Abstract
The article describes the methodology and analytical capabilities of the “Monitoring of labor protests in Russia”. The information base is Internet messages about labor protests, which contain the necessary information and are first entered into a textual and then into a quantitative database. The monitoring has been functioning for 15 years and has accumulated information about 4.5 thousand protests. The structure of the Monitoring is briefly described, the main concepts and variables that allow analyzing the protest movement in several directions at once.The first direction is linear data analysis, which allows obtaining the most general data on the number of protests and their most important characteristics. Another direction is the calculation of indices, which make it possible to obtain comparable and relative indicators, which make it possible to overcome the heterogeneity of the compared objects.Another important type of analysis is the long-term dynamics of protests based on the identification of trends and the development of criteria for its assessment: determining the turning points of trends from growth to decline and vice versa, as well as the intensity of trends at each stage.An actor-transactional analysis launched in 2016, which determines the number of actors involved in labor protests (35 types of actors are identified) and types of interactions (transactions) between them, both outgoing (actor activity) and incoming (actor authority). Based on these indicators, the index of significance of each actor is calculated, which is monitored in dynamics. This makes it possible to understand the role institutional and non-institutional actors play in the settlement of protests.
