Social Change and Problems of Young Adults and Women in Russia and Uzbekistan

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 November 2018

Extract

While some groups are discovering new opportunities in the shifting political and economic structures of the former Soviet Union, others are finding that their paths towards upward social mobility have become less clear or blocked. There are also growing regional differences in benefits and losses. Although privileges in the old system often translate into advantages in the new, a contracting economy and the redrawing of political boundaries are altering the social order.
