Unemployment in Russia
In the modern world the level of unemployment in the country is one of the most significant indicators of economy. The governments of all developed countries contribute to labour market support enormous funds. But Russian politicians have argued that there is no problem of unemployment in Russia, the population is not threatened, it does not exist. According to Rosstat, indeed, the unemployment rate is only 6.5%. Let us now try to understand the truth behind these figures and how dangerous our country is unemployment.
The Average unemployment rate in the European Union, despite the serious complex of measures on protection of the population, according to February this year reached 10.8%. That is, even in the crisis of 2008-2009, the situation was not so difficult.
Deceptive statistics
At the end of 2011 unemployment in Russia amounted to only 6.2%, while in 2009 it exceeded 9%. Today, in many parts of the country in the labour market is very tense situation. The most problematic regions of Russia Ingushetia, where unemployment according to the first quarter of the current year is in excess of 48.9%, as well as Tyva, Chechen Republic, Altai, Kabardino-Balkaria, Dagestan and other regions. The cause of the problem lies in the weak integration in the production process of some regions, as well as overpopulation and corruption.
According to the General Director of recruiting Agency under the name of Penny Lane Personnel Tatyana Dolakovo, unemployment in Russia will decrease, when a small business will feel more confident the market will improve domestic production. But it will need strong government support. Graduates of universities and colleges must be sure that you will be able to find a job in their specialty.
Small unemployment benefits
Even when poorly paid, most Russians prefer to hold on to their jobs, and they have a reason: it’s hard to survive on unemployment benefits. Even after almost doubling in 2019, they’re still pretty small, ranging from 1,500 rubles to 8,000 rubles, which is $24 to $124 at the current exchange rate.
