Monograph . — Tomsk: Tom Publishing House . Un-ta, 2007. — 200 s . The monograph is devoted to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the study of the transformation of labor and social and labor relations . Transformational processes reinforce the need to turn economic science to the genesis of labor and labor relations in order to realize a qualitatively new stage of social development. The paper also discusses the institutional foundations for the formation of social and labor relations in developed countries of the world and Russia. The monograph deals with a set of issues related to the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of social and labor relations .. Social and labor relations, from the point of view of the author's approach, represent not only the totality of their constituent elements (subjects, types, subject), but also the mechanism of their regulation, direction of development and evaluation of effectiveness. For researchers, faculty and graduate students, all those interested in labor economics and personnel management.
