A shortage of skilled workers threatens the Russian economy
The Russian economy faces numerous challenges, including inflation, high war costs and an acute shortage of skilled workers. President Vladimir Putin is faced with the problem of stimulating the economy, but his measures could prove counterproductive. Experts warn that attempts to combat the skills shortage could further strain the economy.
The Russian economy relies on immigration, for both economic and demographic reasons. However, Russia appears to be rethinking its migration policy after a terrorist attack in Moscow. According to media reports, Russia is planning to deport migrants on a large scale. This has led to insecurity and fear among foreigners in the country.
The shortage of skilled workers in Russia has worsened in recent years, especially since the start of the war in Ukraine. It is estimated that the Russian economy has a shortage of around 4.8 million workers. This affects various industries, from manufacturing to transportation. Addressing this shortage requires innovation and technological advances.
The sanctions Russia faces are making it difficult for Putin to solve the country's economic problems. The limited opportunities to increase labor productivity mean that Russia is experiencing slow economic progress. The plan to increase labor productivity while recruiting young people into the military is met with skepticism. The planned expansion of the army could pose difficulties given the shortage of skilled workers and other economic problems.
