Women in Russia calling of women was strong. Most of the nominal state benefit programs for women continued into the post-Soviet era. However, as in the Soviet era, Russian women in the 1990s predominated in economic sectors where pay is low, and they continued to receive less pay than men for comparable positions. In 1995 men in health care earned an average of 50 percent more than women in that field, and male engineers received an average of 40 percent more than their female colleagues. Despite that, on average, women were better educated than men, women remained in the minority in senior management
Moving average "S" to "Y" as shown above, though other techniques exist, such as setting "S" to an average of the first 4 or 5 observations. The importance of the "S" initialisations effect on the resultant moving average depends on "α"; smaller "α" values make the choice of "S" relatively more important than larger "α" values, since a higher "α" discounts older observations faster. Whatever is done for "S" it assumes something about values prior to the available data and is necessarily in error. In view of this, the early results should be regarded as unreliable until the iterations have had time
