Abstract:
In the article, based on the analysis of the position of laboring youth on the labor market and labor relations, three models of their labor behavior are constructed: “patient silence”, “adaptive accommodation”, and “active action”. At their core, these models rely on the social well-being of working youth and fit into broader models of economic behavior, representing their implementation in the labor market and in labor relations. Labor behavior is one of the types of economic behavior that depends on a number of factors: the nature of labor relations in an organization (1), satisfaction with conditions and wages (2), involvement in professional associations (3), willingness to protect one’s rights (4), dominant form of work motivation (5). The essential differentiating feature in each of the three models of labor behavior of laboring youth we have identified is the presence/absence of a formal regulation of labor relations. The labor behavior of laboring youth is analyzed on the basis of data from an empirical study conducted in 2018 in the Urals Federal District.
