Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the process of reallocation of labour across broad industrial sectors. There are two main reasons for being particularly interested in this issue. First, one of the most conspicuous features of the pre-reform labour market of the formerly socialist economies as compared to that of market economies is the very different structure of employment across broad industrial sectors. The large-scale movement of labour from agriculture and manufacturing industry into the service sector is evidently one of the major tasks of economic restructuring.
