Most Russians in the labor market are of working age. The share of pensioners is about 6.1 million people. About 19.7 million people drop out of the labor force. The main reasons for this include SVO, study, lack of official registration, and so on. Migrants and working pensioners to some extent replace the loss of this category of citizens from labor relations, writes RuNews24.Ru.
The largest sectors of the economy in terms of the number of employees include: trade (13.4 million people); processing (10.4 million people); construction (6.7 million people); transport (5.8 million people); education (5.3 million people).
In 2023, a decrease in unemployment is observed. 0.5 million people are registered. The total number of unemployed is 2.4 million people or 3.1% of the total number of workers.
Low unemployment creates problems with recruiting, forcing businesses to look for approaches to finding new workers and retaining old ones.
The company AntalTalent, having conducted research in 2023, found that wages decreased for 9% of employees. At the same time, earnings increased for 48% of the total number of workers.
Incentive measures implemented by employers include voluntary health insurance (79%), voluntary health insurance for family members (41%), the ability to work remotely (65%), flexible hours (50%), and corporate training (36%).
The remote work format is most preferred. The number of employees who took advantage of this opportunity is 18% on a permanent basis. 45% are partially employed remotely.
In addition, the introduction of automation and artificial intelligence also has an impact on the world of work, displacing some categories of the working population. However, despite the difficulties, the labor market in Russia is in a stable state: business is ready to attract new workers to work.
