Critically building on Zygmunt Bauman’s conception of Liquid Modernity (2000), this research note introduces “Liquid Employment.” This concept is a new theoretical construct that aims to describe the current configuration of employment – that of over-flexibility. This over-flexibility is characterized by the loosening of the once stable institutionalized standards of work. Included here are the lesser significance of possession of educational background and scientific knowledge which conventional wisdom deems as highly significant in the supposed post-industrial society. To illustrate the point, some types of work in the digital and gig economy are examined. This essay adds another dimension to Bauman’s framework of Modernity and questions the orthodox descriptions of the labor market as represented by mainstream economics.

The object of the research is the modern domestic labor market. The aim of the work is to determine the prospects for distance employment considering overcoming potential risks and threats. The methods employed are statistical analysis, analysis of scientific literature, analysis of the results of sociological research and Internet sources. The study result shows the change in the structure of employment due to emerging and fast distribution of its non-standard forms, specific to the information and post-industrial society. The authors proved that this process has both pronounced positive consequences (first of all, an increase in employment efficiency) and negative (instability of employment, precarization of the able-bodied economically active population, etc.). The authors highlight the current features of the modern Russian labor market, which determine distributing of distance employment and show that advanced distance employment is based on a simultaneous change in communication technologies and motivations of professional and labor behavior of the population. The conclusion is that the development of distance employment is determined by a complex of factors, including not only technological, but also economic, social, psychological, institutional ones. To expand distance employment, both objective (state of the economy) and subjective (attitude of employers) prerequisites. The study results may be of use for managing labor resources and the labor market in general, considering overcoming potential risks and threats, as well as based on the most promising forms of employment in modern conditions.

The Relationship

The article studies the human capital concept genesis and development in the context of philosophical and scientific knowledge dynamics. Society transformation to the post-industrial stage of social development led to the foundation of human capital theoretical conception. The relevance of the paper was dictated by the increasing human capital volume in the structure of modern social reproduction. The theoretical and methodological bases of the research are philosophical treatises of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, T. Hobbes; political economy classics works by W. Petty, J. S. Mill, A. Smith, K. Marx; ideas analysis by F. Taylor, H. Ford, J. Minser, T. Schultz, G. Becker and others; articles by Russian and Belarusian economists like R. M. Nureev, Yu. V. Latov, R. I. Kapelyushnikov, M. M. Kovalev, E. G. Gospodarik. The empirical base is World Bank reports, human development reports of the UN. Analysis of literature revealed insufficient interest in human capital in the philosophical knowledge field, despite the fact that the concept related to axiological and existential aspects of human existence. The purpose of the paper was to perform philosophical and methodological research of the human capital concept, and identification of human capital status in post-industrial society resources structure. Historical and philosophical reconstruction methods, principles of systemic and transdisciplinary approaches were used to achieve the goal. The relationship between stages of social-economic society development and resources dematerialization was revealed. Four development stages of the human capital concept in the paradigm of science dynamics by V. S. Stepin were highlighted. The ambivalent status of the concept in scientific knowledge and public consciousness was substantiated. The significant resource potential of human capital at the post-industrial stage of society development was revealed.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.

Work Scheduling

This chapter explores the relationship between hours of work and unemployment. When it comes to time spent working in the United States at present, two problems immediately come to light. First, an asymmetrical distribution of working time persists, with some people overworked and others underemployed. Second, hours are increasingly unstable; precarious on-call work scheduling and gig economy–style employment relationships are the canaries in the coal mine of a labor market that produces fewer and fewer stable jobs. It is possible that some kind of shorter hours movement, especially one that places an emphasis on young workers, has the potential to address these problems. Some policies and processes are already in place to transition into a shorter hours economy right now even if those possibilities are mediated by an anti-worker political administration.
