state support. Thanks to the development of conversion-oriented manufacturing enterprises, about 30,000 new jobs will be created for workers laid off from the defense sector.
To ensure socioeconomic development and provide jobs for the population, local government agencies in the Minatom closed zones are carrying out investment projects to create small- and medium-sized enterprises in the following fields: production and processing of food products; pro
Page 12
cessing of wood and local mineral resources; construction and renovation of urban infrastructure, housing, and public facilities; processing of industrial and domestic waste; manufacturing of metal and plastic goods and medical preparations; retail trade and the services sphere; agricultural production; light industry; sports; tourism; and a number of others. These projects are being carried out with funds from local budgets and from outside investments.
The job creation efforts being undertaken by local self-government organs and by the management of the Minatom enterprises around which the closed zones center will make it possible to ensure employment for the population of the Minatom closed zones. They will also help to prevent the growth of mass unemployment in connection with layoffs during the reorganization and reform of nuclear weapons complex enterprises.
KEY PROBLEMS REGARDING EMPLOYMENT OF THE POPULATION IN MINATOM CLOSED ZONES
According to provisions of the subprogram Reform of Atomic Industry Enterprises (Nuclear Weapons Complex) for the period to 2010 of the Federal Targeted Program for Reform of the Defense Industrial Complex for the period to 2010, the following represent key problems regarding employment of the population and personnel and social policy in the Minatom closed zones:
-
preserving and developing collectives of highly skilled
specialists and workers
-
consolidating personnel around the fundamental development
tasks for the industry
-
sharply increasing labor productivity (output per worker)
In addressing the above-specified problems it is necessary to support
-
preserving and effectively augmenting the personnel potential
of the industry and stepping up efforts aimed at training and
attracting young specialists and scientific personnel,
selecting and assigning managers, and working with the
reserve pool
-
identifying specialists with critical knowledge that is key
to the main thematic directions of activity in the industry
and creating a system of priorities in wage payment, work
organization, and resolution of social questions
-
developing international cooperation in the training of
specialists and creating the necessary training methodology
base, training simulators, equipment, manuals, and
documentation
Page 13
-
improving efforts to organize and equip workplaces, developing and
implementing measures to improve workplace safety and safety
equipment, and systematically improving qualifications as
foundations for increasing labor productivity
-
preserving existing jobs and creating new ones during the process
of enterprise conversion and reconstruction and placing top
priority on the development of high-tech science-intensive
production facilities
-
developing and improving the system of interaction of Minatom with
government agencies at the federal, local, and Federation-subject
levels in the aim of developing and implementing programs to create
conditions favorable for outside investors, preserve and foster
scientific and industrial potential, and create new manufacturing
enterprises
-
preserving and developing the industry-wide corporate system for
ensuring social protection of workers in the industry, providing
for their medical-sanitary and pension needs, and organizing worthy
conditions for work and rest
-
developing cooperation with regional government agencies on
questions of employment of the population, socioeconomic
development, education, culture, housing construction, social
insurance, and so forth
-
establishing mechanisms for the granting of housing on credit at
enterprises of the industry, including mortgage lending, that will
guarantee the provision of housing to workers and their family
members, especially young specialists
Social and personnel efforts in the industry should make it increasingly attractive in the aim of maintaining collectives of highly qualified specialists.
The objectives established in social and personnel policy are pursued through the use of consolidated financial assets and include the following key points:
-
implementing a uniform industry-wide corporate system of social
protection for workers in the industry that provides for their
pensions and medical care and ensures the organization of
comfortable conditions for work and rest
-
preserving and effectively augmenting the personnel potential of
the industry and coordinating efforts regarding the training of
young specialists and scientific staff and the selection and
placement of managers
-
expanding interaction with local government agencies in the
closed administrative-territorial zones regarding employment of
the population, social insurance, housing construction, and
socioeconomic development
-
preserving the existing system of social insurance for workers
in the industry
-
preparing and adopting the necessary regulatory measures
ensuring completion of a certain amount of housing space
annually to improve housing conditions for workers in the
industry
Page 14
- establishing mortgage lending mechanisms at industry enterprises to guarantee housing opportunities for young specialists sent to work at industry enterprises, which should reduce turnover at nuclear weapons complex enterprises and ensure timely replacement and continuity of workers with critical knowledge and skills
The strategy of regional development is substantially based on the promotion and use of effective technologies in production and management and on the creation of linkages with new partners. This gives enterprises, and especially closed zones, new opportunities to expand their activities by participating in the development and implementation of regional strategies. With the implementation of major projects in the regions to create new science-intensive and innovative production facilities using civilian nuclear technologies in cooperation with regional governments and domestic and foreign partners, the enterprises of the Minatom closed zones will gain new business and be able to use their significant technological and industrial potential more effectively.
GOALS AND TASKS OF THE PROGRAM
The goals and tasks of the program are determined by the Federal Targeted Program for Promoting Employment for the Population of the Russian Federation for 1998–2000, which was authorized by Resolution No. 828 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated June 24, 1998. (See Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 1998, Volume 33, Article 4005, and 1999, Volume 26, Article 3184.) These goals and tasks are based on a general agreement among the all-Russian associations of trade unions, all-Russian associations of employers, and the Government of the Russian Federation for 2000–2001. They are also based on the current Industry Wage Agreement for the Atomic Power Industry and the concept of reforming Minatom as presented in the subprogram Reform of Atomic Industry Enterprises (Nuclear Weapons Complex) for the period to 2010, which is part of the Federal Targeted Program for Reform of the Defense Industrial Complex for the period to 2010.

EVALUATION OF EXPECTED EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRAM
Implementation of the program will substantially lessen the acuteness of such an important social problem as unemployment, which is caused by the sharp reduction of production volumes for the manufacture of defense-related and other traditional output at nuclear weapons complex enterprises in the Minatom closed zones.
Measures for restructuring nuclear and chemical manufacturing enterprises call for them to increase their total output volume of civilian products to 220 percent of year 2000 levels by 2010. Products intended for export should be increased by 120 percent, while export goods should total 39.7 percent of overall production output.
In the course of implementing measures for structural optimization and restructuring, assembly line enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex are to increase their total output volume for civilian goods to 500 percent of year 2000 levels by 2010. Output of products intended for export is to be increased by 180 percent.
Plans call for the creation and start-up of industrial facilities that will make it possible to produce competitive civilian products valued at 29.5 billion rubles. The proportion of export-oriented products will reach 37.7 percent of the total output volume of conversion-related goods by 2010. The recoupment period for these investments will be two or three years, and the development of these conversion-oriented manufacturing facilities will create about 30,000 jobs for workers laid off from the defense sector.
To ensure stable socioeconomic development and provide jobs for the population, local government agencies in the Minatom closed zones are carrying out investment projects to support and develop entrepreneurship and self-employment among the population. These projects are being carried out with funds from local budgets and from outside investments.
Local government agencies and the management of enterprises around which Minatom closed zones are based are jointly carrying out measures to create new jobs. These measures will make it possible to provide employment for the population in the Minatom closed zones and prevent the growth of mass unemployment in connection with layoffs of workers during the reorganization and reform of the enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex. Some 17,800 new jobs will be created as a result of programmatic measures to be carried out during 2002–2005.
All projects proposed for implementation within the framework of the program are subject to a mandatory environmental impact assessment and will facilitate a substantial improvement in the condition of the environment in areas adjoining nuclear facilities in the closed zones. The basic tasks concerning ecology and industrial waste management at enterprises in the industry include

related industrial facilities during their operation and
decommissioning
-
providing for the safe handling of radioactive and toxic wastes
during their formation, transportation, processing, storage, and
final disposition (burial)
-
rehabilitating natural sites (land areas and bodies of water)
polluted with radioactive or toxic wastes during the operation
of atomic power plants and related industrial facilities
To improve safety for the storage of environmentally hazardous radioactive wastes, a set of measures is planned to renovate and construct warehouses and storage facilities, taking into account the increased demands of safety rules and SNIIP-90. Further measures will be aimed at conservation of storage facilities for radioactive mine tailings.
Along with the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, radiation sources, and storage points for nuclear materials, radioactive substances, and wastes, a range of efforts is under way to dismantle contaminated equipment and structures. The rehabilitation of environmental sites (land areas and bodies of water) contaminated with radioactive or toxic wastes during the activity of industry enterprises includes a set of measures to be carried out at industrial sites, in sanitary-protective zones, and in zones under enterprise supervision.
MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
Fundamental control of program implementation is carried out by the Minatom industry commission that directed the development of the program. Local government administrations in the closed zones and regional employment offices of the Russian Ministry of Labor also participate in this work, along with the Union of Employers in Atomic Engineering, Industry, and Science of the Russian Federation (SRMAE) and the leadership of the Russian Trade Union of Workers in the Atomic Power and Related Industries (RAEP).
The basic task of the industry commission is to ensure that the fundamental goals of the program are achieved in a highly cost-effective manner. In accordance with this goal, the commission carries out the following functions:
- 1. At the program development stage
-
definition of goals and ways of achieving them
-
determination of work structure and implementers for the
entire program period
-
coordination, correction, and approval of the program

2. At the program implementation management stage
-
monitoring of program performance overall and for individual
tasks
-
analysis of current status of work and forecasting of
possibilities of achieving program goals
-
development, implementation, and monitoring of the execution of
management decisions
The mechanism for monitoring program implementation consists of the following elements:
-
preparation of annual reports on progress made in carrying out
basic program activities, financial resources expended, and the
degree to which results obtained correspond to the expected
outcome
-
presentation of reports to the leadership of Minatom, SRMAE, and
RAEP so that they can be jointly discussed and the appropriate
corrections can be made in the program
The industry commission includes an information service and management group that analyzes the status of work and prepares information for decision making and operational management of program implementation.
One of the most important organizational-economic conditions promoting successful implementation of the program is its inclusion in the Federal Targeted Program of Employment Assistance to the Population for 2002–2005 and the distribution of the corresponding forms of state support to the enterprises participating in realization of the program.
