This volume is one of a series of studies that RAND has been conducting on different facets of the Soviet economic-military potential. Because the Soviet government has published information on the cost of living and real wages only during favorable periods, there has been a crucial gap in our knowledge of the Soviet worker's standard of living. Grounded on the economic theory of index numbers, and drawing heavily on a number of earlier RAND studies, this Report presents the first detailed and fully documented Western study of nonagricultural real wages in the Soviet Union from the eve of the first Five Year Plan in 1928 to the present.

The paper summarizes some preliminary findings of an investigation directed to the compilation on changes in the cost of living and in real wages in the Soviet Union for the years 1928, 1937, 1948, and 1952.
Economists and others concerned with the theory of wages or with the functioning of Soviet economy will find this investigation of the inequality of wages in the Soviet Union an illuminating study. Based on data used by Soviet administrators in making their decisions, it establishes for the first time in a scientifically acceptable manner the principles according to which differences in earnings in the U.S.S.R. are determined. It is also the first study to present comparable data on the inequality prevailing under capitalism.
