The government of the Russian Federation promised employers subsidies for the employment of young people

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a resolution according to which companies and organizations that will hire young people this year will be able to count on state support under the recruitment subsidy program.

As explained in the Cabinet, “we are talking about the employment of certain categories of citizens under the age of 30,” including graduates of colleges and universities without work experience, young people without secondary vocational or higher education, disabled people, orphans, parents of minor children.

“The subsidy will be equal to three minimum wages, increased by the district coefficient, the amount of insurance premiums and the number of employed,” the government said.

Earlier, Mishustin called on ministers to quickly prepare a third package of anti-crisis measures against the backdrop of sanctions imposed against Russia due to its special military operation in Ukraine. The first anti-crisis package has already been approved by the parliament, and the second one was submitted to the State Duma last week.

Recall that on February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), and on February 24 he made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.”

In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones.
