News India Live, Digital Desk: Both countries are suffering in the Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on for the last three years. While soldiers are losing their lives in the war area, many problems have arisen inside the country too. Citing an analysis of Russia’s Higher School of Economics, the Eye Vestia Publication reported on May 12 that by 2024, the number of employees in Russian companies was reduced by 2.6 million, which is a record high level.
This figure shows that there is a shortage of heavy workers in Russia during the war. It is believed that behind this, Kremlin is to recruit people aggressively for the war against Ukraine, due to which there has been a shortage of people in another area.
In which field, how many workers are shortage
The report states that manufacturing (391,000), trade (347,000) and transport (219,000) lacks the most workers. In these areas, employers are now paying more than one lakh rubles ($ 1,200) monthly, which is 1.5 times more than the national average of Russia.
How much salary has increased
The average monthly gross salary in Russia increased by 20 per cent to 88 thousand rubles (about $ 1,000) in 2024, which shows the fastest annual salary increase on records against the official inflation of 9.5 per cent. The participation of the workforce also reached the historic height, of which 61 percent of the age of 15 are engaged in the Russian labor market.
Lack of workers due to war
This decrease has increased rapidly since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. To strengthen its military rank, Russia has relied on attractive contracts and aggressive recruitment campaigns rather than formal recruitment.
President Volodimir Zelansky said on 15 January that 6 lakh Russian soldiers are deployed in Ukraine. According to Pavalo Palisa, Deputy Chief of Ukrainian President’s Office, Russia is planning to increase its army to 150,000 in 2025.
