Northern settlement family-style: labor planing and population policy in Noril'sk
Auteur :BOND, A. R.
Description :
Without adequate housing and services, serious problems arise in holding labor resources in one location for any length of time. This is true particularly in Noril'sk, a mining-metallurgical center in northern Siberia. Forced labor, used initially to meet city manpower needs, has since been augmented by wage increments designed to recruit and maintain a largely voluntary labor force. Continued high labor turnover during the 1960s, however, compelled planners to accelerate improvements in housing and services. Such improvements promoted labor retention and, in a perverse way, overpopulation. Recent policies advocate productivity-enriching technologies not requiring increments in the labor force. (This is the latest in a series of articles on Noril'sk| others appeared in Soviet Geography, February, March, May and November 1984).
