MOSCOW, January 6 The challenges facing Russian business are constantly changing, today the problem of personnel shortage has come to the forefront, said the Commissioner for Russian President for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights Boris Titov.
“As for the challenges that our business people face, they are constantly changing. If at the beginning of the year these were problems related to logistics, payments, settlements, access to financial resources, now labor problems have come to the forefront «, — he said.
“As the Russian economy began to grow, a sharp shortage of personnel arose in the country, plus industrial growth coincided with a demographic hole that we had been warned about for a long time,” the agency’s interlocutor added.
And this deficit, according to him, is felt “in almost all industries, according to a survey by the P.A. Stolypin Institute for Economics of Growth, in September last year, for example, a shortage of personnel experienced by 54% of companies.»
«There are not enough workers, production personnel, service workers, salespeople, builders. The market needs specialists producing cars and other vehicles, highly qualified personnel in the production of electrical equipment, as well as computers, electronics and optical products, specialists in production coke and petroleum products, tobacco products and drinks,” Titov emphasized.
