A key feature of economic transition in Russia has been the demoralization of men at the lower end of the labor market. Rather than focusing on the labor market directly, this article looks at how men's position within the household influences their ability to deal with their employment difficulties. Men's main role within the household is as primary breadwinners, and there are few other tasks in the urban Russian household that are seen as masculine. Using longitudinal qualitative data, the authors argue that men who are unable to perform as breadwinners have their labor market problems compounded by a damaging domestic marginalization
